Question
A 73-year-old female had glaucoma surgery in 2012 and developed cataracts five years ago. Now, her left eye can barely see light. Can cataracts be treated after glaucoma surgery?
Answer
Cataract surgery can be performed. It requires a comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation and a lens replacement procedure. Even if vision is lost, surgery can still be done. It is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist to further confirm the diagnosis of cataracts and actively pursue treatment. In daily life, pay attention to rest, balance nutrition, moderate sun exposure, prevent osteoporosis, maintain regular exercise, and boost your immune system. May you live a happy life! Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient’s diet and care are also very important. It is suggested to pay attention to diet, choose light foods more often, and avoid unnecessary harm to the body. Hope this answer can help you. Thank you.
