Question: What are the layers of the lens and which are removed in cataract surgery?
Answer: The lens has three layers. The outer capsule, middle cortex, and the central nucleus. In cataract surgery, a hole is made in the front capsule, and the inner cortex and nucleus are removed. The new implant is placed inside the remaining capsular bag.

Sir, why the implant does not move inside the capsule? What holds it?
