Episode description
👁️ Cataracts are a common cause of vision loss in older adults, leading to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty with daily tasks.
💉 Surgery is safe, quick, and effective — restoring clarity, reducing fall risk, and even lowering dementia risk.
🔬 Advanced lenses can reduce dependence on glasses, while intraocular antibiotics help prevent rare infections.
⚠️ Watch out for meds like tamsulosin that may complicate surgery — always inform your eye doctor!
