Usually with cataract surgery a small incision is made in the eye. The front portion of the thin outer covering of the lens is opened
to allow removal of the cataract inside. The cataract is gently broken up and vacuumed out. Then a folded lens implant is inserted through the small incision
and into the capsule where it unfolds and permanently takes the place of the clouded natural lens. With the cataract removed the new lens implant clearly focuses
light rays onto the retina. The power of the lens implant is selected for your individual eye. However you will probably need glasses to get your best near and far vision.
