Cataract surgery is a surgical procedure performed to treat vision loss caused by clouding of the lens of the eye. The cloudy natural lens is removed. An artificial intraocular lens is placed in its place. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. It allows the patient to regain their vision and perform daily activities more comfortably.
The surgery is generally performed effectively and safely. Different methods are used in cataract surgery. The methods are determined by the patient's condition and the doctor's preference.
It is the most popular laser treatment method. A thin flap is created in the cornea of the eye. The tissue underneath is then reshaped with a laser. The procedure is quick and patients can usually see normally the next day.
It starts with the removal of the epithelial layer on the surface of the cornea. The laser then shapes the surface of the cornea. The healing process takes a little longer, but it may be more suitable for some patients.
Intracapsular cataract extraction is a method rarely used today. In this method, the lens and the surrounding capsule are removed together. Then, the artificial lens is placed in front of the eye. It is a method that requires a large incision. Therefore, the recovery period is long. In addition, the risk of complications is high. It is applied in cases where advanced surgical techniques are not possible.
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is an alternative to traditional phacoemulsification. The laser is used to perform some critical steps during the surgery.
Increased Visual Quality: It eliminates blurry vision, thus providing clear vision.
Development of Color Perception: After the surgery, colors are perceived more vividly and accurately.
Convenience in Daily Life: As vision improves, daily activities can be performed more easily.
Increased Self-Confidence: By correcting the vision problem, people feel more confident and independent.
Restoring Driving Ability: Driving becomes safer with clear visibility.
Improving Eye Health: Removing the cataract reduces the pressure on the eye and may reduce the risk of other eye diseases.
Increasing Quality of Life: Better vision improves overall quality of life and social interactions.
Reduction of Falls and Accidents: As the vision problem is eliminated, the possibility of falling and related accidents decreases.
Increased Business Performance: Increased vision makes it easier to do tasks that depend on vision.
Reduction of Headaches: By eliminating vision problems, eye fatigue and related headaches can be reduced.
The recovery process after cataract surgery is usually rapid, and vision becomes clear within a few weeks. It is normal for the eyes to be slightly blurry, watery, or itchy in the first few days after surgery. During this time, eye drops are used to reduce the risk of infection and inflammation. Rest and eye protection are important, especially in the first week.
During care, strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks. Eye drops prescribed by the doctor should be used regularly and the eye should not be rubbed. Wearing protective glasses in sunny environments also helps the eye heal. It also reduces the risk of complications.
It is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and causes vision loss.
The cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
It usually takes 15-30 minutes.
Local anesthesia is applied, so no pain is felt; there may be mild discomfort afterwards.
Laser treatment results are usually permanent, although some patients may experience age-related vision changes.
