Hello, MaazShakil - You are so lucky to get advice from Dr. Hagen. He is a generous, kind, professional M.D. and helps so many, many people here. I can't say enough positive things about him as he has helped me in the past as well.
Anyway, I do have one question for you. Are you sure you have floaters? These would look like black spots (like pepper or gnats) or squiggly little hair like things floating across your vision. Is it possible you have "visual snow"? This would look like pixels - as if you were watching a black and white television screen. You can google it - it's not something the medical community has studied yet, but it's becoming more and more well known because so many people have been describing it. I have it... but I've never talked about it because I thought this was just the same way other people's vision was. It's weird and there's nothing we can do about it, but allow our brain to ignore.
Thanks alot sir.
Can you guide me one more thing?
My both eyes number are slightly decreasing day by day due to this immature cateract. What should I do now?

Sir I wanna give you some answers . I dont have diabetes, I dont have any kidney issue and I dont drink alcohol. I do smoke cigarettes in the past, almost 18 a day. But now I have reduced it to 5-7 a day and in fiture K will qut smoking. Issue is that in Pakistan, this is very popular to misguide the patient and to make money out of it. Sir out of 4 doctors, 3 have suggested not to disturb the cataract it cant be treated at this age becauase it is immature and will be treated at the age of 40s. Only one doctor told me that you can treat your left eye's cateract but he told me thats its up to you and if you feel that you are doing your work properly then there is no need and no emergency. Infact you cant see any cloudiness in my lens from the outer side. Anyways Cataract is not a big issue for me at this age. The main issue is the eye floaters, I alway think that why did they come, I was enjoying my life and busy in my work. And doctors told me that just ignore them it will not harm your eyes. But they are disturbing my vision. It is so annoying to see black spots in my vision 24/7. I am scared of going to my work and living my life. There is any councellor? I dont feel any charm in my life now. I ant to enjoy my life my work and my traveling life. I am a frequent traveller. Please give me the solution.
It is very abnormal to have cataracts, especially where surgery has been suggested, at 24. There are many risk factors that need to be excluded to see if they caused the cataracts: high among them diabetes, heavy alcohol use, heavy nicotine use, low birth weight/being in incubator, family history of cataracts at young age, kidney disease, trauma to eye. These should be excluded by a good exam by an internal medicine specialist. There is no good treatment for floaters. In the west sometimes lasers are used and in the most extreme case the jello mateerial (vitreous) in the back of the eye is removed but I don't recommend either. Cataract surgery increases the risk of retinal detachment and will not help floaters. It seems everyone you have consulted agree you have cataracts, you should try and find out why. You would need to either stick with the Eye MD you are most pleased with or take a trip to a different facility for yet another opinion. That is all I can tell you. If you have the ability you might want to go to a European eye center of excellent like Moorsfield Eye Hospital in London. That's is as much as I can help you. Nothing is more difficulty than having multiple different or conflicting opinions from different physicians.
