Enhanced Cataract Surgery
Cataract Surgery
Overview
Enhanced cataract surgery builds on the foundation of standard cataract surgery, providing more choices and technological advances to improve visual outcomes and eliminate the need for spectacles after surgery
Procedure
Phacoemulsification: Similar to standard surgery, this procedure includes making a small incision in the cornea, breaking up the cloudy lens with ultrasound, and removing it.
Enhanced IOL Options: Patients can select premium IOLs instead of standard monofocal lenses like
-
Toric IOLs - Correct astigmatism and provide sharper vision without the need for glasses.
-
Multifocal IOLs - Provide clear vision at multiple distances(near, intermediate, and far), reducing the need for reading glasses.
-
Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF) IOLs - Provide a continuous range of vision, improving intermediate and distance vision.
Benefits
-
Improved Vision Quality: Enhanced IOLs provide improved vision quality, treating issues like astigmatism and presbyopia (age-related difficulty seeing close things).
-
Reduced Dependence on Glasses: Patients often experience a significant reduction in their need for glasses or contact lenses for daily activities.
-
Customisation: The choice of different IOLs allows for tailored treatment plans based on the patient's lifestyle and vision requirements.
Post surgery
-
Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring recovery, similar to standard surgery procedures.
-
Use of Eye Drops: Prescribed to prevent infections and relieve irritation.
-
Activity Restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activities, and bending over for a few weeks to prevent complications.
Things to consider
-
Eligibility: Premium IOLs may not be suitable for all individuals; depends on eye health, lifestyle, and vision needs.
-
Cost :Enhanced cataract surgery is more expensive than standard surgery, and the additional cost of premium IOLs and advanced technologies may not be covered by insurance
-
Potential Side Effects: As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, inflammation, or retinal detachment, though these are rare.
Final Thoughts
Enhanced cataract surgery is a perfect option for those who prioritise optimal vision correction and are willing to invest in advanced technology for superior outcomes with customised vision correction, reduced dependence on glasses, long-term benefits, addresses astigmatism, tailored to your needs, and improved quality of life.
Technology
-
Advanced Diagnostic Tools: Pre-surgical assessments use advanced imaging technologies to map the eye and plan the surgery with greater precision.
-
Precision Instruments: Enhanced surgery may involve the use of more precise surgical instruments and techniques for improved outcomes.
