The decision for cataract surgery is based on when visual difficulties interfere with normal activities of daily living, like driving, reading, work, or hobbies. And it cannot be improved with glasses. Cataract surgery involves removing the eye’s clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial version called an intraocular lens (IOL). The method used most often is phacoemulsification with intracapsular IOL insertion. It usually takes only about 15-30 minutes to perform. The wound is smaller than 3 mm., so there will be no stitches. The wound will completely heal itself in 1 month. And the IOL lasts a lifetime.
