Cataract Surgery: Clearer Vision, Enhanced Quality of Life

Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure to restore vision impaired by cataracts—a condition where the eye's lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or distorted sight. When cataracts start interfering with everyday activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces, surgical intervention becomes essential. YNB Health Care offers advanced cataract surgery options to provide patients with improved vision and a better quality of life.

What Is Cataract Surgery and How Is It Performed?

Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This outpatient procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and a short recovery period.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is used to numb the eye, ensuring a painless experience.
Incision: A tiny incision is made in the cornea using either traditional surgical tools or a laser.
Lens Removal: The affected lens is broken into small fragments using ultrasonic waves (phacoemulsification) or a laser, then gently removed.
IOL Implantation: A clear, artificial lens is inserted to replace the removed lens.
Healing: The incision typically self-seals, eliminating the need for stitches.

Advanced techniques such as laser-assisted cataract surgery offer enhanced precision, reducing risks and recovery time.
