What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens. This cloudiness can cause vision problems, making it difficult to read, drive or see expressions on people's faces. Cataracts develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes.

What are the common symptoms of cataracts?
- Clouded, blurred, or dim vision.

What causes cataracts?
Cataracts are primarily caused by aging, as proteins in the lens break down and clump together, leading to cloudiness.
Other factors include diabetes, smoking, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet sunlight and certain medications like corticosteroids.
How are cataracts diagnosed?
Your doctor/ophthalmologist will do a full diagnostic analysis of your eye prior to recommending any eye procedure. Doctors have a range of values they must consider to fully understand the unique nature of your eye prior to recommending Z-Cataract. A comprehensive eye examination with diagnostic devices like the Ziemer GALILEI G6 aides doctors in making a precision diagnosis.
How are cataracts treated?
The most effective treatment for cataracts is surgical removal of the clouded lens, replaced with a clear artificial lens (IOL). This is traditionally done with surgical blades, but Ziemer's advanced femtosecond lasers makes Z-Cataract a modern bladeless procedure.
