A member asked:
Dear doc, i have stage 3 cataract on right & 2 on left eye but can see well with corrected bi-focal glasses.what happens if operation is delayed?

May advance: Delaying the removal of a confirmed cataract simply means you go a longer time with impaired vision. Later stage cataracts are also a bit more tricky to remove surgically. However the basic rule is to consider removal when your visual activities become difficult.
