Will cataract surgery improve my night vision?
D2D. If your poor night vision is due to a dense or mature cataract, your night vision will certainly be improved after cataract surgery. However, if you have already been experiencing poor night vision even before the development of cataracts, then your poor night vision may be due to a problem in your retinal as opposed to the cataract. For cases of this nature, cataract surgery will NOT be able to improve your night vision. Hope this helps!
How can I best prepare for the cataract surgery to get optimal outcomes?
Firstly, it is preferable for you to be completely well when going for surgery. Hence, take more vitamin C-rich foods or supplements to boost your immune system. Vitamin C is also known to help tissue healing. If you have any flu, viral-like illness or fever, it may be advisable to postpone the surgery till you are well. This is to prevent any spread of infection to your eye. Secondly, avoid taking any foods or medication that are known to cause blood-thinning as this may cause more excessive or easy bleeding during surgery.
