A catarata é uma das razões mais comuns para a diminuição da qualidade da visão e afeta a maioria das pessoas à medida que envelhece. É também a causa mais frequente de cegueira em todo o mundo.
Os pacientes muitas vezes não percebem que têm catarata até que a visão turva começa a prejudicar drasticamente sua rotina. Se não for tratada, a catarata pode até levar à perda total da visão. A boa notícia é que uma catarata pode ser tratada de maneira fácil e eficaz com um procedimento seguro e de rotina. A substituição do cristalino natural opacificado pela catarata por uma lente intraocular (LIO) é atualmente realizada mais de 20 milhões de vezes por ano em todo o mundo.1 Saiba mais sobre as tecnologias modernas de tratamento de catarata.
