Cataract

As we continue to age, the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy and discoloured. When this occurs, light rays passing through the eye become scattered and unfocused, resulting in a blurry image.

Cataract Surgery

In order to see clearly again, the natural cloudy lens needs to be surgically removed and in its place, an artificial Intraocular Lens (or IOL) will be implanted.

Surgery is the only way to go.
