If you’ve been diagnosed with a cataract, you may have many questions about treatments. While non-surgical treatments won’t remove a cataract, they may be able to improve your visual comfort and quality of life for a period of time, until the cataract worsens. Surgery is the only treatment option to medically remove a cataract and treat the effect on your eyesight. Ask your ophthalmologist about which treatment method is right for you.
