Is it possible to treat cataract without surgery?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Is it possible to treat cataracts without eye surgery? I think this is at its last stage or nearby as this problem has existed for more than two years. Please suggest me some way out of this surgery threat. Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A cataract is mostly age-related, but sometimes it may develop after drug use (steroid), trauma, or any other eye disease. Congenital cataracts are present at an early age. Till now, the only solution available is cataract surgery. Are you asking for yourself or someone else? Because you are just 23 years old and if you have got cataracts, then there is a need to rule out the cause. Nowadays, cataract surgery is very safe with good results if no other ocular disease is present. You should consult your eye doctor and he will do the best according to your case scenario.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
