- Diabetic RetinopathyDiabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that occurs when high blood sugar levels cause the blood vessels in your retina to bulge, break, and leak fluid. These leaks can develop with no noticeable symptoms, but they eventually cause vision loss over time.
- UltrasoundDuring the surgery, your surgeon will place numbing drops on your eyes before making a small incision that allows them to remove the crystalline lens which is then replaced with an intraocular lens. In some cases, your surgeon may use an ultrasound probe to break up your natural lens to make it easier to extract.
