- What is the best time to treat cataracts?
- Many people think that cataract has to develop completely before it can be removed, but this is no longer true. Cataract surgery is a safe and predictable procedure that can be performed at any point of time you feel your reduced vision is impacting your day-to-day life.
- What happens if cataract is not treated?
- If left untreated, over a period of time, the clouded areas of the lens can become larger and denser, resulting in worsening of the vision. This could take anywhere between a few months to many years. Eventually your entire lens can become clouded, leading to further increase in blurred vision, thus affecting your daily activities.
- How do I know which lens is right for me?
- No single lens works for everyone and your ophthalmologist can determine the most appropriate option for you. However in general if you would like to depend less on glasses, ask about our range of Advanced Technology Lenses.
