Cataract surgery is a common surgical procedure that is used to treat cataracts, which are a clouding of the lens in the eye that can cause blurry or distorted vision.
This surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis and is a safe and effective treatment option for those with cataracts.
The procedure begins with the administration of local anaesthesia to the eye, which numbs the area and helps to minimize any discomfort or pain during the surgery. The surgeon will then make a small incision in the eye and use specialized tools to remove the clouded lens. In some cases, an artificial lens may be implanted to replace the natural lens and restore clear vision.
After the surgery, patients are typically monitored for a short period of time to ensure that there are no complications or adverse reactions to the procedure. Patients will also be given specific instructions on how to care for their eye after surgery, including how to use eye drops and avoid certain activities for a period of time.
Overall, cataract surgery is a safe and effective treatment option for those with cataracts. Patients can typically resume their normal activities within a few days of the surgery and will experience improved vision in the affected eye.
