Patient: Description of condition (onset time, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Dr. He: Hello, my mother’s eyes are not good since last year, she is always photophobic and always feels water in her eyes. The hospital in her hometown thinks she has cataract, but due to the initial growth, she cannot be operated. She has not been treated. May I ask Dr. He if it is possible to operate on or control the cataracts of the first growth with medication?
