    The timing of cataract surgery mainly depends on the following aspects: one is the requirements or needs for vision, which is different for everyone; The other is how much his vision affects his quality of life and how dangerous it is to his health. To put it simply, for example, if someone is a painter or designer and has high requirements for visual quality, then his cataract can be done earlier. In a situation like this, as long as he personally feels that the cataract is causing visual disturbance and feels uncomfortable, even if the vision is there, we will have surgery.

    For some people who usually use less eyes, work at home or have a relatively small range of activities, and have relatively low requirements for vision, they can also wait for the vision loss to be more serious, such as the following. But the choice of the best timing, from our current point of view, mainly depends on his personal requirements. In terms of the condition, the milder the degree of cataract itself, the lower the risk of surgery, the higher the safety of the operation, and the higher the probability of success, and now we have a lot of variety, functional lenses, which can not only solve the problem of vision, but also significantly improve the quality of vision, that is, our cataract surgery has developed from simple vision restoration surgery to refractive surgery.

    Not only do we regain our sight, but we also want to improve our refraction, improve our quality of life, and raise our standard of living.
