Do cataracts have to be operated on?

Surgery is not necessary for cataracts. Early cataracts with insignificant clinical symptoms can be treated with medication; if cataracts lead to loss of vision, blurred vision, etc., surgery is needed. Early cataract symptoms are relatively mild, will not affect vision and normal life, do not need to undergo surgical treatment, you can use some Focalin eye drops, Pinoxin eye drops; you can also use some antioxidants, including vitamin C, B vitamins, glutathione, etc., can improve the metabolism of the lens, slow down the development of the disease. If the clinical symptoms are more obvious, affecting vision and normal life, surgical treatment, including extracapsular cataract extraction, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract extraction, etc., should be actively taken to alleviate the clinical symptoms. When cataract occurs, one should actively seek medical treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment in order to reduce the adverse effects on the body.
