Cataract Surgery in Egypt

Cataracts resemble cloud like covers over the eye lens. Over time, the cataract may begin to cluster causing vision to impair and ultimately causing the passage of light to become more difficult.

Cataract surgery is executed to eliminate “cataracts”, cloudy spots on your eye’s natural lens, which impede its vision over time. The surgery is done to replace the faulty, “cloudy” crystalline eye lens with an intraocular lens (IOL) implant.

Cataracts can also be classified as: sub capsular, cataract nuclear and cortical cataracts. These cataracts are most common with people who are diabetic. Cataracts are often caused by the aging of the eye, or hereditary in some cases.
