What is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery aims to treat cataracts, which occur over time as a result of the accumulation of dirt behind the iris of the eye, causing cloudiness and blurry vision and a decrease in the ability to see.
Cataract surgery is the only way to treat cataracts, as it is performed by a device that contains ultrasound, which is inserted through a small incision in the eye behind the cornea to replace the cloudy lens with a new one, and in some cases it is performed by making an incision in the eye And removing the dark lens to replace it.
How to prepare for cataract surgery?
Preparations for the cataract operation include conducting a pre-consultation session, this is so that the doctor can have a clear image about your medical condition and have an idea about your medical history to see if you have any disease that prevent you from undergoing the procedure.
The doctor will also conduct a comprehensive examination of the eyes, including examination of the visual field, intraocular pressure, visual acuity, and examination of the fundus of the eye.
The doctor should be consulted about the medications that the operation is done under local anesthesia so you will need to fast 8 hour before the operation.
You will also need to have someone drive you back home since your vision won't be very clear in the first hours after the operation.
What happens during the caracact operation?
The procedure is simple and very efficient, once you get to the doctor's office the first thing they will be doing is have an examination of your eye.
After that the doctor will use a substance that dilates the pupil, Local anesthesia is done with an anesthetic drop.
The surgeon then makes a small incision in the cornea of the eye with a suitable microscopic device and under microscopic magnification.
The device is inserted through the incision into the lens, where the lens-forming substance melts as a result of ultrasonic vibrations and is absorbed into the device.
A new, clear artificial lens is inserted into the empty lens capsule.
The surgical incision is not closed due to its smallness and its ability to heal itself over time, and the operation takes approximately 30 minutes, and when performing an open cataract operation, a larger incision is made, and then closed by surgical sutures.
What are the types of lenses available for cataract surgery?
