If the eye/cataract gets inflamed (which is easier now that there is a cataract), the cataract can get much worse. The drops are to help delay progression. Surgery is an option, like you said. We're not their yet either. Gosh, I don't know of natural things you could try...
Just this Sept - Magic was ddx'd with a very tiny juvenile cataract. The opthamologist mentioned no eye drops for him. My general vet has recommended that he go on Vit E and Selenium, he also said that this is "controversial" in terms of efficacy, some small studies have shown this to be effective, some not.

I'm glad this subject came because I am going to check in with him this wk, and ask about those eye drops.

I've yet to get a second opinion (which I will do) from another opthamologist here in Toronto.
