well…
its depend on how densed the cataract is…
if its just a normal density then its ok if shes not operating…
but its better if she goes for the operation,
because as times gooes on the density of the cataract will increase n its too hard,n this will cause high pressure on the eye, and the eye might get very swollen n she will have problems.
operations for normal catarct its always more safer than the densed cataract, as hard cataract is harder, n they will use higher ultrasound n suction power when they suck it out..(if shes going to do the ultrasound/laser style)
its a waste for her to always go to optimetrist to get a new power..because her power will keep increasing n changes as the cataract keeps getting harder n harder…n u will have to keep changing glasses power….u will waste more money for glasses than the operations itself.
take her for a eye check up, n body check up when u wanna do the op on her..just to make sure her body condition will be able to do the op…..if shes fine then its advicable to do it.
convince her dat its ok to do it if her body is fine,she will just have to lie down and relax, n the doc will do the rest, she will feel no pain,and it will be done in approx 30-45mins…n she can go home after dat like a normal person…
after the op, her vision will be better,sooner just make a correct glasses for her, n things will be fine
