Cataract disease is a blurry, foggy vision that is caused by the loss of transparency of the clear eye lens in our eyes over the years, as if looking through a curtain of fog.
Symptoms of Cataract
- Decreased visual acuity and blurred vision
- Distortion of night vision and light scattering at night
- Increased sensitivity to light
- Frequent change of glasses prescriptions
- Blurring of colors
Treatment of Cataract
The only treatment for cataracts is surgery. With the phacoemulsification method, the natural lens that has lost its transparency and causes the inability to see clearly is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. The choice of intraocular lens then gives us options for using or not using glasses at near or far. Intraocular lenses; It is divided into three types: monofocal (single focus), bifocal (double focus) and tri-focal (three focus). After cataract surgeries using the most advanced technology tri-focal smart lenses, patients achieve clear vision at far, near and intermediate distances. So they don't have to use glasses.
cataract surgery
With the development of technology, cataract surgery is performed without anesthesia, without needles and without pain. The surgery takes between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the hardness of the cataract. After the surgery, the patient's eye is covered with a bandage and sent home the same day. The most important factors affecting the success of cataract surgery are the experience of the physician and the quality of the lens to be placed in the eye. The patient is monitored with medications to be used for 3 weeks after the surgery.
Trifocal (smart) lenses
Smart lens surgery is a method used in people who use glasses for distance and near vision or have low vision due to catarrh. Thanks to these lenses that we surgically place in the eye, they remain in the eye for life. There is no need to remove and install it. With the new Premium smart lens technology, our patients can see clearly at far, near and middle distances, which we call computer distance, without the need for glasses.
Along with a detailed eye examination before the operation, lens selection is made by taking into account the distances that the patient frequently uses in daily life. Very successful results can be achieved with the appropriate patient, appropriate technique and appropriate lens selection.
After the operation, our patients are required to use drops and protect their eyes for 3 weeks. Almost all our patients can return to their home and work lives 3 to 4 days after the surgery.
