At first glance, cataracts may not have any symptoms, but over time, symptoms can include blurred vision, faded colors, sensitivity to light, difficulty seeing at night, and double vision. Most older adults (more than half of Americans over the age of 80) have cataracts or have had cataract surgery. You may not notice the problem at first, but over time, you will experience color blindness or blurred vision. |
How long does cataract surgery take?
Cataract surgery is a procedure that removes the cloudy lens and, in most cases, replaces it with an artificial lens. Contrary to what you might think when you hear the word surgery, cataract surgery is not painful at all because the surface of the eye is completely numbed before the surgery thanks to local anesthetic drops. The effects of these medications last for several hours after the surgery.
