Cataract Surgery Becoming More Common in US
Next to LASIK, cataract surgery is the most common operation in America.
Two-and-a-half million people will have cataracts removed this year. And the latest technology promises to deliver more than 20-20 vision.
The entire procedure normally takes less than 10 minutes and the patient spends less than two hours at the hospital. He will also be able head home seeing well, without an eye patch.
The new lenses are also improving driving safety with sharper contrast.
