Considering cataract surgery

Vision becomes blurred, the perception of colors becomes dull and sensitivity to light increases. In the initial development of a cataract, the patients do not realize that they are suffering from the condition, because the effects on vision are minimal or absent. As the lens becomes more clouded, the symptoms worsen, causing significant deterioration of vision that can lead to blindness.

A cataract is a progressive clouding of the transparent lens located inside the eye. This phenomenon decreases the amount and quality of light that passes through the eye, and which is necessary for vision. Vision becomes blurred, the perception of colors becomes dull and sensitivity to light increases.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of visual impairment in the world and are considered a public health issue. They generally occur in people over 60 years of age but can also affect young children (congenital cataract).

In the initial development of a cataract, the patients do not realize that they are suffering from the condition, because the effects on vision are minimal or absent. As the lens becomes more clouded, the symptoms worsen, causing significant deterioration of vision that can lead to blindness.

This surgery is the most common procedure performed in the world.2

It enjoys a complete success rate in 95% of cases.3 However, as with any intervention, one can never completely exclude a complication. The most severe complication that may occur during cataract surgery is an intraocular infection. The frequency of this type of complication is 1 in 2,500 cases. In 4 cases out of 1,000, difficulties can occur during surgery, causing retinal detachment. This then will require additional surgery.

In a third of patients, the lens capsule can become opaque again a few months or even years after surgery. This phenomenon is called a “secondary cataract” or “posterior capsule opacification.” The treatment involves making an opening in the opaque posterior capsule (capsulotomy) using a YAG laser. This will restore the eyesight by the next day after laser treatment.
