Cataracts are one of the most common eye diseases. But this disease can be treated well by a routine procedure. During eye surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. The eye is locally numbed. Cataract surgery is minimally invasive. A fine scalpel is used to make a two to three millimetre long corneal incision. The procedure can also be performed using a laser. The LENSAR laser<\/a> in the B\u00e1nyai eye centres in Stuttgart-Mitte<\/a>, B\u00f6blingen<\/a> and Leonberg<\/a> is extremely precise and extremely safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cataract surgery procedure: The steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cataract surgery duration<\/a> is short and painless. The lens opacity is eliminated. The eye is pacified with state-of-the-art drop anaesthesia. The ophthalmologist performs the surgery using a high-resolution microscope. A bandage protects the operated eye after the operation. Full vision is restored after a few days. The cataract surgical procedure looks as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – Local anaesthesia with drops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a first step, the affected eye is placed wide open with eye drops and numbed. This way, you won’t feel anything during the operation \u2014\u00a0cataract surgery pain<\/a>\u00a0is effectively avoided. This local anaesthetic is a gentle method for the rest of your body. In order to give you more peace of mind, additional sedatives can be administered.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mild twilight anaesthesia<\/a> would be another option, but in most cases it is not necessary, just like general anaesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your face is covered with a thin sterile cloth, only the eye to be operated on remains free. Breathing and speaking is possible. The eye is kept open with an eyelid opener. Drops containing iodine sterilize the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Removal of the body’s greyish lens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the operation, the opaque lens is shredded with high-frequency ultrasonic waves using phacoemulsification<\/a>. First, the surgeon makes a two to three millimetre incision in the lateral cornea of the eye. Viscous fluid is injected into the eye to maintain eye pressure and protect the structures of the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctor removes the thin anterior skin of the lens capsule. An ultrasound probe is brought to the lens through the opening in the cornea. The vibrations of the fine titanium needle crush the hardened and clouded lens core into tiny particles that are removed with a suction tip. The posterior parts of the lens capsule are preserved, they support the implanted artificial lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is a femtosecond laser LENSAR. With high precision and safety, it takes care of all the necessary cuts. He crushes the clouded lens and removes it. The high-precision LENSAR laser is used in B\u00e1nyai Augenheilkunde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
