What does cataract mean?
Cataract is an eye condition that occurs when the natural lens of the eye loses its transparency. Although it is commonly associated with the aging process, cataracts can also develop due to trauma, certain medications, genetic factors, and other health issues. The treatment for cataracts is surgery. Cataract surgery is a successful operation that significantly improves the patient’s quality of life.
What are the symptoms of cataracts? / How does cataract affect vision?
The symptoms of cataracts can vary from person to person and may worsen as the disease progresses. However, generally, the common symptoms of cataract can include:
If you experience any of these symptoms or a combination of them, it is strongly recommended to consult an ophthalmologist.
What happens when you have cataracts?
When cataracts develop in the eye, the natural lens of the eye loses its transparency, leading to vision problems.
The impact of cataracts on vision can vary from person to person once it develops in the eye. This variation depends on the type, size, and degree of maturation of the cataract. However, if left untreated, cataracts can result in vision loss and significantly affect one’s quality of life. Cataracts can be treated with surgical intervention.
Cataracts can be detected through a routine eye examination. Early diagnosis and treatment can help minimize vision loss in patients.
Cataract surgery with femtosecond laser is a surgical method developed in recent years for cataract treatment. Traditional cataract surgery involves the surgeon removing the cloudy natural lens using ultrasound energy and replacing it with an artificial lens. The femtosecond laser procedure, on the other hand, allows the surgeon to perform certain maneuvers that would normally be done during surgery before the surgery itself, without direct contact with the eye and in a controlled manner.
What are the advantages of cataract surgery with femtosecond laser?
Cataract surgery with femtosecond laser provides cataract patients with advantages such as increased accuracy, safety, and quick recovery. However, like any surgical procedure, this method has its risks and benefits. Therefore, cataract patients should first undergo a comprehensive eye examination to determine the lens they will use for the rest of their lives. Afterward, the examination results should be evaluated by an expert ophthalmologist, taking into consideration factors such as the patient’s age, profession, and even hobbies to make a lens selection.
Every patient is unique, and the treatment plan should be tailored to individual needs.
Phacoemulsification (PHACO) is a widely used and highly effective surgical procedure for cataract treatment. This method involves the removal of the cloudy natural lens and the placement of an artificial lens that is compatible with the eye’s structure.
One of the most commonly asked questions by cataract patients is whether to choose the Femtosecond laser method or the Phaco method. In reality, both are frequently performed procedures. However, it is important to evaluate the results of the patient’s examination and follow the guidance of the ophthalmologist. In other words, which method is suitable for the patient can be determined based on the patient’s eye structure and examination review.
Phaco surgery is a highly successful and reliable method. The recovery process is fast, and many patients can quickly return to their normal daily activities after surgery. However, like any surgical procedure, Phaco surgery has some risks, such as the risk of infection. Therefore, if considering Phaco surgery for cataract treatment, a detailed evaluation should be conducted with an eye doctor to determine the treatment options.
