Is cataract surgery required urgently

2024-04-22 09:55:54
As per doctor's prescription enclosed herewith my father has undergone cataract surgery in the right eye. After surgery the doctor has again advised to go for cataract surgery in the left eye. However, my father hasn't complained about vision in left eye. As a second opinion, i want to know if as per visual acuity readings, surgery is really required/urgently required in the left eye.
