FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should a cataract be operated on?

How is cataract surgery performed?
Cataract surgery entails the utilization of state-of-the-art technological equipment, thus ensuring heightened precision, minimally invasive techniques, expedited surgical duration, and abbreviated recovery periods.
