What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts are a common vision problem associated with aging. In most cases, cataracts develop in patients over 50 and become more prevalent with age. Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye that occurs when specific proteins clump together. Once cataracts form, they will not resolve naturally or through medications.
Candidates For Cataract Surgery
Patients who have been diagnosed with cataracts that are affecting their visual function are candidates for cataract surgery. There are certain instances in which we may not recommend cataract surgery immediately. These include:
#1 Patients whose eyes are in the early stages of cataract development, in which other solutions can correct the problem. For example, using better lighting and having an up-to-date eyeglasses prescription may be adequate to achieve clear vision.#2 Patients with certain pre-existing eye diseases or systemic conditions may not be able to undergo cataract surgery.#3 Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to postpone cataract surgery.
In all other cases, we recommend that patients undergo cataract surgery as soon as cataracts negatively impact their vision. Once the vision is impaired, there is no reason to delay the surgery, as cataracts will only worsen as time goes on.
