The eye is like a camera, your lens focuses the light on the sensitive part of the eye to enable you to see clearly. When your lens becomes cloudy with age, trauma or disease that is called cataract. Your vision becomes increasingly blurred and may eventually be lost. You may become sensitive to light and unable to read in dim conditions or drive. Cataract surgery is a day case procedure done mostly under local anaesthesia. It involves the removal of your own cloudy lens and implantation of a plastic lens inside your own capsule which will restore your vision and can be tailored to treat any astigmatism as well.
Cataract surgery is typically safe, but possible complications include posterior capsule opacification (a clouding that can be treated with a laser), infection, retinal detachment, and cystoid macular edema (swelling of the retina). Other risks include lens dislocation, increased eye pressure, corneal swelling, and inflammation. Most issues are treatable if caught early, and the surgery generally has a high success rate.
