Cataract Surgery
is a common and highly effective medical procedure used to treat cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that leads to vision impairment. During the surgery, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure, often performed as an outpatient surgery, is minimally invasive and typically requires only local anesthesia. The surgeon uses ultrasound (phacoemulsification) or a laser to break up and remove the cloudy lens. After the cloudy lens is extracted, the IOL is implanted to restore clear vision. Cataract surgery is known for its high success rate in improving vision, reducing glare sensitivity, and enhancing overall visual quality. It is a well-established and safe procedure that has a significant impact on the quality of life for those affected by cataracts. After surgery, patients often experience a rapid recovery and a substantial improvement in their ability to see clearly and engage in daily activities.
