Cataracts generally develop with ageing. Most ageing lenses suffer this vision discomfort; as
the eye protein starts to break down and clump to form cloudy patches on the lens. This
cloudy formation on the lens weakens the vision of the patient and may even lead to
permanent blindness on delay or mere ignorance.
To relieve the patient from this vision discomfort, ophthalmologists perform cataract surgery,
which hardly takes an hour. In this painless process, an ophthalmologist replaces the cloudy
natural lens with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). While maximum cases
lead to successful outcomes, very less complain about seeing wavy lines after cataract
surgery.
