Care of cataracts.
Medical management may be beneficial for certain types of cataracts, depending on the visual needs of the patient and concomitant ocular or systemic conditions. Surgical intervention and postoperative visual rehabilitation with the use of glasses or contact lenses has a high success rate, although the patient should be followed closely for complications that can occur months to years after surgery.
