What Is Cataract Surgery?
A cataract is a natural clouding of the eye’s lens that develops with age and leads to blurred or dull vision. Over time, cataracts can affect daily activities such as reading, driving, recognizing faces, or seeing clearly in low light. Cataract surgery is the only effective treatment to restore clear vision once the lens becomes significantly cloudy.
Advanced cataract surgery, also known as phacoemulsification, is a modern, minimally invasive procedure where the cloudy lens is gently broken down and removed, and a clear artificial lens is implanted in its place to restore vision.
Cataract surgery is advised when vision problems start affecting your quality of life and daily routine.
In simple terms:
- The cloudy natural lens is removed
- A clear artificial lens replaces it
- Vision becomes sharper and brighter
Phacoemulsification is the most advanced and widely used cataract surgery technique today. It involves using ultrasound energy to gently break the cataract into tiny fragments, which are then removed through a very small incision.
