What is Cataract?

Cataract is a condition that occurs when the natural lens of the eye, which provides vision and is located behind the pupil, loses its transparency and becomes cloudy. In other words, it leads to impaired vision that can be described as looking through a foggy window.

 

What are the symptoms of cataract?

Gradual impairment of vision; sensitivity to light (glare); double vision; difficulty in reading; impaired night vision; faded or yellowed colors; frequently changing the diopters of your glasses.

Treatment of cataract

Cataract is not a disease that can be treated with medication or glasses. There is not an effective method which can stop the progression of cataract and once the cataract is there it can only be treated with surgery.

Thanks to modern techniques cataract operations in Worldeye nowadays are performed by following a pain-free procedure without using needles and applying local anaesthesia by using eyedrops, patients can return home or to their hotel within a couple of hours. We normally treat both eyes at the same day to reduce travel time, the impact in daily life, and maximize the direct result of the surgery.

Important facts

There are some important points that need to be considered in relation to cataract surgeries. The experience of the doctor and the quality of the lens implanted into the eye directly affect the success of the surgery. When using poor quality lenses during surgery problems may develop in the eye. This may also result in the risk of developing cataract for the second time after a short period. For patients this means risk of another surgery and additional costs.

The surgeons of Worldeye are all very experienced and only work according to the latest standards and only use A-quality lenses produced by ZEISS and Bausch&Lomb along with high quality materials and equipment.
