What are cataracts and how are they treated?
The cataracts They are a common eye condition that causes an opacity in the lens of the eye, affecting vision. Their appearance is generally the result of aging, although they can also be caused by systemic diseases, trauma or hereditary factors. As the lens becomes cloudy, vision gradually deteriorates, making even daily activities difficult.
The standard treatment for cataracts is surgery, which is one of the most frequent and successful surgical interventions in the world. During this procedure, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. This operation is an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day. Recovery is generally rapid, and vision improves significantly within a short period of time.
