Cataract surgery is most commonly performed when the patient is bothered by decreased vision in the eye that has the cataract. Just having a cataract is not necessarily a reason to have surgery. Occasionally, there is more than one cause for the decreased vision and that must be taken into account before the cataract surgery. Your ophtalmologist is experienced with this surgery and can best determine your individual case.
