Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a common procedure to treat cataracts, which are cloudy areas in the eye’s lens that lead to decreased vision. This surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia and is considered very safe and effective. Cataract surgery is prevalent among older adults, as cataracts are commonly associated with aging.
