What are the benefits of cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery restores quality vision for millions of patients each year. Good vision is vital to an enjoyable lifestyle. Numerous research studies show that cataract surgery restores quality-of-life functions including reading, working, moving around, hobbies, safety, self-confidence, independence, daytime and nighttime driving, community and social activities, mental health, and overall life satisfaction.
The benefits of cataract removal are countless. Regaining independence and not having to limit activities are the greatest rewards a cataract patient can gain. Removal of cataracts and improvement of vision usually means more time with loved ones, less worry and confusion, and greater enjoyment of life.
