What is Cataract?
Cataracts are cloud like covers over the eye lens.  Over time, the cataract may begin to clump causing vision to impair, causing the passage of light to become more difficult. Cataracts can also be classified as: sub capsular, cataract nuclear and cortical cataracts. These cataracts are also most common with people who are diabetic. Cataracts are often caused by the aging of the eye, or in some cases hereditary. 
Some symptoms are: blurred vision, double vision, poor night vision, and glare.
 
Who can have Cataracts?
Cataracts can become evident at any age. Although most cataracts occurring people ages 60 and over.
 
Cataract Treatment
Cataract eye surgery is one of the safest and most common operations. When symptoms are noticed,
or become severe it is recommended to have the cataracts removed. The cataract is removed in a painless
and easy surgery. İn most cases the patient is awake during the procedure and is completed within a few minutes. 
 
When the cataract is removed, most patients then go forward with an interocular lens (IOL) implant.
Interocular lens (IOL) implant is designed to improve vision after the cataract is removed.
 
How long does recovery take?
 
After the procedure is completed you are required to wear a protective eye pad for 24 hours.

Although it may vary, some patients see clearly immediately after surgery or it is possible to have continued blurred vision 2-3 days after the surgery, which is very normal.Some doctors may also prescribe anti-inflammatory drops prior the the surgery to help the healing process.
