Advance Cataract Surgery

Cataract is a common eye disease, because of clouding of natural crystalline lens of the eye with an increasing age, leading to a decrease in vision. Over the years, advancements in medical technology have significantly improved the procedures and outcomes for cataract surgery. At Shree Ganesh Netralaya (SGN), we are committed to provide the best and proven surgery options to our patients. We are providing comprehensive information on advanced cataract surgery, intended for patients seeking detailed, professional, and clear information on the subject.

Understanding Cataracts

Cataracts develop when lens protein clump together, creating cloudy areas that obstruct light from passing through the lens.

Traditional vs. Advanced Cataract Surgery

Traditional cataract surgery, involves the use of injectable anaesthetic agents, near an eye, to numb the eye and surround structures during surgery. Topical anaesthesia is one of the latest adopted anaesthesia technique in modern cataract surgery for early recovery as well as “walk-in, walk-out” overwhelming experience for the patients. We are performing almost 99% of Cataract procedure as P ainless, P atchless, P unctureless (no need of needle puncture), P inhole – 4P Cataract surgery

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS): This technique uses a laser to make precise incisions and soften the cataract, allowing for more accurate and less invasive removal. The laser can also create a more precise opening in the lens capsule, which can lead to better positioning and stability of the IOL.
Advanced Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Modern IOLs offer various options to correct other vision issues like astigmatism and presbyopia. These lenses include Extended Depth of Focus IOL, Trifocal & Multifocal IOLs, & astigmatism correcting Toric IOLs.

Benefits of Advanced Cataract Surgery

Opting for advanced cataract surgery can offer numerous benefits, including:

Improved Vision Quality: The residual astigmatism and presbyopia after Monofocal IOL implantation can be easily managed by new generation advanced IOLs to achieve higher spectacle independent life.
Quicker Recovery: Smaller incisions without injection lead to faster healing and a quicker return to normal activities without leaving residual pain.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Advanced technologies and techniques help minimize the risk of complications during and after surgery.

The Procedure

Here is a step-by-step overview of what patients can expect during advanced cataract surgery:

Preoperative Assessment: A thorough eye examination and measurements are taken to determine the appropriate IOL and plan the surgery.
Anesthesia: Typically, local anesthesia is used, numbing the eye to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

Risks and Considerations

While advanced cataract surgery is generally safe, it is essential to be aware of potential risks, which can include infection, bleeding, increased intraocular pressure, and issues with the IOL. However, the use of advanced technologies significantly reduces these risks.

Conclusion

Advanced cataract surgery represents a significant leap forward in the treatment of cataracts, offering patients improved vision quality, faster recovery, and a reduced risk of complications. By incorporating cutting-edge technologies like femtosecond lasers, advanced IOLs, and image-guided systems, this procedure provides a highly effective and personalized solution for those affected by cataracts.
