Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens. At Abdalla Eye Clinic in Alexandria, the visit focuses on confirming the diagnosis, measuring the eye carefully, and choosing the lens option that fits your daily vision needs.
Your cataract assessment reviews vision, eye pressure, corneal health, retinal status, medical history, and detailed lens measurements. Surgery is usually recommended when cataracts begin affecting reading, driving, work, or daily independence.
A cataract is clouding of the natural lens inside the eye that causes blurry or dim vision.
Blurred vision, glare from lights, faded colors, double vision, and difficulty driving at night are common symptoms.
Surgery is recommended when cataracts begin affecting daily activities such as reading, driving, or work.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures worldwide.
Most cataract procedures take around 15-30 minutes.
The procedure is usually painless with local anesthesia or numbing drops.
Many patients notice clearer vision within a few days, with full healing over several weeks.
The cataract does not return, but the capsule behind the lens may become cloudy later and can be treated with laser.
Book an eye exam to understand your cataract stage, lens options, and the safest next step for your vision.
