View allMy mother has been diagnosed with early-stage cataracts in both eyes but they're not fully formed yet. Should she consider surgery now or wait until they're more advanced? Also, is it safe to operate on both eyes within two days one eye one day and the next eye the following day? What else should we keep in mind about the procedure and recovery?
It's generally advisable to have cataract surgery when it starts impacting daily life, whether the cataracts are early or more advanced. Waiting for cataracts to fully mature isn't necessary and can sometimes lead to complications. Operating on both eyes within two days, one day per eye, is generally considered safe and can be beneficial for quicker recovery and convenience. However, individual circumstances and medical history should be discussed with the ophthalmologist

My 65-year-old mom has a cold with yellow mucus when she coughs. Is it safe for her to get eye surgery right now or should we wait?
It's generally recommended to postpone non-urgent surgery, like eye surgery, when a patient has a cold, especially with yellow mucus, due to the risk of complications and potential for the surgery to be affected by an infection. Yellow mucus indicates an infection, which can make surgery more risky.
