Senile Cataract

2018-07-02 15:56:31
Sir My mother was diagnosed with early developing cataract in right eye last week . The lens opacification is mild . While the doctors at Safdarjung hospital ( Delhi ) have told to get the surgery performed , currently it is not feasible for us to have the surgery done . So is there any eye drop or any other medication that can be used till we go for the surgery ( in October most probably ) . Or should we not wait and get the surgery done immediately ? Please help !

If she is having comfortable vision with glasses then you can get her refraction done and start using specs as advised. And can wait for some time. There is no medicine which can help.
