Cataract Surgery

What are Cataracts?

A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens. The lens works similar to a camera lens: it focuses light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens also adjusts the eye's focus, letting us see things clearly both at near and distance. However, if the lens gets clouded, the image we see will be blurred.

What are the Symptoms of Cataracts?

• Cloudy or blurry vision
• Colours seem faded
• Glare - headlights, lamps or sunlight may appear too bright
• A halo may appear around lights
• Poor night vision
• Double vision or multiple images are seen by one eye
