Cataract Surgery
A cataract is a common disease that affects the lens of our eye. Just like the lens of a regular camera, the human lens also focusses light on the retina. Generally, the human eye lens contains water and soluble proteins arranged in a specific pattern to make the eye lens transparent.
This transparent nature enables the light to pass through and focus on the retina, picked up by the optic nerve to form an image of what we see daily. As we grow old, our eye lens gets clouded when the proteins start clumping together; this is known as Cataract.

Besides aging, Cataracts can develop from an eye injury, from previous eye surgery, or if you have taken certain medications.
In an eye with a cataract, instead of focusing precisely on the retina, the light scatters throughout the eye. This results in blurry vision, sensitivity to bright lights, glare, etc. As the disease progresses, it leads to a painless, progressive decrease in our vision quality, ultimately resulting in a poor quality of life, constantly interfering with our day-to-day activities like driving, reading, and other regular work.

Cataracts can be treated easily with a simple surgery under local anesthesia, where this clouded lens will be replaced with a new high-quality man-made lens..
