Cataract surgery is a type of optical surgery that involves the removal of the eye's natural lens, which has become cloudy due to cataract formation. The procedure is typically performed by an ophthalmologist, and involves the use of a phacoemulsification machine to break up the cataract and then remove it from the eye. The procedure is usually followed by the insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) to replace the natural lens. Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures performed in the world. It is a safe and effective way to restore vision and improve quality of life. The procedure is typically covered by insurance and is often performed on an outpatient basis.
