For us to see clearly, and have a comfortable eye, it is not enough for the eye itself to be healthy. We must also have an excellent tear film. The tear film forms a thin protective layer over the surface of the eye. 

The eye functions similarly to a camera, requiring a lens to focus light in order for us to see clearly. When we are born, our eye has a crystal-clear lens that performs this function, but as we age, the lens can become cloudy, resulting in light blockage and blurriness.

The procedure is typically a fast, outpatient surgery that involves breaking down and
removing the cataract through a micro incision.
