What are cataracts?
A cataract forms when your natural lens inside your eye becomes opaque. This happens more commonly due to natural aging, but it can happen sooner due to other reasons, such as medications, trauma or other diseases that are related with cataract forming.
When a cataract is forming you might experience loss of vision, light distortion, glare and difficulty driving at night. Some types of cataracts can be related to other serious eye problems, such as high intraocular pressure and rapid and irreversible loss of vision.
What does lens replacement surgery involve?
Not at all. If you close your eye, and you touch firmly over your eyelid, you will get a very approximate idea of what you will feel during the procedure: just pressure changes, and some water around your eye.
What does the postoperative care involve?
After your treatment we will place transparent eye-shields to protect your eyeballs. You will use drops for 4 weeks, and we will give you instructions about returning back to work or to do your normal daily activities. During the first days it will be normal if you feel a bit of grittiness, and if your vision is still not clear. Most patients recover their vision fully within the first week. Please note that the post-operative care might be different from one patient to another.
Your treatment can be done within 1 to 2 weeks from now.
