Cataracts usually develop over a period of many months or even years.
They can occur as early as age 40 but surgery is usually performed after the age of 55 years
How do cataracts affect you?
Initially, you may not even be aware that a cataract is developing. As the cataract progresses, you will notice a deterioration of your distance and/or reading vision. Hazy, fuzzy and blurred vision, double vision sensitivity to light, glare, and difficulty with night driving are all symptoms of cataract.

This type of surgery means that your recovery period is dramatically shortened. Normal activities such as driving, walking, sports etc. can usually be commenced within a few days.
