Brief Summary   Cataract is one among the avoidable blindness and major contributor to visual impairment. Immature Cortical cataract is ana incomplete clouding of cortex of natural intraocular lens causing visual disturbance. Currently as there is no established treatment in the management of cataract at early stages, surgery is the only line of treatment in the modern science. The ayurvedic management and the drug chosen could effectively manage the cataract and delays further progression of the disease.
