About Cataract
Inside our eye, we have a natural lens. This lens acts like a camera. The lens bends light rays that enter the eye in a manner that the rays fall on the retina and help us see clearly.
However, as age increases, the lens loses its transparency and starts to get cloudy. This is the onset of cataract. With the development of cataract, the vision starts to deteriorate, and it is like looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield making things look blurry, hazy or less colorful.
How is cataract treated?
Treatment for cataract is in the form of surgery. At Mumbai Eye Care, Cataract surgery is done using most advanced technology using Centurion Vision System that offers the best outcomes after cataract surgery. We have the best eye doctor for cataract surgery with latest procedures and technology.
