Non-Surgical Treatment for Cataracts

While they always impede vision to some extent, cataracts do not always progress to a stage where surgical removal becomes necessary. If the cloudiness caused by cataracts does not cause significant vision loss, non-surgical treatment often corrects the associated vision problems.

Until surgery becomes necessary, many patients can rely on a strong eyeglass prescription, bifocals or magnifiers to help the vision that has been distorted by cataracts. Other visual aids, such as modified light or large print reading materials may improve sight and lifestyle.

By adjusting lights and furniture in the home, people with cataracts may find it easier to live with low vision. Eliminating hazards in the home makes it safer for those with cataracts to live without surgery.
