Cataract Surgery at Neueye is a state-of-the-art day-care procedure for the removal of an opacified crystalline lens and implantation of a customized intraocular lens (IOL). Utilizing advanced phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted techniques, the surgery is performed under topical anesthesia through micro-incisions, typically completed in approximately 15 minutes. A comprehensive range of premium IOL options is offered, including monofocal, toric, multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and trifocal lenses, allowing personalized correction of refractive error alongside cataract removal for spectacle independence at multiple distances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When is the right time to undergo cataract surgery?

A: Surgery is recommended when cataract-related visual impairment interferes with daily activities such as driving, reading, or work. There is no need to wait for the cataract to mature.

Q: Is cataract surgery painful?

A: No. The procedure is performed under topical anesthesia (eye drops). Patients may feel mild pressure or awareness but typically experience no pain.

Q: How long is the recovery period?

A: Most patients experience marked improvement within 24 to 48 hours and return to routine activities within a few days. Complete healing occurs over 4 to 6 weeks.

Q: Which intraocular lens is best for me?

A: IOL selection depends on lifestyle, occupation, pre-existing refractive error, and ocular health. Our surgeons will discuss the optimal choice during pre-operative counseling.

Q: Can cataracts recur after surgery?

A: The cataract itself does not return. However, posterior capsular opacification may develop in some patients months or years later and is easily treated with a brief outpatient YAG laser procedure.
