seemasri Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Surgery is the only course of treatment for cataract where the cloudy lens is replaced by an artificial lens know as Intra Ocular Lens - IOL Earlier method was to cut half circumference of the cornea to bring out the entire lens, later prescribing the thick glasses. This technique was modified by leaving the support intact so that an IOL can be placed and glasses are required though not as thick as in the previous method. Both these methods require a fully ripe lens for easy removal, sutures to close the wound and eye must be made numb through an injection.FOR MORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
