Treatment options for cataracts include surgery, the most common and effective approach. During cataract surgery, the clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This outpatient procedure is minimally invasive and has a high success rate. In some cases, especially if surgery isn't immediately necessary, vision aids like new eyeglasses or stronger lighting may temporarily improve vision. However, the ultimate goal is often cataract surgery to restore clear vision. It's essential to consult an ophthalmologist for a personalized assessment and treatment plan.
