Fast Facts about Cataract surgery (one eye)
Cataract surgery (one eye)

Effectiveness: 98% success rate in achieving clear vision post-surgery.
Duration: 1-2 hours.
Recovery: 1-2 weeks.
Best for: Individuals with cataracts in one eye or those preferring staged surgeries. Suitable for patients with presbyopia needing vision correction.
