✅Greater precision

Cataracts are a condition where the eye's lens becomes cloudy due to protein degeneration, reducing the amount of light reaching the retina. This can cause abnormal light refraction and improper focus, preventing the retina from fully receiving light.
Patients may experience blurred vision without any inflammation or pain and as the cloudiness of the lens increases, vision progressively worsens. Symptoms vary in severity but typically develop gradually, and most commonly occur in elderly patients.
