A member asked:
I am 50 and discovered i had cataract 3 months ago. two weeks ago my vision started to deteriorate more. can cataract develops badly that quick?

Yes they can: cataracts develop slowly and go unnoticed. when bad enough, it can quickly become noticeable and require cataract surgery. make sure your surgeon does no shot/no stitch surgery

Cataract: Yes cataracts and the symptoms from cataracts can develop that quick! More often so in younger population from my experience (in the 50's).
