Steroids)<\/li><li>Congenital (at a young age)<\/li><li>Systemic disease<\/li><li>Diabetes<\/li><li>Alcohol abuse<\/li><li>Prolonged exposure to UV radiation<\/li><li>Trauma<\/li><li>Other eye surgery (i.e retinal detachment surgery)<\/li><\/ul><h2>Can we prevent Cataract?<\/h2><p>Some preventive measures include:<\/p><ul><li>Use of a hat that blocks ultraviolet (UV) sunlight<\/li><li>Using sunglasses that block UV sunlight<\/li><li>Stop smoking<\/li><li>Change diet to include green leafy vegetables and fruits.<\/li><\/ul><h2>How do I know I have cataracts?\u00a0What are the symptoms?<\/h2><p>Common symptoms of cataracts are:<\/p><ul><li>Blurred vision (as if seeing through cloudy glass).<\/li><li>Sensitivity to light reflection, especially at night.<\/li><li>Colors that appear faded.<\/li><li>Temporary improvement of near vision with frequent changes in the prescription of glasses or contact lenses.<\/li><li>Double images.<\/li><li>Difficulty driving at night.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Treatment &amp; Treatment with Cataract Surgery<\/h2><p>Modern cataract surgery is minimally invasive and through a 2.2 mm incision in the cornea we can remove the cloudy natural lens, the cataract.\u00a0We then insert a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens.\u00a0The surgery is mostly performed under local anesthesia.\u00a0At the end of the operation usually no suture is placed, as a result of which the patient&#8217;s recovery is faster and painless.<\/p><p>Cataract surgery is the most performed operation.\u00a0The reason is that with age, the crystalline lens inside the eye becomes cloudy, with the consequence that the visual acuity decreases, and the patient does not see clearly.\u00a0But there are other aggravating factors for the creation of cataracts beyond age, less important, such as exposure to the sun&#8217;s ultraviolet rays (UV), genetic factors, as well as some injury to the eye that is the cause of traumatic cataracts.<\/p><p>Cataract surgery is performed under local anesthesia by putting drops in the eye and takes an average of 20 minutes.\u00a0The cooperation of the patient is necessary because the patient should not move during the surgery.\u00a0Sedation is usually used by the anesthesiologists who are present throughout the operating, but the patient is not completely asleep.\u00a0During the surgery the patient is covered with sterile drapes and therefore the patient should not be claustrophobic.\u00a0For cataract surgery, special microscopes are used, and the surgeon uses ultrasound to break up the cataract and suction it through a 2.2 mm incision.\u00a0The use of\u00a0 laser is not particularly widespread for cataract surgery since all it offers is the creation of incisions in the cornea and the periphery of the lens.\u00a0The main lens should break with the ultrasound and shatter.\u00a0At the end of the cataract surgery, an acrylic lens is placed inside the eye.<\/p><p>Nowadays, cataract surgery has also evolved into refractive surgery.<\/p><h3>What does this mean;<\/h3><p>With special measurements, the surgeon can accurately calculate the length of the eye and correct any myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia.\u00a0For this reason, special (premium) intraocular lenses are used, which are customized to each patient.\u00a0After surgery, we advise patients not to lift weights, use drops that we prescribe, and keep their eye clean away from dust and dirt.\u00a0Also, since the cataract surgery is performed without the use of stitches, the patient should not rub the eye, and water should not enter the eye for 10 days.\u00a0Cataract surgery is perhaps the most successful operation in medicine with a success rate of 98% and an infection rate of less than 1\/1000.<\/p><h2>Before surgery<\/h2><p>The pre-operative check-up includes tests concerning the eye (biometrics, which calculates the dimensions of the eye), and your general state of health (general blood and electrocardiogram).<\/p><h2>After surgery<\/h2><p>Immediately after the operation, the eye can be left either open or closed with patch which you can remove within a few hours.\u00a0Make sure you always have clean hands.\u00a0Sometimes you may have a foreign body sensation for a few hours after the operation or mild pain.\u00a0The use of a painkiller (paracetamol) is usually enough to relieve you of these symptoms.\u00a0During the\u00a01st postoperative week,\u00a0any intense activity is discouraged,\u00a0and we should also not lift\u00a0weights over 3 kg.<\/p><p>*During the early postoperative period (2 to 7 days after the operation) if the eye shows any of the following symptoms:<\/p><ol><li>Intense Redness<\/li><li>Pain with sensitivity to light<\/li><li>Vision loss\u00a0<\/li><\/ol><p>You must <strong>contact your eye doctor <u>IMMEDIATELY<\/u><\/strong> for advice.<\/p><h2>Cataract Surgery Success<\/h2><p>Cataract surgery is considered the surgery with the highest success rate of 98%.\u00a0After the operation, the patients&#8217; quality of life improves significantly.\u00a0Patients have a better quality of vision and can and perform daily activities more safely.\u00a0Also, the surgery can correct refractive abnormalities to some extent and the patient has less dependence on glasses, for example myopia or presbyopia.<\/p><p><strong>Intraocular lenses<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Simple intraocular lenses<\/strong><\/p><p>Simple intraocular lenses are the main category of lenses we use at the end of cataract surgery.\u00a0They are a reliable solution for patients without high astigmatism.<\/p><h2>Toric intraocular lenses for astigmatism correction<\/h2><p>Toric intraocular lenses are a reliable solution for patients with astigmatism, as they are specially designed to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery.\u00a0The selection of the lens is made after special measurements of the curvature of the patient&#8217;s cornea (corneal topography) and requires a special order.<\/p><h2>Multifocal intraocular lenses for presbyopia correction<\/h2><p>Multifocal intraocular lenses provide near, intermediate, and far vision correction, greatly reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses for most patients.\u00a0Some toric multifocal intraocular lenses can also correct astigmatism.<\/p><p>Choosing a multifocal intraocular lens is not suitable for all patients.\u00a0The decision to insert a multifocal intraocular lens is made after special examinations (corneal topography, macular coherence optical tomography) and discussion with the ophthalmologist.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-481 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/retinaeyeclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_6.jpg\" alt=\"\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03c1\u03ac\u03ba\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03ce\u03bd\" width=\"438\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retinaeyeclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_6.jpg 438w, https:\/\/retinaeyeclinic.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_6-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><\/p><h2>What are the costs and prices for cataract surgery?<\/h2><p>The cost of the operation varies.
