Army Physical Fitness Test Standards

Health Encyclopedia: Cataracts Treatment

Treatment

Although surgery is the only remedy for cataracts, it is almost never an emergency. Most cataracts cause no problem other than reducing a person's ability to see, so there is no harm in delaying surgery.

Early cataracts may be managed with the following measures:

Stronger eyeglasses or contact lenses
Use of a magnifying glass during reading
Strong lighting
Medication that dilates the pupil. (May help some people with capsular cataracts, although glare might be a problem with this treatment.)
