Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a cataract and how does it develop?

A. A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in your eye. It develops when proteins in the lens break down and clump together, causing the lens to become cloudy and affecting vision.

Q. How long does cataract surgery take?

A. Cataract surgery typically takes 15-30 minutes per eye. It's usually performed as an outpatient procedure, and you can go home the same day.

Q. What is the success rate of cataract surgery?

A. Cataract surgery has a very high success rate of over 98%. Most patients experience significant improvement in vision and quality of life after surgery.
