disease. This means that the patient does not have to wait until the cataract becomes mature. The cataract procedure can be done if there is substantial degradation of quality of life or if the cataract interferes with professional or daily life activities.<\/p>\n<p>Some eye co-morbidities should also be taken into account. For example, in the short eye the lens may be too large, blocking the intraocular fluid outflow and leading to glaucoma. This lens is best removed, followed by intraocular lens (IOL) implantation to prevent and even cure ocular hypertension. In other cases, lens cloudiness prevents complete examination of the fundus, which is essential in diagnosing and monitoring some eye diseases. In some patients with nuclear cataracts, myopia suddenly appears that is associated with the change of the optical density of the lens. Here, surgery is needed to restore refractive status by eliminating the refractive error and the difference between the two eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_custom color_alternate\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>In some relatively young patients, there is a decrease in near vision.
