Can cataract be cured?

Cataracts are curable in the elderly.

Cataracts are one of the most common eye diseases in the elderly, mainly due to clouding of the lens, resulting in decreased vision. Currently, cataract surgery is the most effective treatment for cataracts. During surgery, doctors remove the clouded lens and implant an intraocular lens to restore vision.

It is important to note that cataract surgery is an effective treatment, but not everyone is suitable for surgery. Therefore, before deciding to undergo surgery, elderly people need to undergo a comprehensive eye examination to determine whether surgery is suitable.
