What are cataracts?

Dr Matthew Russell explains cataracts and how they occur

A cataract occurs when the naturally clear lens inside the eye loses its clarity and loses the capacity to clearly focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye.

An excellent place to start, when you’re thinking about cataract surgery, is to call us and make an appointment for an assessment.
