| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Condition | Surgery: Cataract |
| Intervention | The study will be a randomised clinical trial with subjects being placed into a group obtaining early surgery or one obtaining surgery at the usual time.

| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure | Power statistics have been used to determine subject numbers required. Between group comparisons of visual function, postural stability/control and mobility measures. An alpha level of P <0.05 will be used to determine statistical significant differences. |
