Can cataracts still be treated after glaucoma surgery?

Patient's question:

Female, 73, underwent glaucoma surgery in 2012. Five years ago, cataracts reappeared, and now her left eye is almost fully covered. She can see light but not clearly with her left eye. She is unable to see with her left eye normally. Can cataracts be treated after glaucoma surgery?

Doctor's answer:

You can have cataract surgery if you pass the comprehensive eye evaluation test and exchange the lens. Even if you can't see, surgery can still be performed. It is recommended to have an eye follow-up examination for further confirmation and diagnosis, and to actively treat the condition. Pay attention to rest in daily life, maintain a proper nutritional balance, get moderate sun exposure, prevent osteoporosis, engage in regular activities, and boost your immunity! Actively pursue surgical treatment. Wishing you a happy life! Additionally, for pediatric patients during treatment, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet, eat more light foods, and avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
