When am I ready for Surgery?

If your natural lens is becoming cloudy (cataract formation) and you are noticing symptoms because of this change, you may be ready for cataract surgery. Make sure to discuss any troubles you may have with your vision with your optometrist. Cataract related symptoms may include blurry vision, trouble with glare, halos, trouble driving at night or trouble with changing light conditions. If these symptoms are thought to be due to cataract development, surgical treatment may be indicated. There are options to have early cataract surgery for some patients even before cataract develops for vision correction purposes.
