What is Cataract Eye Surgery?
A method to enhance vision by removing the natural lens which turns hazy and in many cases opaques. In the past (and maybe still in some third world countries the lens was removed in toto. Currently in Los Angeles, USA the most common is to open the natural lens and remove only its contents. Dr. Khanna replaces these degenerated lens fibers with state of the art biocompatible synthetic lens implants. So it is similar to an engine oil change. Out with the bad and in with the good. It is vey important to remember that Dr.K does not like to replace the entire lens. Keeping the outer covering of the lens intact allows him to place the artificial new lens in a natural stable position. If the entire lens were to be removed there would be no support for the replacement implant.Advanced Refractive Cataract Surgery Los Angeles
