What is Cataract Eye Surgery?

Cataracts resemble cloud like covers over the eye lens. Over time, the cataract may begin to cluster causing vision to impair and ultimately causing the passage of light to become more difficult.

 

Cataract surgery is executed to eliminate “cataracts”, cloudy spots on your eye’s natural lens, which impede its vision over time. The surgery is done to replace the faulty, “cloudy” crystalline eye lens with an intraocular lens (IOL) implant.

 

Cataracts can also be classified as: sub capsular, cataract nuclear and cortical cataracts. These cataracts are most common with people who are diabetic. Cataracts are often caused by the aging of the eye, or hereditary in some cases.

 

A Good Candidate for Cataract Eye Surgery

Cataracts can become evident at any age. Although most cataracts occur with individuals aged 60 and over. Cataract eye surgery is one of the safest and most common operations. When symptoms are noticed, or become severe it is recommended to have the cataracts removed.

 

Some symptoms are: blurred vision, double vision, poor night vision, and glare.

 

Treatment of Cataract Eye

The cataract is removed in a painless and tranquil surgery. İn most cases the patient is awake during the procedure and it is completed within a few minutes.

 

When the cataract is removed, most patients go forward with an intraocular lens (IOL) implant. Intraocular lens (IOL) implant is designed to improve vision after the cataract is removed.

 

Recovery from Cataract Eye Surgery

After the procedure is completed patients are required to wear a protective eye pad for 24 hours.

 

Although it may vary, some patients see clearly immediately after surgery or it is common to have continued blurred vision 2-3 days after the surgery. Some doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory drops prior to the surgery to help the healing process.

 

Costs of Cataract Eye Surgery

The cost of cataract surgery can vary depending on the type of treatment you need, and the surgeon you choose. In the USA and UK, cataract surgery generally costs around $3,000 - $4,000 or £1500-£2200.
