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 100 % with femtosecond laser, using the latest generations of premium intraocular lenses to correct vision at all distances

Types of intraocular lenses we use

Dr. Nowrouzi adapts each lens according to the type of vision desired and the patient's anatomy:

  • MonofocalClear distance vision. Reading glasses required.

  • Premium MultifocalDistance and near vision without glasses. Ideal for active lifestyles.

  • EDOF lenses (Extended Depth of Focus): Greater depth of focus, less night halos.

  • O-ringsThey also correct astigmatism in the same procedure.

All our lenses are FDA approved and CE compliant.

Are you a candidate for cataract surgery?

You are if you have any of these symptoms:

  • Blurred or hazy vision

  • Difficulty in reading or driving at night

  • Frequent changes to your glasses prescription

  • Mayor sensitivity to light or glare

Surgery is indicated when cataract affects your quality of life or your visual safety.The diagnosis must be made by specific eye tests:

✔ Visual acuity study
✔ Crystalline lens and retina examination
Ocular biometry to calculate the exact power of the intraocular lens
Retinal OCT to rule out associated pathologies before operating

Dr. Nowrouzi conducts a full assessment to determine the ideal time for intervention.

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.

Very grateful to have met Dr Ali, can’t imagine if I didn’t meet him, I could still be just like anyone that was frustrated everyday with blurred visions, due to age or natural reasons, and have to continuously switching reading-glasses/trifocal/contact lenses…reluctantly. Dr Ali is kind, talented and always seeking for advance technique, I earn trust & confidence in him after a few consultations and made the life-changing decisions for my eyes. Now seeing a whole new world with my new eyes. Very thankful indeed. The only regret is I should have met him earlier and I could enjoy this earlier.

Mi experiencia con el Dr. Ali Nowrouzi y su equipo en la clínica Quirón Marbella ha sido excelente. Desde la primera consulta, recibí una atención profesional y personalizada, con explicaciones claras y detalladas sobre el procedimiento. La cirugía refractiva fue rápida y precisa, y el proceso de recuperación ha sido muy satisfactorio. Ahora disfruto de una visión clara sin necesidad de gafas, lo que ha mejorado enormemente mi calidad de vida. Recomiendo sin duda al Dr. Nowrouzi y su equipo en la clínica Quirón Marbella a cualquier persona que esté considerando esta intervención. Su profesionalismo y dedicación hacen que el proceso sea seguro y confiable.

I am very satisfied, more than expected. Both with the whole and especially with Ali Nowrouzi, both with the treatment and the friendly attitude. He discovered that in addition to cataracts, I have a degenerative disease, Fuchs dystrophy, which I did not know. Both eyes were quickly operated on and I see much better than I have for a long time, I can even read again! Also, I feel secure in the knowledge that there is treatment in the future as the disease progresses.
