Cataract Care & Surgery
What is Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is a highly precise microsurgical procedure and one of the most frequently performed surgeries worldwide. It offers a beacon of hope for those suffering from the clouding of the eye's natural lens, a common condition known as cataracts. During this outpatient procedure, our skilled surgeon, using the finest blades, carefully enters the eye to access and open the lens's capsule where the cataract resides. State-of-the-art ultrasound technology then meticulously breaks down the cataract, allowing for its removal. A clear, artificial lens implant is seamlessly inserted into the capsule, taking the place of the natural lens and restoring clarity to your vision. Typically performed under topical anesthesia, this procedure ensures minimal discomfort and swift recovery, allowing you to return to the beauty of everyday life quickly.
