Suggest Treatment For Horseshoe Or Flap Tear In My Retina And Cataract
Brief Answer:
Can be treated surgically.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Cataract is an age related change in the lens of the eye which is more prominent in case of high myopia like you have.
It is not something dangerous. The hazy lens of the eye can be easily removed and replaced with the other lens surgically. If the cataract is only mild then you can delay the surgery by a few months.
Development of cataract is not related to the retinal tears but can be aggravated by diabetes.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
