It's part of the surgery to fix cataracts. Each eye has a lens -- a window made of clear protein and water that sits behind the pupil. The lens focuses light onto the retina, which sends it to ...

The protein in the lens starts breaking down around the age of 40 years. Age-related cataracts may slowly develop over time. According to the National Eye Institute, over half of Americans ages 80 ...
