Cataract is a common eye condition that affects your vision as the lens of your eye becomes cloudy over time. This condition, which is especially common with advancing age, can cause faded colors, poor night vision, and difficulty in daily activities. Cataract surgery is an effective surgical procedure that clears your vision by removing the cloudiness of this lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens (sunilens). GlobalDr. As Eye Clinic, we safely offer this important treatment to our patients with our expert ophthalmologists and state-of-the-art equipment. With personalized treatment plans for each patient, we aim to ensure a rapid recovery and regained clear vision after cataract surgery. We are here to protect your eye health with detailed pre-operative evaluation and regular post-operative follow-up.
Cataract surgery is an important surgical procedure for eye health and is performed very safely and effectively thanks to the technological developments of modern medicine. The surgical process usually consists of these steps:
Before cataract surgery, the ophthalmologist evaluates the patient in detail. During this evaluation, the type of cataract (for example, nuclear, cortical, or subcapsular cataract), its maturity (how developed it is), and the general health of the eye structure are examined. In line with this information, it is determined which surgical technique and artificial lens will be used. Appropriate lenses are selected by taking into account the patient's visual needs and lifestyle.
On the day of surgery, the patient's eye is anesthetized with local anesthesia. This is usually administered as eye drops or injections. The eye area is cleaned with antiseptic solutions and the surgical area is sterilized. The operating environment is carefully prepared for the patient's comfort and safety.
Before surgery begins, the clouded natural lens is removed using a modern technique called phacoemulsification. In this technique, lens fragments are suctioned and removed from the eye using ultrasonic energy. The surgeon performs this procedure by making a very small incision under a microscope. Removing the lens minimizes access to the inside of the eye and accelerates the healing process.
After the natural lens is removed, a specially selected artificial lens is placed into the eye. The artificial lens is predetermined according to the patient's specific needs and measurements. The surgeon finds and fixes the correct position within the eye to place the lens. The artificial lens replaces the function of the eye's natural lens, allowing the patient to achieve clear and focused vision.
In the postoperative period, special precautions are taken to protect and recover the patient's eye health. Eye drops and antibiotics are used if necessary. It is recommended to avoid eye pressure and stay away from heavy physical activities. The recovery process is usually rapid, and within a few days patients can usually return to their daily activities. During postoperative check-ups, the ophthalmologist evaluates the patient's vision recovery and checks for any complications. Additional treatment or follow-up plans are made when necessary.
