A member asked:
Good evening doctors. are there any symptoms that i would know that i need to have cataract surgery and it is no longer prudent to wait?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Experienced ophthalmologists delay cataract surgery until the problem has reached a state of maturity and stabilization. This is to assure success and safety. Symptoms can herald the presence of a cataract, but your surgeon is the ultimate source to decide upon the timing of a procedure.
