Cataracts are the number one cause of loss of vision among people over 40 years of age. This happens when the cataract grows without any corrective action. Since they cannot be treated,cataracts are usually removed through surgery. The cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an implant known as intraocular lens. The procedure takes a short time and is often done on outpatient basis.
If the cataracts are in both eyes, the cataract specialist will recommend that you have the surgeries at least a month apart.
