Cataract Surgery Package
 



Cataracts are caused by the aging of the natural lens of the eye. In this case, a group of pathologic factors and cellular and structural changes in the cornea cause to develop cataracts gradually. As a result, specific proteins within the lens gradually accumulates and ultimately leading to a gradual clouding of the lens. The compression and hardening of the lens causes changes in its power and makes the patient nearsightedness, or sometimes farsightedness.
