- Abstract
Cataracts are of concern to the world as one of the diseases that cause blindness. Diabetes mellitus has a relationship with cataracts due to hyperglycemia through polyol pathways that are converted to sorbitol by the aldose reductase enzyme. Polyol pathway has implications for the pathogenesis of the formation of diabetic cataracts. The use of anti-cataract drugs using plants is considered as a solution for the formation of diabetic cataracts. Several studies on plant material have been developed for the treatment of diabetic cataracts that assess the performance potential of bioactive compounds through inhibition of the enzyme Aldose Reductase. Studies from various recent research results provide information that plants as natural products have the potential for a large solution of diabetes cataract prevention and treatment.
