Overview

Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective eye operation that corrects the blurry vision caused by a cloudy lens. As we age, proteins in the eye’s natural lens can clump together, forming a cataract that makes it increasingly difficult to see. During the surgery, this clouded lens is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens (intraocular lens), restoring your vision.
