Prevent blindness
Cataracts account for more than 50% of the causes of blindness globally. When suffering from cataracts, the amount of protein in the eye will gather in clusters, blocking light from reaching the retina. It causes the patient to gradually lose vision until completely blind. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 65 million people are suffering from cataracts, causing severe vision loss of up to 80%. Therefore, surgery to replace cloudy lenses is really necessary to protect the patient’s vision.
High success rate

Good visual quality
Many patients are afraid of surgery, so they have the mentality of waiting until their vision is seriously impaired, affecting their daily life and life, before having surgery. However, the longer the disease progresses, the lower the prognosis for surgery. To restore maximum vision, patients should see a doctor as soon as they detect signs of cataracts and follow the ophthalmologist’s instructions.
Some telltale signs of cataracts are blurred vision, reduced night vision, a feeling of glare when looking at light sources, reduced ability to perceive colors, halos appearing everywhere, nearsightedness progresses after age 40, double vision, triple vision, etc.
