Advanced Cataract Surgery

Cataract Surgery

Overview

Advanced cataract surgery utilises cutting-edge technologies and techniques to provide improved visual results and a high level of customisation. This method strives to offer the best possible vision correction while minimising the need for glasses following surgery.

Procedure

Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (LACS): A femtosecond laser is used to create precise incisions, soften the cataract for removal, and correct astigmatism by making precise corneal incisions.

Advanced IOL Options: Patients can choose from an array of premium intraocular lenses, including:

  • Toric IOLs - Correct astigmatism and provide sharper vision without glasses.

  • ​Multifocal IOLs - Provide multiple focal points for near, intermediate, and distance vision.

  • Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF) IOLs - Provide a continuous range of vision, enhancing both intermediate and distance vision.

  • ​Accommodating IOLs : Designed to move within the eye like the natural lens, providing better focus at various distances.

Benefits

  • Precision and Safety: laser technology allows for improved accuracy and consistent incisions, lowering the risk of complications and improving safety.

  • ​Customised Vision Correction: Advanced IOLs and laser technology offer personalised options to match specific vision needs, offering the potential for greater spectacle independence.

  • ​Customisation:  Enhanced Precision and customisation result to better visual acuity and patient satisfaction.

  • ​Faster Recovery: Laser-assisted treatments offer faster recovery times and reduced postoperative discomfort.

Technology

  • Femtosecond Laser: Enhances surgical accuracy by making precise corneal incisions and lens fragmentation.

  • Advanced Imaging Systems: ​Real-time imaging and mapping of the eye allow precise surgical planning and execution

  • ​Wavefront technology: Measures and corrects optical imperfections for superior visual outcomes.

Post surgery

  • Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up consultations to assess recovery and achieve optimal outcomes.

  • Use of Eye Drops: Anti-inflammatory and antibiotic eye drops to prevent infections and reduce inflammation.

  • ​Activity Restrictions: Patients should refrain from heavy lifting, strenuous activities, and bending over for a few weeks to prevent complications.

Things to consider

  • Eligibility: Advanced treatments and premium IOLs may not be suitable for all patients: depends on eye health, lifestyle, and specific vision needs.

  • ​Cost : Advanced cataract surgery requires premium technologies and lenses, resulting in higher costs. These extra charges may not be covered by insurance.

  • ​Potential Side Effects: includes infection, inflammation, and retinal detachment, as with any procedure.

Final Thoughts

Advanced cataract surgery offers superior visual outcomes along with greater visual freedom by combining advanced technologies with innovative lens alternatives. Advanced cataract surgery is an excellent choice for individuals seeking precise vision correction, enhanced outcomes, customised vision correction, reduced reliance on glasses, improved quality of vision, personalised outcomes, addressing astigmatism, enhanced long-term benefits, better for complex cases, and improved quality of life.
