Liu Yufu, Cataract Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital: Hello! Whether surgery is possible or not needs to be determined by examination, and the extra number can be obtained through the website.

Patient: Thank you, Dr. Liu, for replying to me in your busy schedule. My mother recently had another examination. The doctor considers that arteriosclerosis of the fundus may be the main problem. I wonder if the vision can be restored to any level after cataract surgery?

Liu Yufu, Cataract Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital: Hello! Arteriosclerosis of the fundus vessels is related to high blood pressure, so first of all, blood pressure should be controlled, and secondly, diet should be adjusted to reduce the intake of salt.
