OVERVIEW
What is cataract surgery all about?
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. A cataract causes the lens to become cloudy when it is typically clear. Cataracts can eventually affect vision.
Cataract surgery is performed by an eye doctor, also called an ophthalmologist. It’s performed on an outpatient basis, which means you don’t have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery is very common and is generally a safe procedure.
