If you would like to learn about cataracts surgery and the cost of cataracts surgery, the information of this page will be of help to you.
A cataract operation involves the removal of a cataract, a cloudy lens in the eye, and the insertion of a lens implant into the eye. In the majority of cases of cataracts no stitches are required. Cataracts treatment is normally carried out with a local anaesthetic (the patient remains awake). Most patients have a cataract operation as a day case, although some opt to stay in hospital overnight. Cataract surgery does not involve laser treatment.
