What is cataract surgery?

The waterfall is a progressive opacity of the crystalline lens, which affects vision and usually appears from the age of 55-60. Surgery consists of removing the opacified lens y replacing it with an intraocular lens (IOL)restoring visual clarity.

In our clinic we perform this procedure with ultrasound phacoemulsificationThe technique is safe and minimally invasive, under local anaesthesia (drops), without stitches or hospitalisation.

What is cataract surgery like?

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, without hospitalisation, painless and with a quick recovery. In our clinic we use the safest and most widespread technique: phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Phases of the procedure:

  1. Pre-operative preparation
    Anaesthetic and mydriatic (pupil dilating) drops are applied. General anaesthesia is not used. The procedure lasts between 10 and 15 minutes.

  2. Microincision and extraction of the crystalline lens
    Through a microincision of about 2 mm, Dr. Nowrouzi uses ultrasound to fragment and remove the cataract.

  3. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
    A customised folding lens in the capsular bag. This lens replaces the natural crystalline lens.

  4. Completion and discharge
    No stitches or bandages are used. The patient goes home the same day and begins to notice visual improvement within hours.
