Brief Summary  
The present study will be undertaken for evaluation of NIF herbal medication by conducting clinical trials in senile immature cataract patients. It is known that diabetes also contributes in the maturity of cataract, the present clinical study will be exclusively conducted on non-diabetic patients. This will be based on investigation of HbA1c having value less than 6.5 for individuals with senile immature cataract. As no proven medicine is available for cataract, control group patients will be given commercial lubricating eye drop. This clinical trial will include 100 cataract eyes of Senile Immature Cataract which will randomly divided into 2 groups viz., Test Group I and Test Group II [Trial Group for Test medication include 75 cataract eyes and  Control  group for Commercially available lubricating drop include 25 cataract eyes]. In case patients having both eyes affected with senile immature cataract, those will be considered as two samples and data will be organized accordingly.
