Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a vital ophthalmological procedure designed to restore vision impaired by a cloudy lens (cataract). Conducted under local anesthesia, the surgery involves a small incision through which the clouded lens is gently broken up and removed using advanced ultrasound technology called phacoemulsification.

Following the removal of the cataract, a synthetic intraocular lens (IOL) is typically implanted to replace the natural lens, significantly enhancing focus and visual clarity. Patients often experience rapid improvement in vision post-surgery, accompanied by minimal discomfort and a brief recovery period. Widely regarded as safe and effective, cataract surgery remains one of the most successful medical interventions globally, with millions of procedures performed annually.
