Surgery is an internationally recognized method to effectively cure cataracts. The mainstream surgical procedure is cataract ultrasound emulsion aspiration combined with folded IOL implantation.
After the diagnosis of cataract, depending on the degree of impact on vision or the patient’s own condition (whether it is combined with fundus disease or glaucoma), conservative treatment or surgical treatment can be chosen. Conservative treatment such as eye drops cannot cure cataract, but can only partially delay the progress of early cataract. At present, the mainstream surgical method is cataract ultrasonic emulsion aspiration combined with folded IOL implantation, which has a small incision, fast surgery, less pain for patients, fast recovery, good surgical results and lower cost. However, this surgery uses ultrasound to crush the lens nucleus in the eye, and the overflowing ultrasound energy may damage the intraocular tissues at the same time. Therefore, this surgery is not suitable for patients with advanced cataract who have overripe cataract and hard lens nucleus. Therefore, if cataract patients choose to perform ultrasonic emulsification surgery, they should not wait until their visual acuity is too low, otherwise they will have a lot of postoperative intraocular damage and slow recovery. This surgery is interlocked and done in one step, if not done properly, more serious complications can occur, so it is recommended to find an experienced cataract specialist to perform the surgery.
In conclusion, surgery for cataract is the only internationally recognized and effective treatment method, and it is recommended to find an experienced cataract specialist to perform the surgery.
