Cateract Surgery

Cataract Surgery Cataract surgery is a type of eye surgery to remove a cataract (cloudy lens) and improve your vision. Your eye, like a camera, has a lens that focuses light. Your lens is made mostly of water and proteins. As a cataract forms, the proteins naturally start to break down, causing the lens to become cloudy and yellowed. Aging is the most common cause of cataracts. However, certain medical conditions and medications, injuries and previous eye surgeries can also cause cataracts.

A cataract prevents light from properly passing through your lens. As a result, you develop symptoms like blurry vision, halos around bright lights or double vision.

Refrective Surgery

Refractive surgery, a subfield of ophthalmology, is defined as the surgical correction of refractive errors of the human eye. It has become a highly specialized area in the last few years. Ophthalmic surgeons now have a multiplicity of refractive surgical methods at their disposal for the individualized correction of refractive errors. Techniques of refractive surgery on the cornea and lens are now available that reliably fulfill the standard criteria of safety, efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and predictability of the refractive outcome

Refractive errors

are classified as axially symmetrical refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia), astigmatic refractive errors (astigmatism), and presbyopia.
