By left untreated, I'm assuming that you mean having cataract surgery (to remove the cataract). Cataract surgery is usually done when the patient has trouble seeing to perform the daily chores of living, i.e., reading, driving, golfing, etc., and the eye doctor cannot improve the vision to a satisfactory level with glasses or other visual aids. At this point, it is time to schedule or discuss scheduling cataract surgery. You, the patient, decide when your vision is limiting your ability to comfortably see and the doctor should verify that the cataract is the reason for your compromised vision.

Lasik uses a blade system to make the Lasik (thin corneal) flap, suction is released and the cutting instrument is removed, the flap is lifted and the laser is then used to reshape the cornea to treat the refractive error (myopia, astigmatism and/or hyperopia), and the flap is then repositioned over the laser treated cornea.
