This cloudiness results from a chemical change within the eye. Cataract surgery involves breaking up the cloudy lens into small pieces and gently removing them through a small, self-sealing incision. An artificial lens is then inserted into the eye at the end of the surgery. The procedure is carried out under topical anaesthesia.\u00a0<\/p><p>Refractive surgery is when the eye is altered surgically to either reduce or eliminate the need for glasses to see clearly.
