- CataractsYour eye has a clear lens, just like a camera. Age, injury, or other factors can cause this lens to become clouded, into what is known as a cataract. Normally, a clear lens provides clear vision. A cataract lens blurs, dims, discolors, and clouds one’s vision. Surgery removes this cataract, and replaces it with a small, clear plastic lens.
- Cataract SurgeryFor most cases, a small incision is made in the front part of the eye, and the cataract lens is removed using a special ultrasonic probe. The bag holding the lens is left intact. The new lens is emplaced in this bag. Sometimes, following cataract surgery, the lens bag can develop opacities behind the implanted lens, called a secondary cataract. Laser treatment at a later date creates a hole in the bag to restore clear vision.
