I have cataracts. what do i do now?

See your doctor: Treatment for cataracts is only indicated if you are having problems with seeing to do your daily activities. Most cataracts are present 5-20 years before needing cataract surgery. There are rare cases where emergent cataract surgery is indicated.

Cataracts: If the cataracts are blocking vision and limiting your normal daily activities, see a cataract surgeon.
