Cataract and Refractive Surgery

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurred vision and difficulty seeing at night. It is often age-related but can also result from other factors. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and usually replacing it with a clear artificial lens, restoring clear vision. Refractive surgery corrects vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea (the eye's front surface) using lasers. Both procedures enhance eyesight, improve quality of life, and are commonly performed in ophthalmology to help individuals regain clearer vision.
