	cataract surgery, Cole Eye Institute cataract surgery
		A cataract is a cloudy or opaque area that appears on the lens located directly behind the iris inside the eye.
		Cataracts that obscure vision should be removed as early as possible, even in the first few days or weeks of life, to allow a clear retinal image.
		In patients with unilateral or asymmetric cataracts (one cataract is more severe than the other), it is necessary to patch the good eye to stimulate vision in the eye that had the cataract surgery.

	Cataract Surgeon Q&As - AllAboutVision.com
		Again we were hesitant to have the cataract surgery, due to the experience with the other eye, although the specialist insisted the laser probably decreased the risk of detachment, since it was done prior to removal of the cataract.
		Whether or not you are ready to have cataract surgery depends on your level of vision, the existence of a cataract causing your decrease in vision and whether this level of vision is affecting your normal daily activities.
		Cataract surgery is performed as an outpatient in a free-standing ambulatory surgery center, doctor's office surgicenter or hospital outpatient department.

	Guide to Eye Cataracts and Cataract Surgery
		A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil.
		This cataract forms in the nucleus, the center of the lens, and is due to natural aging changes.
		When a nuclear cataract first develops it can bring about a temporary improvement in your near vision, called "second sight." Unfortunately, the improved vision is short-lived and will disappear as the cataract worsens.

	Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today
		By contrast, after unilateral cataract surgery, a cataract remains in the patient’s contralateral eye, which continues to have hazy visual acuity and may also have a very different refractive error.23 A number of studies have demonstrated that second-eye cataract surgery improves patients’ visual function and vision-related quality of life significantly more than first-eye cataract surgery.
		My unilateral surgical patients tend to postpone their decision until after surgery on their first eye, at which time, monovision may not remain a viable option if their nondominant eye was already corrected for distance (I usually treat the worse cataract first, not necessarily the dominant eye).
		After assisting with surgery on the patient’s first eye, the nurse changed her gloves and prepared the second tray, while the author removed the speculum from the patient’s first eye and prepared his second eye.

		The sluices of the canals are opened, and the waters are led first to the higher level lands nearer the banks, then to the lower lands, for in its general configuration the soil to be submerged, as the subsoil, is convex -- not concave as in the case of ordinary rivers.
		Those groups were probably first obtained by the fusion of several religious centres into one, the number three being suggested by the human family, or possibly by the family triad Osiris, Isis, and Horus, of the Osiris cycle.
		In some cases the second element was a mere grammatical duplicate of the first, as Ament, wife of Amen (Amon), and was considered as one with it; it was then natural to identify the son with his parents, and so arose the concept of one god in three forms.

	Ophthalmology Management
		An exception is made when cataract surgery is performed primarily to permit better view of the posterior segment for retinal evaluation or surgery.
		Accordingly, where the only diagnosis is cataract(s), Medicare does not routinely cover testing other than one comprehensive eye examination (or a combination of a brief/intermediate examination not to exceed the charge of a comprehensive examination) and an A-scan or, if medically justified, a B-scan.
		In group practices, cataract patients may be evaluated by more than one practitioner, starting with an optometrist or a medical ophthalmologist and finishing with a surgeon.
