Early stage of cataracts

Cataracts are a disease in which the lens becomes cloudy, leading to decreased vision, and it is said that they usually do not cause any other symptoms besides visual impairment.

Typical cataracts develop over months to years

Gradually progressing in the early stages of the illness

Cannot feel any unusual symptoms

I heard there are many cases.

When my mother-in-law turned 60, she said her vision was too blurry.

I visited the ophthalmology department after making an appointment.

Since the cataracts had already progressed significantly, it was decided that surgery was necessary, so an appointment was made and the surgery was performed immediately.

The problem is that my husband had LASIK surgery when he was young.

As I get older, my eyes become more dry, gritty, and bloodshot, so I had a checkup at the hospital when my mother-in-law was having surgery, and they said it was early-stage cataracts.

Let's wait and see a bit longer before deciding on surgery.

You used to do it, but lately sometimes.

They say their vision is becoming blurry.

Does cataract have a genetic factor as well? Are there cases where it worsens in the mid-40s and requires surgery?

It's not very severe yet, so I think some management is needed, but she absolutely refuses to take supplements. Are there any other ways to manage it?
