The cause of cataracts is not fully known, but some factors may include:
Symptoms can vary for each person, but they may include:
An IOL is an artificial lens that is implanted in your eye during cataract surgery that will allow light to pass to the retina. An ophthalmologist will help you choose the best lens for you during a consultation.
An LAL is an intraocular lens that can reduce the dependence on glasses and offers a series of five adjustments to customize your vision following surgery. An ophthalmologist will help you choose the best lens for you during a consultation.
