The eye’s natural lens is replaced with a plastic artificial lens, which becomes permanent. The good news is that the artificial lens doesn’t require any care and can improve your vision in a significant way.

Typically, cataract surgery in NYC takes less than an hour to complete and is an outpatient procedure.
