The decision to have cataract surgery depends on how much your vision is affected by the cataract and how it impacts your daily life. Here are some key points to consider:
Blurred or Cloudy Vision: If you're experiencing significant difficulty seeing clearly, especially when driving, reading, or recognizing faces, it may be time to consult with your eye doctor.

Night Vision Problems: Increased glare, halos around lights, or trouble seeing at night can signal that your cataract is interfering with your safety, particularly while driving. If you've gotten to a point where you've stopped driving at night. It's time for a cataract exam now.

Prescription Changes: If your glasses or contact lenses are no longer improving your vision, it could be a sign that your cataract is progressing.

Lifestyle Impact: When cataracts begin to interfere with your work, hobbies, or daily activities, and you're noticing a decline in your quality of life, surgery may be the best option.
