A cataract is the natural clouding of the lens in the eye.<\/p>\n

Most frequently it is due to age-related changes but this can be brought on at an earlier age due to trauma or other medical conditions such as diabetes. It may also be genetic occurring at a younger age. It is estimated that 30% of people aged over 65yrs have a visually disabling cataract.<\/p>\n

It causes blurred vision, glare, difficulty with reading and can be easily recified with cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure and involves removing the human lens and replacing it with a man-made intraocular lens (IOL).<\/span><\/p>\n

In femto-second cataract surgery, the laser makes precise corneal incisions, a perfectly round and centered opening (capsulorrhexis) in the lens and fragments the cataractous lens. The lens fragments are removed easily with less energy required. Ths allows for perfect IOL centration which is essential with modern premium lens implants which require the lens to sit in the centre of the eye \/ capsular bag in order to optics to work correctly. Lens technology is constantly evolving and a thorough discussion of all the different lens options, their pros and cons will be had with Mr Maycock<\/a> to determine which is the most appropriate lens for your lifestyle and needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3072,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"template":"","class_list":["post-2982","treatment","type-treatment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFS-Cataract
