Question

My eye doctor told me i have cataracts, now what, am i going blind?

Answer 1

kinda thats when skin is growing over your eye, it will need surgery down the road but you'll be able to see.

Answer 2

It doesn't necessarily mean you're going blind.  If you get them removed you should be fine.  they have a laser procedure they can do now without the pain of surgery.  And it depends on how big they are, how bad they are and how long you've had them.

Answer 3

Cataracts are a normal part of aging.  Your lens in your eye becomes "cloudy" as you get older, and this will most likely affect your vision later in life.  Cataract surgery, though, can correct this and is a very safe procedure.

Answer 4

you can, but you just take care of those eyes and listen to your doc. They will probably get worse through-out your life, but it is a possibility you will be fine as long as you do what the doctor asks.

Answer 5

Whoa -- Dan you had an examination by the eye hole doctor---he tells you have cataracts --- Did he mention a cure or surgery to correct your sight???  I would give him a call or make an appointment for a consultation to see about your 20/20 vision and treatment for the eye condition.   If he is not the right specialist then find the correct doctor...
