Cataract
Surgery
Cataract surgery at our clinic is a safe and effective way to restore clear vision by removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a new, artificial one. Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure a smooth procedure and a fast recovery, helping you see clearly again.
What is a Cataract?
​​
A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens, which can lead to reduced vision. Normally, the lens is clear and focuses light onto the retina, allowing us to see clearly. However, as we age, proteins in the lens can clump together, leading to cloudiness. This clouding obstructs light from passing through effectively, resulting in blurred or hazy vision.
​
Cataracts are a prevalent age-related condition and a major cause of vision loss and blindness worldwide. They typically develop gradually, with the rate of progression varying among individuals. In the early stages, cataracts may not cause significant vision changes, but as they progress, they can substantially affect visual clarity.

Catarct Surgery
If cataract symptoms begin to interfere with your daily activities, cataract surgery is the most effective treatment option to alleviate these issues. This procedure is also effective for treating congenital cataracts.
