Lens replacement
Lens replacement is a surgical procedure where a clouded or damaged natural lens inside the eye is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). This process is commonly used to treat conditions like cataracts or refractive errors. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision, gently removes the problematic lens, and inserts the new IOL to restore clear vision. The operation is typically quick, performed under local anesthesia, and can significantly improve eyesight with minimal recovery time.
