Frequently asked questions
When should you have cataract surgery?
There is no specific level of vision at which surgery is indicated, but as soon as your impaired vision interferes with your daily life, the procedure is worth considering. You may notice your impaired vision when reading, working, watching TV, driving, playing sport or caring for others.
If you are a driver, you must be able to achieve the visual standard required by the DVLA and it may be necessary to have cataract surgery to keep your licence. Leaving a cataract untreated does not damage the eye, but as the lens opacity worsens, your vision will deteriorate until little sight remains. Surgery at this stage may be more difficult.
