When you see someone who has a cataract, they will typically have a gray or blue tint to their eye where the pupil is (the part that normally appears black). Cataracts can be caused by many things, including trauma and even reactions to certain medications. However, cataracts develop naturally with age (partially because of exposure to ultraviolet light), and that's why most people who have cataracts tend to be 60 or older.

The ICL is a small, injectable lens that is inserted through a tiny, 3mm incision that does not usually require sutures. The procedure is performed on one eye at a time and is a five-minute procedure. The ICL provides predictable outcomes and excellent quality of vision. If there are major changes in one's vision, the ICL can easily be removed and replaced. It is designed to remain in place within the eye without maintenance.
