 During cataract eye surgery, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with a plastic one. One method involves using ultrasound to break up the cataract. This is called Phacoemulsification. A small incision is made in the eye and the cataract is removed by suction. An intraocular lens is then implanted. This lens becomes a permanent part of the eye which cant be seen or felt.
Another method of removing the clouded lens is called Extracapsular surgery. A longer incision is made on the side of the cornea and the core of the cloudy lens is removed in one piece. The rest of the lens is removed by suction. Discuss the benefits and risks of each of these procedures with your doctor.
Cataract eye surgery maintains an impressive 98 percent success rate. As it is considered a necessary, rather than cosmetic, surgery, insurance usually covers the cost. The two types of lenses used in cataract surgery are Monofocal and Multifocal.

When eye muscle surgery is performed on children a general anesthesia is required. Adults can usually tolerate local anesthesia. Generally, the procedure is performed in an outpatient hospital in a same day surgery setting.
Prior to eye muscle surgery, the doctors take thorough measurements to determine the degree of muscle imbalance. They will then know how much surgery should be performed on the eye muscle. The first step of the surgical procedure is to separate the eye muscle from the side of the eyeball.

 Cosmetic eye surgery is used to generate a more youthful and refreshed appearance by removing fat, muscle and excess skin from the area around the eyes. The surgery can be performed on either the lower or upper eyelids, or both.
Why Have Cosmetic Eye Surgery?
As you grow older, the skin around your eyes becomes less elastic. You might develop loose skin folds on the upper eyelids and visible wrinkles on the lower lids. Your muscles can also weaken and excess fat cell may cause your eyelids to look baggy.
