By age 80 , over half of all Americans have cataracts.
Close to 4 million cataract surgeries are performed in the U.S. every year .
The rate of post-surgery infection from endophthalmitis is less than 0.1% .
Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens of the eye and replaces it with a new lens.
Early intraocular lens technologies were monofocal, and most patients with these lenses chose distance correction and used reading glasses for near tasks.
Recent advances have led to intraocular lenses that offer multifocality the opportunity to have near as well as distance vision, without glasses.
Future offerings are likely to offer improved vision and fewer side effects than those available today .
