Cataract Surgery

What Is a Cataract?

The natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision. Common with age; also linked to diabetes, injury or prolonged steroid use.

• Blurred or cloudy vision
• Difficulty at night
• Glare sensitivity
• Faded colours
• Frequent spectacle power changes

Cataract Surgery — The Effective Treatment

The cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Usually completed in 15–20 minutes, painless and stitch-less in most cases, as a day-care procedure.
