If you are having a cataract eye disease, you eye lenses get damaged as they turn opaque. Opaque lenses are unable to capture pictures from the surroundings and pass them to the retina. These pictures are either not visible at all or they tend to appear blurry. At such stages, you require a cataract surgery.

Cataract surgery involves replacing of your affected eye lens with an artificial one. In a cataract unifocal lens surgery, the type of lens used for replacement is of unifocal nature. Unifocal lens set a fixed focal length for one direction. Doctors prefer using intraocular unifocal lens, where one focal point is set for near focus, for mid-distance focus, or for distant focus.

Reasons why you should go for a cataract surgery may include:

• Blurry or clouded vision
• Your night vision is below average

Do not perform any activities that can put a strain on your eyes till you recover completely. Your doctor will prescribe some medicines and eye drops that will help in the healing process.
