Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a procedure performed to remove a cloudy lens from the eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens, restoring clear vision. Cataracts are usually caused by the natural aging process or factors like injury, genetics, or certain medications. During the surgery, the ophthalmologist makes a small incision in the eye, uses advanced techniques like phacoemulsification to break up and remove the cloudy lens, and then inserts a new artificial lens to improve vision.
