When should one opt for Cataract surgery?

opt for Cataract surgery if you are suffering from glaucoma. However, you need to contact an eye specialist first. 

One of the most precious organs in our body, the eye helps us to see everything. It is responsible for our vision. We will not be able to enjoy the beauty of nature and all that is around us if we did not have this organ. Ask any visually impaired person and he will vouch for it. However, like the other organs, the eye is also not free of ailments. Many of us have poor eyesight and have to wear spectacles/contact lenses for it. While there are many who are suffering from glaucoma, although this is more common in old age. In this ailment, the optic nerve that sends image to the vision comes under pressure. If left untreated it can lead to complete loss of vision.

The best way to cure Glaucoma is by opting for Cataract surgery. In this surgery laser rays are used to correct the optic nerve so that our vision improves. This operation hardly lasts for few minutes and you get back your vision perfectly fine. However, if a lot of time has passed since you got this problem, the chances of getting back complete vision gets diminished. 80% of your vision will be back while the remaining 20% is lost forever. To conduct this operation you need to visit an eye specialist. Only after checking the eye followed by thorough inspection will the eye specialist recommend this operation otherwise he might suggest glasses.

Ask the doctor for the hospital where it is best to get the surgery done. Most of the doctors have tie-ups with hospitals and they will recommend one accordingly. You need to call up the hospital/clinic and fix you appointment for the operation. Generally, the patient is admitted one day prior to the operation in order to keep him under observation.
