Cataract surgery is a vital ophthalmological procedure designed to restore vision impaired by a cloudy lens (cataract). Conducted under local anesthesia, the surgery involves a small incision through which the clouded lens is gently broken up and removed using advanced ultrasound technology called phacoemulsification.
Following the removal of the cataract, a synthetic intraocular lens (IOL) is typically implanted to replace the natural lens, significantly enhancing focus and visual clarity. Patients often experience rapid improvement in vision post-surgery, accompanied by minimal discomfort and a brief recovery period. Widely regarded as safe and effective, cataract surgery remains one of the most successful medical interventions globally, with millions of procedures performed annually.
A case of a 28-year-old woman, housewife, with decreasing vision on her Left Eye (LE) since 7 years ago. Other complaints like red eyes, watery, and glare when exposed to light were not found. No…
Background: The demand for presbyopia-correcting IOLs (intraocular lenses) at the time of cataract surgery is increasing. An alternative to implanting these lenses is monovision cataract surgery.…
Background: We aimed to present the outcomes and complications following phacoemulsification cataract surgery complicated by anterior capsule tears. Methods: This study prospectively included…
Introduction This study aimed to explore (1) patients’ subjective utility for a patient information video (PIV) on cataract surgery and (2) analyse the use of Quick Read (QR) code as a mode of…
