What is a Cataract?
A cataract can make activities such as reading and driving difficult
However, good vision can be safely restored with outpatient cataract
surgery. Today, with the development of no stitch/small incision
cataract surgery, many patients are experiencing a faster recovery
and a quicker return to good vision.

Eye With a Cataract
|
A cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eye. Normally, light
passes through the clear lens and is focused onto the retina.
However, as a result of the natural aging process, the lens gradually
becomes cloudy. The cataract or cloudy lens blocks the passage
of light through the eye and causes distorted or blurred vision.
