Cataract Procedure

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that restores clear vision by removing a cloudy lens (cataract) and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and typically takes 15-30 minutes per eye.

Procedure Steps:

• A small incision is made in the eye.

• Ultrasound (phacoemulsification) breaks up and removes the cloudy lens.

• A foldable IOL is inserted to restore focusing ability.

Recovery:

• Minimal discomfort with rapid visual improvement within days.

• Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.

• Full recovery typically occurs within a few weeks.

Cataract surgery has a high success rate, significantly enhancing clarity, brightness, and overall vision quality.
