How do I know if I am ready for cataract surgery?

Most patients are ready for surgery when their vision is interfering with their daily activities. You may notice a decrease in quality of vision at night and more halos around lights. You may also notice needing more light to read in dim lit situations or light sensitivity in very bright lighting situations. It is important to get an eye exam yearly so your physician can tell you of any changes in cataract formation or decrease in vision.
