Myopic Macular Degeneration

I have MMD in one eye. If I have cataract surgery in that eye, is it possible that my MMD could get worse from the cataract surgery? Also, if I have the surgery in my good eye, could I develop Macular Degeneration quicker in that eye? I understand if you have Macular Degeneration in one eye you can develop it in the other eye. I don't want to quicken the process.

  1. You raise some good questions. I would want to have a conversation with the doctor you see for MMD. Cataract surgery has some risks. Good luck making your decision.
