A member asked:

Is intraocular lens medically necessary for 70yr old's cataract removal? doc is forcing mom to replace her natural lens during cataract surgery.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very Necessary!: Absolutely. If your mom doesn't get an implant after her surgery, she will be blind without wearing either contact lenses or ultra thick glasses with power of greater than +10. Intraocular lens implants are one of the miracles of modern medicine. They are absolutely necessary, not luxuries fit only for a wealthy young person. Best wishes
