Cataract Surgery

Cataract is the clouding of the crystalline lens of the eyes of which causes a decrease in the vision. Cataracts distort and prohibit the necessary light from reaching the back of the eye, thus, impairing the eye’s ability to focus. On the other hand, some cataracts cause no problems in an individual’s vision for a long time (cloudiness and blurriness can be temporarily treated with stronger bifocals, proper eyeglasses and for some, magnifying lenses) but as it mature the opacity in the lens increases causing a gradual decrease in the vision. Loss of vision or blindness can sometimes result to these.
