A member asked:
When is it determined that cataracts are "ripe"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cataract: Your ophthalmologist will take into account your general health, eye problems like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes related retinal changes etc and see how your vision will improve if the cataract will be removed. You must discuss how your life is being affected by visual problems. Generally, it is a mutual decision.
