Risk of complications when the eye has cataracts
According to experts, cataracts have a high risk of complications and blindness if not detected and treated early. This is also the leading cause of permanent vision loss for millions of people worldwide . Therefore, people with cataracts need to be detected early and treated promptly to minimize the risk of dangerous health complications.
Once a cataract occurs, the patient must undergo surgery to replace the clear lens. Currently, cataract surgery using the Phaco method is considered the most modern method being applied. Phaco uses ultrasound waves to emulsify the cloudy lens, then the doctor replaces the patient with an artificial lens. The lens to be replaced is mainly monofocal or multifocal, so that people can significantly improve their vision after surgery.
