How do you know when it’s time to have cataract surgery?
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ARTICLE:

If you have cloudy or burry vision, or dim or things don’t look as bright or colorful as they used to, one or both of your eyes may have a clouded lens. Many people say that their vision with cataracts is similar to the effect of looking through a dirty car windshield.

Cataracts need to be removed only when the change in your vision begins to interfere with your everyday life—for instance, making it more difficult to drive, read, or watch TV. In some cases, simply changing your eyeglass prescription may help to improve your vision. 

“The proper time to consider cataract surgery is when significant enough clouding of the natural lens develops and causes blurring of vision, glare, halos, starbursting, difficulty seeing street signs, and difficulty with small print,” says Dr. Justo. “Once the patient feels that their vision is compromised significantly enough and that their vision cannot be corrected with eyeglasses readily, that is the time to consider cataract surgery.”

Is laser cataract surgery safer?

In a laser cataract procedure, the surgeon uses a femtosecond laser, instead of handheld surgical tools, to make the incision and lens opening. The procedure is more controlled and precise than being fully performed manually, explains Dr. Justo. This can potentially reduce certain risks and improve the visual outcome of cataract surgery.
