while dealing with cataract (or anything else?)

I've just learned I have one, will see 2d doc next week, and wondering about the consequences.

Thanks

edit:

Saw retina doc today, and she said its not necessary to remove the pucker either before or after cataract surgery; she'll monitor it over time, but apparently its not serious enough to mean my vision won't be adequate without surgery for it. I can do it in the future, if I decide my vision's not adequate.

And there's NO relation between pucker and degeneration (which Dad had.)

So now I 'just' have to decide when to have cataract removed.
