A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend’s face.
Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision.
Common QuestionsCataract surgery is a procedure to remove a clouded natural lens from the eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). This surgery restores clear vision and is one of the most common and safest eye surgeries performed worldwide.
Cataract surgery is recommended when blurry vision, glare sensitivity, or difficulty seeing at night start interfering with daily activities. If left untreated, cataracts can lead to significant vision impairment or blindness.
The most common technique is phacoemulsification, where a small incision is made in the cornea, and an ultrasonic probe is used to break up and remove the cloudy lens. The artificial lens is then implanted to restore clear vision. The procedure is typically quick, painless, and performed under local anesthesia.
