What treatment for cataracts is available?
Presently, there is no medication, eye drops, exercises or glasses to cure or prevent cataracts. Cataract surgery is the only way to remove a cataract. Cataract treatment is one of the safest and most common types of surgery. Cataracts cannot be removed with a laser, only through surgical incision. In cataract surgery the cloudy lens is removed from the eye. The focusing power of the removed lens is achieved by replacing it with a permanent intraocular lens implant (IOL), which has been selected to suit the specific eye measurements of each patient.
When should the cataract be removed?
For the most part it is up to the patient to decide when they want to undergo cataract surgery. This is very much an individual decision because each patient has different vision requirements. Questions concerning cataract operations and the need for cataracts treatment should be discussed with an accredited optometrist and/or an ophthalmologist.
