Cataracts are the gradual clouding of the transparent lens inside the eye. It leads to a reduced amount and quality of light passing through the eyes needed for eyesight. Vision becomes blurred, colour perception changes, and light sensitivity increases. The onset of development is barely noticeable, but as the lens becomes increasingly cloudy, symptoms worsen, which can lead to blindness. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision loss in the world, so their effective and modern treatment is a focus of interest.

The only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery. Cataract surgery is the most common procedure in the world, performed in more than 18 million cases annually. You can expect the surgery to fully restore your vision, as long as it is not limited by other existing eye conditions. During eye surgery, the surgeon removes the cloudy lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear artificial lens. There are several options for replacing the lens. A single-focal, bifocal, or trifocal intraocular lens can be used to restore the lens.
