Question: Does
cataract surgery make the patient color blind? Also will it affect my ability
to obtain a CDL?
Answer: Cataract surgery in no way should
make you color blind. If you weren’t color blind before the cataract operation
you shouldn’t be color blind afterward. In fact, cataracts cause colors to
become faded and many patients report that colors are much more vivid after
their surgery. So, unless you have some other eye problem this should not be a
problem-nor should cataract surgery hamper your ability to get a CDL.
