2021-09-17

Your ophthalmologist has diagnosed you with a cataract. This means your eye‘s natural lens has become cloudy, reducing the quality of your vision to a point where you may notice that you are not seeing as clearly as you used to. Cataracts are part of the natural aging process of the eye and are very common.

How is the cataract treated

The longer a cataract remains untreated, the more you will notice a deterioration in your vision. If a cataract spreads significantly, it could result in considerable visual deterioration. This can be resolved by replacing the clouded lens with an artificial intraocular lens.
