My mom has cataract developing in her eyes. I want to know when can we get it operated? She just had a spine open surgery about 25 days ago. Is it okay to go for cataract surgery right now? Or do we have to wait a certain period of time? Of course, I'm going to consult an ophthalmologist but just wanted to clear some facts before I go to the clinic.

1st  evaluate the stage of cataract. If she enjoys useful vision and is comfortable  then  you can avoid it for few months. Otherwise with the permission of your orthopaedic surgeon,You can plan it within this month even.

If she is comfortable in walking and sleeping straight for 15 to 20 minuets and the spine surgeon permits she can go for cataract surgery.
