Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or hazy vision. This happens due to protein buildup in the lens, which prevents light from passing through clearly. While aging is the most common cause, cataracts can also develop due to:
✔️ Genetics
✔️ Prolonged UV exposure
✔️ Diabetes
✔️ Smoking
✔️ Certain medications (e.g., steroids)
Cataract surgery is a quick and highly successful outpatient procedure that involves:
1️⃣ Removing the Clouded Lens – Using advanced microsurgical techniques, the cloudy natural lens is gently broken up and removed.
2️⃣ Replacing It with a Premium Intraocular Lens (IOL) – A customized artificial lens is implanted to restore sharp, vibrant vision.
The procedure typically takes less than 15 minutes per eye, and most patients experience noticeable improvement within 24 hours.
