Cataract
What is Cataract?
Your eyes have a crystalline lens that is normally transparent and helps focus light on the retina, similar to a movie screen. This lens sits inside a thin capsular bag. With age, the lens undergoes changes that cause it to lose transparency and become opaque. This clouding of the lens is called cataract. The opacity prevents light from passing through properly, resulting in blurred vision.
How is it treated?
The standard treatment is cataract surgery, typically performed through phacoemulsification. Using an operating microscope, surgeons make a tiny incision near the cornea. A thin ultrasound probe is inserted into the capsular bag to break up and remove the cloudy lens using ultrasonic vibrations. After removing the cataract, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the same capsular bag to restore focusing ability.
Our advanced cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens. With quick recovery time and personalized treatment plans, we help restore clear vision and improve quality of life.
