A catarata é um dos motivos mais comuns para a diminuição da qualidade da visão, afetando a maioria das pessoas à medida que envelhecem. É também a causa mais comum de cegueira a nível mundial.
Frequentemente, os pacientes apenas se apercebem de que têm cataratas quando a visão turva começa a prejudicar drasticamente o seu quotidiano. Caso não seja tratada, a catarata pode até conduzir à perda total da visão. Felizmente, é possível tratar a catarata de forma simples e eficaz através de um procedimento de rotina seguro. A substituição do cristalino enturvado devido a uma catarata por uma Lente Intraocular (IOL) é atualmente efetuada mais de 20 milhões de vezes por ano a nível mundial1.
