Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss, especially in older adults, and are currently one of the most safely treatable diseases.
Vision gradually decreases as the eye lens loses its natural transparency and becomes cloudy.
Colors become faded, night vision becomes difficult, and it feels like looking through a foggy window.

Cataracts are caused not only by age, but also by diabetes, prolonged sun exposure, smoking, certain medications (especially cortisone), and

It can also occur due to previous eye trauma.
The good news is that cataracts can be permanently treated with modern microsurgical techniques.

When is cataract surgery necessary?

If one or more of the following symptoms have started to affect your quality of life, it may be time for cataract surgery:

• Vision becoming blurry or hazy

• Glare from lights at night or inability to look at headlights.

• Loss of color vibrancy

• Frequently changing eyeglass prescriptions but still not being able to see clearly.

• Difficulty reading, watching television, or driving a car.

As cataracts progress, it becomes impossible to achieve clarity with glasses.
At this point, surgery becomes the only permanent solution.

Cataract surgery – short, safe and comfortable.

Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed operations in the field of ophthalmology and has one of the highest success rates.
It is performed painlessly under local anesthesia.
The procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes, and patients can be discharged the same day.

In this procedure, the cloudy natural lens is removed using special instruments, and a custom-designed artificial lens (intraocular lens) is implanted in its place.
Most patients experience a significant improvement in vision even the day after surgery.
With new generation lenses, a glasses-free life for both near and far vision is now possible.

Which lens is right for you?

Today, there are many types of lenses available that can be selected according to the patient's lifestyle and visual expectations.

Monofocal lenses: Clarify distance vision; often require glasses for reading.

Multifocal or trifocal lenses: Provide glasses-free vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.

Toric lenses: Correct both cataracts and astigmatism in patients with astigmatism.

Premium blue light filter lenses: Provides protection against screen glare and enhances color contrast.

The right lens for you will be determined by considering your eye structure, occupation, and daily lifestyle.

Post-operative period

Most patients return to their daily lives shortly after surgery.
You may experience a slight stinging or burning sensation in the first few days, but this will pass quickly.
When checkups are done regularly, the risks of infection or vision loss are extremely low.
With careful monitoring and proper care, vision quality can be preserved for many years.
