Cataract Surgery

What is a Cataract? How is Cataract Surgery Performed?

CataractCataracts are a vision loss condition that occurs when the lens of the eye loses its transparency and becomes cloudy. This condition, which usually develops with age, reduces vision quality over time and can interfere with daily life. The only definitive solution for cataract treatment is surgical removal of the cloudy natural lens and replacement with an artificial one.

What is Cataract?

The eye contains a natural lens that allows light to clearly hit the retina. This lens can lose its transparency due to aging, trauma, certain medications (such as cortisone), or systemic diseases (such as diabetes). As a result, vision becomes blurry, colors appear faded, and night vision becomes difficult. Cataracts progress over time and, if left untreated, can lead to severe vision loss.

Symptoms of Cataracts

  • Blurred or hazy vision

  • Sensitivity to light

  • Decreased night vision

  • Fading or yellowing of colors

  • double vision

  • Frequent changes in eyeglass numbers

If one or more of these symptoms are present, cataracts can be diagnosed through an eye examination.

  • Eye drops reduce the risk of infection and promote healing.

  • The need for glasses may decrease depending on the type of lens worn.

Full visual clarity is usually achieved within 1 week.

  • Colors are perceived more vividly and clearly

  • Dependence on glasses may decrease (especially with multifocal lenses)

  • It is a safe, fast and painless procedure.

  • Quality of life increases, daily activities become easier

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Although cataracts usually occur in older ages, they can also develop in teenagers and children due to congenital causes, trauma, or medication use.

No. The surgery is performed painlessly using local anesthesia drops. The patient will not feel any pain during the procedure.

No, the removed natural lens will not return. However, a membrane called a "secondary cataract" may develop at the back of the eye. This can be permanently treated with a simple laser procedure.

There are single-vision (monofocal), multifocal, or toric lenses that correct astigmatism. Your eye doctor will determine which lens is right for you based on your eye shape, lifestyle, and expectations.

This depends on the type of lens worn. Multifocal or toric lenses generally reduce the need for glasses for distance and near vision. However, some patients may require reading glasses.
