Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a procedure that restores good vision by removing the natural lens of the eye that is clouded and replacing it with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts occur when proteins in the lens break down and aggregate, making it cloudy. This cloudiness can cause blurred vision, glare, difficulty seeing at night, and finally lead to serious visual impairment if untreated.
During cataract surgery, advanced techniques are used to remove the cloudy lens carefully, which often involves breaking up the lens before removal using ultrasound energy. Subsequently, an artificial lens is inserted into the eye so as to restore clarity and focusing abilities. The surgery is typically done on an outpatient basis hence you can go home on the same day. The eye is numbed using local anesthesia making the surgery painless and comfortable.
Most patients experience substantial improvements in their vision after a few days with complete recovery occurring over a period of several weeks. Cataract surgery ranks among some of the safest as well as most successful surgical procedures in medicine characterized by high success rates and low rates of complications. If cataracts affect your quality of life, then it’s crucial that you talk to your ophthalmologist about cataract surgery as a recommended way towards achieving clear vibrant eyesight.
