What is cataract?
Cataracts are clouding of the eye's natural lens, which gradually reduces visual acuity. The name comes from the ancient Greek word katarrháktes ("waterfall"), because ancient doctors believed that a cloudy fluid flowed between the iris and the lens.
Early diagnosis
In the early stages, visual impairment is not noticeable, so the disease can only be detected during a regular ophthalmological examination. As cataracts progress, vision becomes blurry, sensitivity to bright light increases, night vision worsens, and color perception weakens.
Distribution
Cataracts mostly develop in older people, but they can also appear at the age of 40–50.
Treatment principles
Medicines, drops, or exercises do not cure cataracts. The only effective method is to remove the damaged lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Phacoemulsification in the clinic
Technology:
2 mm micro-incision;
phacoemulsifier Alcon CENTURION Vision Gold System (USA/Switzerland);
microsurgical microscope Leica M 841 EBS .
Advantages:
minimal endothelial stress;
low risk of postoperative complications;
highest optical quality;
maximum safety of the procedure.
At the end of the surgery, an IOL is implanted, restoring the eye's ability to focus at different distances.
SLT/YAG laser technology
Quantel Medical's patented platform generates nanosecond pulses in the infrared and visible green spectrum using a dual-mode resonator.
YAG laser for the treatment of secondary cataracts
High-power photodestruction for capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy;
a uniform beam profile ensures precise targeting at low energy;
two-point aiming beam guarantees fast and precise focusing on the capsule;
Adjustable focal length allows you to choose the optimal depth of destruction.
