The right time for cataract surgery depends on how much your cataracts are affecting your daily life—not just what they look like on an exam.
You may be ready for surgery if you’re experiencing:

• Difficulty driving, especially at night
• Trouble reading or seeing screens
• Glare or halos around lights
• Colors that look faded
