HOW TO GET RID OF CATARACTS IN 30 MINUTES?

Turkey Medicals member and Antalya JCI hospital clinic department Ophthalmology Specialist Dr. said that with developing technology, it is possible to get rid of cataracts with a half-hour cataracts eye operation. Dr. noted that 90 percent of cataract patients are 60 years of age or older, but they can still be seen in any age group.

Specialist Dr. emphasizes that the symptoms of cataract caused by the deterioration of eye lenses appear mainly with the progression of age. Dr. said, “It may not even show symptoms during the initial period. The clouding of the lens of the eye increases day by day, and this condition is most often noticed by other people. Commonly, if vision is not clear, blurred, smoky and hazy are among the symptoms. Cataract can cause the colors to become paler and less sharp. It becomes difficult to read newspapers and books, watch TV, drive a car. Rarely, there may be double vision, as well as hale can be seen around strong light sources such as a street lamp or a car headlight in the dark,” he said.

Stating that the only option to completely get rid of cataract is surgical intervention, Specialist Dr. said,”In the early stages of cataract, complaints that occur during daily work with the use of glasses can be temporarily resolved. But in advanced cases of cataracts, surgery is the only option. In surgery, the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. The clouding of the eye lens is removed through a small tunnel incision by numbing the eye area, mostly with local anesthesia. Then, an artificial monofocal (single-focus) or multifocal (multi-focus) lens of high quality is inserted into the eye to restore the patient’s sense of vision. For the best cataract laser eye operation in Antalya hospital takes about half an hour to complete,” he said.

“Protecting the eyes from sunlight and not looking directly at the sun, quitting smoking, eating a healthy and balanced diet, and keeping diabetes under control significantly reduces the risk,” Specialist Dr. said, noting that it is not possible to fully prevent the formation of cataracts.
