Refractive Cataract Surgery
Our eye works a lot like a camera. In order for us to see clearly, the light has to be focused by a lens. We are all born with a lens inside our eye that does this job for us and in early life it is crystal clear.

What is Refractive Cataract Surgery
The lens in our eyes plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina, which is responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain. The lens is normally clear and flexible, allowing it to change shape to adjust the focus, similar to the way a camera lens works.
However, as we age, changes can occur in the lens that lead to the development of cataracts. A cataract refers to the clouding of the lens, which can result in blurry vision and difficulty seeing clearly.
