Cataracts may have seriously affected your life, but that can all change. Modern medical technology has allowed doctors to help you regain good vision and a colorful life through a simple, safe procedure!
1. What is a cataract A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in the eye. When we look at an object, light passes through the cornea, then focuses on the retina through the lens, and then passes through the optic nerve to the brain to produce vision. If we compare the eye to a camera, the lens is the lens, and if the lens becomes cloudy, we cannot take clear pictures.
Cataract treatment More than 90% of cataract patients are elderly people, which is the result of natural aging of the lens, so it is difficult to prevent cataract. This type of surgery restores the patient’s vision by removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a new artificial lens.
3.Ultrasound emulsion surgery Ultrasound emulsion surgery is currently recognized worldwide as a safe and effective surgical procedure for cataracts. During the surgery, an incision of about 3 mm is made on the eye, and then a pen-tip sized ultrasonic needle is inserted to crush and aspirate the cloudy lens, and then an IOL is implanted and fixed through the same incision. The entire procedure takes only ten minutes, is minimally invasive, heals quickly, and most patients can regain good vision within a few days after surgery.
4. What is an IOL An IOL is a small lens made of synthetic material that is implanted in the eye to replace the surgically removed cataract lens during cataract surgery. Under normal circumstances, IOLs are used for life.
Folding IOLs are suitable for small incisions for hyperemesis. Among them, IOLs made of hydrophobic acrylic are biocompatible, have high stability in the eye and can maintain good results for a long time.
5. IOLs of different designs have different functions The general IOLs are monofocal in design, which can provide you with clear distance vision, but you still need to use glasses when engaging in near vision activities such as reading books, cell phones, and reading labels. Among the monofocal IOLs, aspheric IOLs greatly improve the quality of imaging, especially at night; astigmatism-correcting IOLs can precisely correct astigmatism, allowing cataract surgery and astigmatism correction to be completed in one go.
The newly developed multifocal IOLs provide you with a full range of vision for near, middle and far vision through a different multifocal design, helping you to get rid of glasses as much as possible and have a more relaxed life.
