What is a cataract?<\/h2>\n

Cataract is an age-related eye condition derived from the sclerosis (loss of elasticity) and opacification (loss of transparency) of the crystalline lens. As a result light does not reflect correctly on the retina causing a decrease of vision in affected patients.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding”

CATARACT
\nCORRECTION<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The only effective treatment for the elimination of cataracts is surgery<\/strong>. Optical correction (eyeglasses, contact lenses) and medication do not correct this pathology.<\/p>\n

Cataract surgery replaces the opacified crystalline lens with an intraocular lens<\/strong> (IOL).<\/p>\n

Cataracts are eliminated using the phacoemulsification<\/a> procedure with intraocular lens implant. Femtosecond laser (femto phaco) may be used as an adjuvant method.

PSEUDOPHAKIC<\/strong>
\nINTRAOCULAR LENSES<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Cataract surgery replaces the opacified crystalline lens with an intraocular lens. These lenses are innocuous and biocompatible.<\/p>\n

However, not all phakic intraocular lenses are the same. Choosing a specific lens will depend on whether the purpose of surgery is just to remove the cataracts. Refractive errors may also be corrected which requires different lenses. Lenses can be monofocal or multifocal in terms of their focusing distance (near, medium or far). Intraocular lenses that correct astigmatism are known as toric lenses.<\/p>\n

The posterior capsule of the crystalline lens in which the intraocular lens is implanted becomes fibrous with time and causes a reduction of vision (commonly known as \u201cdirty lenses\u201d) although it is actually the posterior capsule on which the lens is supported that is affected. This situation has a quick simple solution with the use of YAG capsulotomy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9616″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#dad2c7″ bg_image=”3451″ background_image_mobile_hidden=”true” bg_position=”center center” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”17%” bottom_padding=”17%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”equipo” overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” video_mute=”true” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Cataract surgery is performed when vision loss limits daily activities<\/strong>. This vision impairment begins at 0.5 in the eye chart<\/strong> (sometimes less).<\/p>\n

At this point activities like reading and driving become difficult.<\/p><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”Can my cataracts improve without surgery?”][vc_column_text]No. The cataract process is associated with ageing and develops in an irreversible form. Surgery is the only effective treatment.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”Can cataract surgery improve myopia\/hyperopia?”][vc_column_text]Yes. The intraocular lens<\/strong> that replaces the eye lens<\/strong> is adjusted to correct the patient\u2019s myopia\/hyperopia.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”Can cataract surgery correct astigmatism?”][vc_column_text]Yes. There are several methods to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery. One of them involves making relaxing (arcuate) incisions<\/strong> which reduce astigmatism. Another method is the use of special (toric) lenses<\/strong>. In this case the results are less predictable than in the correction of myopia or hyperopia, but the reduction of astigmatism will still be considerable.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”Will my vision recover 100% after cataract surgery?”][vc_column_text]\n

That will depend on the condition of the eye structures. Initial prognosis<\/strong> is based on a study carried out before surgery.<\/p>\n

A 100% healthy eye<\/strong> that loses vision with cataract will recover its vision 100% after surgery, however if the retina is damaged<\/strong> and the vision is reduced to 60%, cataract surgery will only restore vision to 60%.<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”Which intraocular lens will I have implanted?”][vc_column_text]\n

The type of intraocular lens to be implanted depends on the needs of patients<\/strong> and their daily activity<\/p>\n
