I have cataract in my left eye. Doctor advised me for operation and I opted to do the operation in November as the weather will be pleasant by then as I do not want to go for operation during the hot and humid months. I have two questions. The first is ~ Will there be any other complication if the operation is not done for 5/6 months? And the second ~ I have health insurance. Will health insurance be valid in case of eye cataract operation? Will cost of the lens be reimbursed by the insurance company?

Hello A. Nothing much will happen in next 6 months if your Cataract is still immature and progress slowly...else there is risk of lens induced glaucoma B. Health insurance company usually reimburse around 20k depending on your policy.. kindly consult your policy agent

There is no harm in waiting for another 6 months if you are having immature cataract , you should find out from your insurance company before surgery how much they will pay because these days various types of costly lens are available .
