Today's post is going to be on another surgery. The last surgery I discussed was a subdural hematoma surgery. (If you didn't see that post yet, check it out!) Today I'll be talking about cataract surgery.
A cataract is the clouding of the eye's lens (which is usually clear.) This affects a person's vision and is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Cataracts are usually caused by aging, trauma, heredity, smoking, etc. On most occasions, cataract surgery is performed by a specialty trained ophthalmologist.

In today's video, Doctor Sydney Tyson will perform a cataract surgery in 'simple English.' Doctor Tyson literally explains what he is doing throughout the whole video. His explanation is so crisp and clear that you may feel like you can do it yourself without years of med school and residency!
**WARNING: If you are squeamish at the sight of the eye, do not watch this video.**
If you are not squeamish at the sight of the eye, enjoy the video!
