What is Cataract?
Cataract is a condition where the eye's natural lens loses its transparency and becomes cloudy. It usually develops with aging but can also be caused by diabetes, eye trauma, or genetic factors.
Cataract Symptoms
Blurry or hazy vision
Difficulty seeing at night
Sensitivity to light

Treatment Methods
The only permanent treatment for cataracts is surgery. Using the phacoemulsification technique, the cloudy lens is broken up with ultrasonic waves and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
