Cataract Surgery is a safe and effective procedure that treats cataracts, a common eye condition where the lens becomes cloudy. This clouding causes blurred vision, glare, and trouble seeing clearly. Cataracts often develop with age but may also result from injury, medications, or conditions like diabetes.
During Cataract Surgery, the surgeon removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This restores sharp, focused vision. Doctors usually perform the procedure under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The surgery typically lasts less than 30 minutes.
Most patients notice clearer vision within a few days. Recovery is fast, with little discomfort, and complications are rare. Many people return to normal activities quickly.
By restoring vision, Cataract Surgery makes daily tasks easier and safer, improving overall quality of life. With modern techniques, it is one of the most successful and widely performed surgeries in the world.
