Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need surgery as soon as a cataract is found?
No. Early cataracts are often monitored for years. Surgery is considered when the cataract begins to interfere meaningfully with your daily activities.
Will you handle my care after cataract surgery?
Yes. Dr. Katz co-manages cataract patients, handling pre-operative measurements and post-operative follow-up in coordination with your surgeon.
Can a new prescription help before surgery?
Often, yes. Updating your glasses or contacts can keep you seeing comfortably while a cataract is still in its early stages.
