cataract extraction

Cataract extraction is a surgical procedure to remove a cloudy lens from the eye, known as a cataract, which can cause blurred or impaired vision. During the surgery, the doctor makes a small incision in the eye and uses specialized tools to take out the cloudy lens. Often, an artificial lens is implanted to restore vision. The procedure is usually quick, performed under local anesthesia, and is commonly done on an outpatient basis. Most patients experience improved vision shortly after the surgery, with a relatively fast recovery time.
