Cataract Surgery

A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye. Cataracts cause visual loss and other visual symptoms such as glare. The lens is normally transparent and is located behind the iris, the coloured part of the eye and the pupil. The lens is responsible for focussing light on to the retina which is equivalent to the film in a camera. A cloudy lens or cataract will prevent a clear picture from being formed on the retina and will cause reduced vision.

Surgery of the eyelids and structures around the eye is called oculoplastic surgery.

It should be performed by a surgeon who is specifically trained in ophthalmology and plastics. The speciality includes repositioning eyelids that have become droopy or which are turning in or out.
