Cataracts
Cataracts are characterized by the opacification of the crystalline lens, the natural, transparent lens of the eye that enables us to see. When the crystalline lens becomes opaque, vision becomes blurred. This phenomenon, known as cataract, generally begins around the age of 65. However, it can also develop at a younger age as a result of metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
Treatment
Purpose of the operation
cataract
Cataract surgery at Vision Future Switzerland is subject to constant technological innovation. Its main aim is to replace the opacified crystalline lens with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular implant.
Three key points demonstrate the importance of this procedure:
- Improves vision by restoring lens transparency
- Artificial lens selection to correct pre-existing vision anomalies
- Choice of premium, fully customized implants to correct refractive anomalies
Treatments
Intraocular implants
Multifocal implants
These implants correct both distance and near vision (presbyopia), and are indicated for patients without astigmatism.
