I was diagnosed with early stage cataracts four years ago at age sixty but can still see well. Doctor told me it will be a while before surgery.

I am so thankful that you are still seeing well. I am in the same boat and just talked with my doc. I am now 78 and have dealt with some cataracts for some time now, as well as a vitreous separation in my right eye. My doctor said "If I told you your vision would be about 25 to 30% better would you want surgery or are you happy ENOUGH right now. And the latter is the case. I am not one to want procedures too early as I was a nurse; unfortunate thing is we always saw the people where "something went wrong". Though usually it doesn't, we didn't see the ones who were thrilled. They went home happy. Good luck.

Do you have a question?
