Cataract surgery: what does it involve?
If left untreated, cataracts can significantly affect daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognising faces. The condition is progressive, meaning it worsens over time, potentially leading to blindness if not addressed. Thankfully, cataract surgery is a highly effective treatment that can restore vision. Leading consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Damian Lake explains the surgery, potential risks and what to expect during the recovery process.
