System issues such as hypothyroidsism and steroid medications can affect some eye diseases. After examining her eyes, Allison was diagnosed with a senile nuclear cataract of the left eye. The ophthalmologist discussed her treatment options, such as surgery. Allison scheduled surgery for a cataract extraction the following week.
