What type of cataract is not operable?
A cataract that is not operable is typically referred to as a "mature cataract" or "hyper mature cataract," where the lens has become extremely cloudy and may even have undergone significant changes, such as liquefaction or calcification. In cases where the cataract has led to complications like glaucoma or other eye diseases, surgery may also be deemed too risky. Additionally, patients with certain health conditions or those who are unable to undergo anesthesia may be considered unsuitable for cataract surgery.

Can hyperparathyroidism cause cataracts?
Yes, hyperparathyroidism can be associated with cataracts.

Additionally, the chronic effects of hypercalcemia and its impact on ocular tissues could further contribute to cataract development over time.
Does insurance cover laser cataract surgery?

What should I expect during the laser cataract surgery procedure?

What do they mean about a cataract needs to be ripe before it can be operated on?
When doctors say a cataract needs to be "ripe" before surgery, they mean that the cataract has developed sufficiently to warrant intervention. A "ripe" cataract typically has reached a stage where it significantly impairs vision and affects the patient's quality of life. Operating on a cataract too early, when it is still mild, may not yield significant benefits, while waiting too long can lead to complications. Thus, the timing of surgery is crucial for optimal outcomes.
