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
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.
In our Marbella clinic we have the latest technology to guarantee outstanding results in every treatment.
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.
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.
Pre-operative preparation
Anaesthetic and mydriatic (pupil dilating) drops are applied. General anaesthesia is not used. The procedure lasts between 10 and 15 minutes.
Microincision and extraction of the crystalline lens
Through a microincision of about 2 mm, Dr. Nowrouzi uses ultrasound to fragment and remove the cataract.
Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
A customised folding lens in the capsular bag. This lens replaces the natural crystalline lens.
Completion and discharge
No stitches or bandages are used. The patient goes home the same day and begins to notice visual improvement within hours.
The price of cataract surgery depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) used and the previous personalised study. At our clinic we offer different options depending on your visual needs and lifestyle.
Cataract surgery is included in the public health system. However, the lens implanted is usually a standard monofocal lens.Many people choose to go the private route to access advanced lenses that offer full vision without glasses.
