Well, for very mild cataracts, the common treatment is doing nothing. Maybe prescribing a new pair of glasses.
If patients are not too keen on surgery and feel that lifestyle is not impacted, I think its ok to just leave it.
There are many patients, I mean the overwhelming majority of patients that I've seen with cataract, who say that the cataracts aren't affecting their lives, so we just leave it alone and that is fine. That is the most common way of treating it.
The moment it affects your lifestyle, your activities, daily living, driving and job, and you cannot function well, then it's time to do some treatment.
The usual treatment is surgery. I mean there are some eye drops in the market that help prevent or reverse cataract, they sometimes work.
