The McIndoe Surgical Centre offers Cataract Surgery procedures.

Pain free lens clouding of the eye causes cataracts. Generally, cataracts build-up over a long timeline slowly dimenshing the eyesight. If not treated, cataracts could lead to blindness. Eye Surgery for cataract removal can vastly improve vision.

Cataracts cloud the lens in the eye and may reduce your vision. Many people can live with the loss in eyesight and can continue with glasses or contact lenses. Treatment should be considered when the condiotion detiriorates and starts affecting day to day activities such as work, reading or hobbies.

The removal of a cataract is the only way to restore or maintain your vision.

A phacoemulsification is the most common cataract procedure.

Unfortunately, there are is no medication that can help slow down cataracts, nor has any diet been proved to help slow down the onset of the condition. The wearing of glasses can improve the condition in the early time in the development of cataracts, but over time the caratact will probably get worse and at best this is only a temporary fix.
