*Spotlight: Cataract (21) Need for cataract - request for advice

10 October, 2026

I am Dr BABALE Garba, I have glaucoma since childhood. My right eye was confirmed to cataract but honestly i am afraid to go for the surgery at Macca Hospital in Kano, Northwest, Nigeria. My fear was informed following a cataract surgery a friend had with glaucoma and went blind for the remaking part of his life and has since 2016.

I need your urgent intervention or advice.

Thank you
