Am I a Candidate for Cataract Surgery?

Is Cataract Surgery Right for Me?

Just because you have a cataract doesn’t automatically make you a suitable candidate for cataract surgery. In numerous instances, patients can go for months or even years without significant vision issues due to their condition. If it starts to affect your daily life, surgery might be a good option to consider.

The decision to undergo cataract surgery should be a collaborative one between you and your doctor. Your cataract surgeon at SightMD will guide you through specific questions to consider before proceeding with the procedure:

  • Are your vision problems preventing you from safely performing your job and driving?
  • Is reading or watching TV becoming an impossible task?
  • Are you unable to go shopping, cook, do yard work or other daily tasks without difficulty?
  • Are you unable to see faces clearly?
  • Is the glare from headlights making it hard for you to drive at night?
  • Is your vision making it difficult for you to maintain an independent lifestyle?

Are you a candidate for cataract surgery?

If the answer to these questions is yes, you may be a candidate and it might be the right time to consider cataract surgery.
