A Cataract is the clouding of the part of your eye known as the crystalline lens. Cataracts are part of the natural aging process affecting a high percentage of people over the age of 60.

Cataracts can also occur due to eye injuries, diabetes, kidney disease or from certain medications. Young children and infants can also be affected.

• Blurring of eyesight, especially in bright light.
• Visual distortion when reading (eg. inability to distinguish between letters).
• Brighter and clearer vision in one eye.

The only treatment for cataracts is surgery and millions of people have benefited from this effective and safe surgical procedure.There have also been numerous advances in Cataract Surgery, from the way the surgery is performed to the type of intraocular lenses available.

The procedure involves the surgical removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with a synthetic clear intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL is permanent, and provides natural peripheral vision and good depth perception.
