Cataract Surgery – Is It Safe?

Cataract SurgeryCataracts are an eye problem characterized by cloudy vision and dulling of color perception. It is the most common eye problem that people face in the latter part of their lives. Cataracts progress at a very slow rate and many times the affected person does not realize that he or she has this problem until checked out by an ophthalmologist.

Old age is the major cause of cataracts. As we age, the lens present in our eye begins to lose its clarity and becomes cloudy due to a buildup of protein. This cloudiness of the lens prevents some light from passing through it, resulting in loss of vision.

The only solution for cataracts is surgery. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is surgically removed and replaced by an artificial intraocular lens.
