Who needs cataract surgery?
Cataracts will not usually damage your eyes, but you may find that the cloudiness of your vision, caused by the cataract, may start to make it difficult for you to see and carry out your normal daily activities. There aren’t any medicines or drops that can remove cataracts – surgery is the only way to treat them. Cataract surgery (which is a relatively straightforward procedure) is the most common operation performed today in the UK, with about 350,000 surgeries performed each year.
The decision to have surgery should not be based solely on your eye test (visual acuity) results. You may have other personal reasons for deciding to have surgery, such as your daily activities, hobbies and interests.
