But cataracts can affect <\/span><b>young adults<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> too, especially due to factors like <\/span><b>genetics, diabetes, eye injury, or long-term medication use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At <\/span><b>Retina Care Dubai<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Dr. Vasu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regularly treats younger patients, helping them regain clear vision and confidence.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If cataracts are affecting your vision but you\u2019re feeling anxious about the procedure, it\u2019s time to separate <\/span><b>fact from fiction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Myth 1 \u2014 Cataract Surgery Is Painful<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common fears is that cataract surgery will be <\/span><b>painful and uncomfortable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The truth? The procedure is <\/span><b>virtually pain-free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to modern techniques and advanced technology used by <\/span><b>Dr. Vasu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, patients undergo surgery under <\/span><b>local anesthesia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 usually just numbing eye drops.
