I recently moved to Florida and my doctor up north said my cataract was not mature yet. How long does usually take and when should I see a doctor again?
It can take months to decades to “mature”. Typically, you should be seen yearly to follow it. It cannot hurt to get a baseline exam this year. We would also screen you for glaucoma, macular degeneration, etc.

I am from trinidad in the caribbean and had an eye exam about a month ago in Pembrook Pines Florida. Dr. Wenzel said that I hd a cataract and
suggested that I see Dr. Skolnick in that regard. In Trinidad we pay Six
of our dollars for one U.S. so you see ,the problem is cost. If you have
spcial accomodation for third world countries, please let me know what it
would cost to remove the cataract and replace it with a single or bifocal
lense
Thanking you
