In this cataract Q&A, I answer your questions about cataracts and cataract surgery! We talk about clear vs yellowtinted lenses, eye drops as treatment for cataracts (and whether it works!), and how medications for the prostate like Flomax affect eye surgery and increases risks of complications.

I received more questions than I could answer in a single video so if you have other questions about cataracts and surgery please leave them in the comment section, and if there is enough interest I'll film another Q&A!
