Dear Sir, I am 73 years of age. God's grace I have no eye problem so far. During a routine eye check for redness, which has gone by certain eye drops, the ophthalmologist told me that I have cataract which is ripe enough and can be operated in two weeks time. I have absolutely no problem in seeing with my glasses. No haziness, no blurred vision or headache or any other symptom. I wish to postpone the cataract operation for about six months as my children are coming from USA in a month and also I have some important financial matters regrading income tax etc to be settled in the coming months. Is there any risk in postponing the operation for about six months? I will be highly grateful if I get to know the opinion pf an experienced ophthalmologist on the matter of postponing the operation. Thanking you O. Shareef.
