I'm 76 years old person and I have undergone CABG IN APRIL 2014. I have HTN & type 2 diabetes since 1997. But due to medicines both are under control. I was operated for my right eye cataract in 2014 but now I can't bear lights of cars from opposite side due to glare. My eye surgeon says that the glare will go after the cataract surgery of my left eye. Should I believe the eye surgeon and go for cataract surgery of my left eye. Please advise. Thanks.

This can be treatment readily by laser procedure popularly called YAG CAP. you must have experience some relief from glare following ur right eye surgery.
