Can myopia with cataract cause blindness?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I will first of all say that myopia is correctable and cataracts are curable, so there is no need to worry about blindness as long as you are attending your follow ups regularly. You have mentioned that your power is -10 but I want to ask you how much your vision is with the -10D, it is usually written as a fraction Ex:6/6, 6/12 etc. If your visual acuity is above 6/9, your eye sight is as good as normal and there will cause you problems with your work. In case it is anywhere less than 6/12, means - 1. Your cataracts are in the stage to be operated or your high power has cause a few degenerative changes in your retina. Unfortunately, your eyesight cannot be improved further is you have the latter, but in case of the former, you have no reason to worry. Like I have told you, cataracts are curable and after the surgery, as we would have put in a intraocular lens inside your eye, you will not need to wear any glasses either. You can enjoy spectacle free good vision for the rest of your life. There are no home remedies or special diets that can make the cataracts or a power of -10D come to zero. If you can scan and send me your doctor's notes, I can give you more clarity as to what is exactly going on.
