L22SL asked:
I have bad eyesight from my younger days. Recently I have been diagnosed with Glaucoma (responding to treatment). Dr. says getting a cataract operation will improve my sight. I do not have any cataracts in my eyes. I am 45 years old, female. I have Type 2 Diabetes (though taking Insulin) but no retinopathy. I am short sighted as well as have astigmatism. Is it true that getting a cataract done – replacing lenses has some risks and the operation can go wrong?
