Cataracts can only be removed with surgery.
If a cataract is present but it does not impair your daily activities or lifestyle, it is not yet necessary to undergo surgery. Cataract surgery should be considered when it is daily life is impaired.
Cataract surgery description
When cataract surgery is performed, your ophthalmologist will remove the cloudy lens found within the eye and then replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Once decided, a discussion will be conducted by the ophthalmologist about the IOL which will be implanted and how they will work.
If someone has had a cataract operation, it is possible to experience hazy vision many year later after the operation. This can occur due to the posterior capsule of the lens becoming opacified (thus appearing cloudy). It can easily be rectified by using a laser which can restore clear vision.
Cataracts are one of the most common reasons for vision loss which is treatable. It is recommended to discuss your personal situation with your ophthalmologist and furthermore decide whether you are ready for the surgery to be performed.
