Cataract Laser Surgery – An Effective Way To Treat Cataract Cataract is an eye defect that affects the lens and causes clouding of the vision.

Though cataract refers to abnormal vision, it normally occurs in old age people. Over 90% of people above 75 years of age suffer from cataract. Usually, cataract affects both eyes but one eye gets more affected than the other. Cataract does not show any obvious symptoms so that affected people may not even be aware of it. How cataracts can be treated?

One of the most common ways to treat cataract is to change glasses with magnifying glasses and stronger bifocals. But even if this method does not work surgery becomes necessary. The cataract is then treated by removing and replacing the eye lens with artificial lenses known as implant. Cataract can also be treated through surgery and your doctor will explain various options of surgery and how to get prepared for it. Cataract laser surgery is one of the methods of removing cataracts. It is


offered by the best eye hospitals in India. Experiments are still being conducted on cataract laser surgery. In this procedure light is used instead of ultrasound for dissolving cataract.
