A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that can gradually affect the quality and clarity of vision. It may make reading, driving, recognising faces or seeing comfortably in low light more difficult.
Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens, or IOL. The choice of treatment and lens is based on your eye health, visual needs and individual circumstances.
At Life Line Eye Centre, cataract care is led by Dr. Javed H. Farooqui, who has undergone fellowship training in complicated cataract surgery and an international fellowship in cataract surgery in Adelaide, Australia.

Q1. What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that can gradually reduce the clarity of vision.

An intraocular lens is an artificial lens implanted in the eye during cataract surgery to replace the natural lens that has become cloudy.
