Abstract
A non-surgical treatment of cataract in a human or animal. The invention specifically relates to the administration of a deglycating enzyme and its cofactor(s), which results in the deglycation of the lens crystallins. The disclosure thus relates to a minimal invasive type of treatment of cataract, which is easier and cheaper compared to existing surgical methods.
