Clearer Vision After Cataracts

Like bum knees and crow’s feet, cataracts are the price we pay for getting older. Cataracts form when the normally transparent lens of the eye turns cloudy. At least three out of five people over age 60 will eventually develop them. Today, thanks to a steady march of advances, cataract replacement surgery often gives people better vision than they’ve had in years.
Progress in the field has been nothing short of astonishing, experts say, starting with the development of artificial lenses about 30 years ago.
