Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about cataract and glaucoma, covering symptoms, treatments, and the importance of timely care.

Yes, both cataracts and glaucoma can have a genetic component, meaning a family history may increase your risk.
Unfortunately, any vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing further damage.
Yes, patients with glaucoma can still undergo cataract surgery, and in some cases, combined surgeries for both conditions may be performed.
Recovery from cataract surgery is typically quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days, though complete healing may take several weeks.
Not necessarily. With early detection and proper management, most people with glaucoma can preserve their vision throughout life.
If you are at risk, annual eye exams are recommended. Those over 40 or with a family history should have regular screenings.
