When Is the Right Time for Cataract Surgery?
Published on April 17, 2025 | By Dr. Naveen Super Speciality Eye Hospital
Cataracts are a common part of aging, causing cloudiness in the natural lens of the eye and leading to blurred or dim vision. While they typically develop slowly, many people wonder when it's the right time to consider cataract surgery.
Signs That It May Be Time for Surgery
- 👁️ Blurred or double vision, especially in bright light
- 🚗 Difficulty driving at night due to glare from headlights
- 📖 Trouble reading or performing close-up work
- 🎨 Colors appearing faded or yellowed
- 🔍 Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
If cataracts begin to affect your daily life and limit your ability to work, drive, or enjoy hobbies, it’s a strong indication that surgery may be beneficial.
