Cataract is a progressive clouding of the eye’s natural lens, causing decreased vision, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. It mainly affects people over 60, but can occur earlier due to diabetes, trauma, or certain medications.

At Vision Clinique, cataract surgery is performed using state-of-the-art equipment by experienced surgeons in a safe and comfortable environment.

Comprehensive preoperative assessment:

• Refraction and visual acuity measurement

• Biometry (calculation of implant power)

• Corneal topography

• Evaluation of retina and optic nerve

The medical team will discuss the type of implant suited to your lifestyle: monofocal, toric, or multifocal lenses to correct presbyopia and improve both near and distance vision.

Duration: approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

Main steps:

• 2 to 3 mm micro-incision at the entrance of the eye

• Fragmentation and removal of the clouded lens using phacoemulsification

• Insertion of the intraocular lens into the capsular bag

Postoperative care:

• Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops for 3 to 4 weeks

• Sensation of grittiness or temporary blurred vision in the first few days

• Gradual return to daily activities starting the next day

Expected result: improved vision within the first 24 to 48 hours, with stabilization over a few weeks.

Recommendations:

• Do not rub your eyes

• Avoid swimming and dusty environments for 1 week

• Strictly follow all medical instructions
