What is Cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery refers to the surgical procedures to remove cataracts and replace the natural lens of your eye with an artificial one. A cataract is a hard layer of protein that gets accumulated in the eye causing blurry or cloudy vision. Most cataract surgeries are done on an outpatient basis which means the patient does not require more than 1-day hospitalization. Patients who have difficulty driving at night or face vision problems often benefit from cataract surgery.

What is a Cataract?

A ‘cataract’ is nothing but an eye haziness problem that intensifies gradually due to age when the protein fibers in our eyes accumulate to form a lump for chronic diseases like diabetes or external/internal injuries etc. The cataract layer prevents proper vision as the light cannot get pass through the eyes because of the previously formed lumps.
