Cataract Eye Surgery

What is a Cataract?

 

An eye lens is made up of in the most part by water and protein, and a cataract forms when the protein builds up and no longer allows light to pass through the lens and focus on the retina. This causes a cloud in an area of the lens and is known as a cataract, which can grow over time. 

 

Cataract Surgery Approval

​

Because Cataracts need to be removed using advanced, but commonplace, surgical procedures all Cataract Surgery needs to be performed by a medical doctor who specialises in surgical treatments of the eye called an Ophthalmologist.
