FAQ
Unfortunately, without cataract surgery, there is no way to get rid of them. Although some ophthalmologists are looking into alternatives, only cataract surgery can currently cure your cataracts.
Cataract surgery has a quick recovery time. Any discomfort or soreness should subside within a few days. Full recovery could take anywhere from four to six weeks, depending on the nature and extent of your cataracts, as well as your physiology and ability to heal.
A multifocal lens divides the light entering each eye into near and far focus. Each eye’s contrast is reduced as a result. Multifocal lenses are only utilised if they can be implanted in both eyes and are best for persons who have no additional eye disease.
The most recent and most advanced method of cataract surgery is laser-assisted cataract surgery. As a pre-treatment to “soften” cataracts, many ophthalmologists prefer laser cataract surgery to traditional cataract surgery.
Eat three servings of 100 percent whole grains to prevent cataracts. Amaranth, brown rice, bulgur, buckwheat, millet, oatmeal, popcorn, sorghum, quinoa, rye, and wheat are examples of this.
A Cataract Phaco Surgeon is an ophthalmologist specialized in performing phacoemulsification (phaco) surgery for removing cataracts—using ultrasound to emulsify the cloudy lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens
A Lasik Refractive Surgeon is a specialist ophthalmologist trained in performing LASIK and other corneal refractive procedures to correct vision by reshaping the cornea and reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Most patients notice improved vision within 24 to 48 hours. Mild irritation or specks in vision may persist briefly. Full stabilization of vision can take weeks to months, depending on individual healing.
Phaco cataract surgery is performed under local or topical anesthesia, so patients usually feel little to no pain. Your Cataract Phaco Surgeon ensures maximum comfort during the procedure.
Most Lasik Refractive Surgeons recommend LASIK after 18 years of age, provided your eye power has been stable for at least 1 year.
