Cataract means that the naturally transparent lens of the eye becomes cloudy and has to be exchanged for an artificial one. A cataract operation is one of the most common surgical procedures performed both in Sweden and worldwide. In Sweden alone approximately 80,000 operations are performed annually.
The occurrence of cataract in the population increases with increasing age, but young people, children and diabetics can be affected. During a cataract operation the viscoelastic solution protects the tissues in the eye, keeps the eye moist and ensures that the anterior chamber of the eye does not collapse.
