This is a clear tissue located behind the pupil - the dark circular opening in the middle of the iris or colored part of the eye. It works with the transparent cornea, which covers the eye's surface, to focus light on the retina at the back of the eye. When these lenses becomes cloudy, or cataractous, light cannot pass to the retina properly, and vision is blurred and decreased. Surgery to remove diseased lenses is the only effective treatment for cataract. Neither diet nor medications have not been shown to stop cataract formation.
Cataract surgery is now a frequently performed operation in most parts of the world.
More than one million cataract procedures are performed every year, and in the majority of those cases, the diseased tissue is replaced with artificial devices known as IOL's. Our IOL products may be obtained from a distributor serving your geographic area. All rights reserved.
