Cataract and Macular DegenerationAccording to Dr. Lylas Mogk, author of Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Saving and Maximizing Your Sight , "With very advanced cataracts ... you may also have macular degeneration without knowing it, because your doctor can't see through the cataracts to detect the AMD."
If the blurry vision is from a cataract, your vision will be clearer once the cataract is removed. But if the blurred vision is from macular degeneration, the blurred vision will still be present after the cataract surgery.
