This procedure is safe and painless. After phacoemulsification, the doctor will place an artificial lens (IOL) so that the eye can see more clearly.
“Cataracts attack the lens of the eye which can reduce vision function slowly without pain, for example, ghosting vision when looking far away, even color vision fades like being covered in fog and some complain of glare when looking in bright places,” he explained.
