Cataract is the major cause of reversible blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Individuals with cataract can maintain a visual acuity of 20/20. However, over a period, may see cloudy patches in their field of vision that can become larger if the cataract worsens. Cataract can affect one or both eyes. The rise in the number of older people with cataract and evolving surgical techniques such as the use of IOLs and femtosecond lasers will boost the demand for cataract devices. Early detection, regular eye examinations, and treatment can preserve a person's eyesight. In addition, using femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery produces better refractive results and precision.
