AbstractCataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. The decision to remove a cataract is determined by the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living, such as reading, driving, and watching television. Cataract surgery also offers the potential of spectacle independence with a wide array of premium intraocular lens options. In addition, with the continuing advances in ophthalmology, patients now also have the option of selecting between traditional approaches and femtosecond laser-assisted procedures. Cataract surgery continues to be an effective and ever-improving procedure for vision restoration.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
