The cataract conundrum is not at all suprising when you consider:
- There are usually 4 or more treatment options to choose from.
- Sometimes the various treatment options do not appear to be very different at all.
- Your eye doctor is a busy person. Cataract surgery discussions can take a lot of time. Ideally as a patient, you can enter the conversation with a baseline level of knowledge to ensure you get the most important questions to you answered during your encounter(s) with your eye doctor. It is never the wrong answer to schedule a second consultation with your cataract surgeon to further discuss lens choices. These are your eyes we are talking about!
Compound the above with the fact that so many eye care services now have an out of pocket fee attached to them and everything becomes amplified.
If the above applies to you please follow the links below to learn more about common eye diseases, their treatment options and pros/cons associated with each of the choices.
