Premium Cataract Surgery

In premium catarack surgery,  the caratactous natural lens (lenticula) is taken away as in the standart cataract surgeries, but different from the standart surgery, a syntetic intraocular lens (lenticula) which has the ability to focus is used. These lenticulas can be classified and defined as below.

They are produced in a pattern defined as aspheric. To reduce the refractions of vision and light to minimum is aimed in aspheric pattern. Therefore compared to standart lenses (lenticulas) light and vision refractions are less and night vision is better in these kind of lenses (lenticulas).

1. Unifocal; is designed for reducing the need for glasses to minimum only for distance seeing. Patients hardly ever need glasses for distance seeing but they need +2,50 glasses for near vision. In addition to this we must mention that you can not see your mobile phone or your watch without +2,50 near  vision glasses.

2. Unifocal and toric; is designed for reducing the need for glasses to minimum only for distance vision and fixing astigmatism. Astigmatism is fixed nearly totally, they hardly ever need glasses for distance seeing but these patients need +2,50 glasses for near vision too. We must mention that again, you can not see your mobile phone or your watch without near vision glasses.

3. Trifocal; is designed for reducing the need for glasses to minimum for distance- medium (80 cm)- near (40 cm) seeing. Patients hardly ever need glasses in these three distances (distance-medium-near). Maybe for very tiny scripts +1,00 glasses can be needed. But you can see far/ computer or car display panels/book/newspaper/mobile phone distances in 90% of your life.

4. Toric- Trifocal; is designed for reducing the need for glasses to minimum for distanc- medium (80 cm)- near (40 cm) seeing and fixing astigmatism. Patients hardly ever need glasses in these three distances (distance-medium-near). However you can see far/ computer or car display panels/book/newspaper/mobile phone distances in 90% of your life.

   A detailed examination of the patient is needed in the first place. Not every patient’s eye can be suitable for using this kind of lenses (lenticulas).  Professional status, social activities, reading habits, intellectual status of the cataractous patient are important in selection of patient. Selecting the suitable patient and proper technique, the experience of the establishment and the operatig doctor and choosing the proper lenticula will bring high rates of success together.

Whom Are The Premium Lenses Applied To?

Premium lenses taht we put in the cataract surgery are suitable for most of the patients if there is not a special condition. They can also be applied to young people who do not have cataracts but have high degree hypermetropia or myopia that prevents them going under laser treatment. With premium lenses these patients can be freed from  near-medium-distance vision errors at an early age and freed from need of glasses. This is defined as transparent lens (lenticula) extraction surgery.

Improvement in intraocular lens technologies is a positive development for cataract patients today. Standart intraocular lenses (lenticulas) were used in cataract surgeries in traditional way until today. Even if this type of lenses could bring functional seeing back to normal, patients still had to use near/distance glasses or had light and vision diffusion problems.

With Premium Intraocular Lenses, you can be freed from;

• Cataracts
• Near vision problems
• Distance vision problems
• Astigmatism

Yet your doctor will decide which is suitable for you.
