Cataract treatment removes patient’s cloudy lens and replace them with their artificial equivalent. Local anesthesia and short duration cause patients to feel comfortable during the treatment. Modern techniques give patients opportunities to shorten the healing process and utterly eliminate the emergence of post-surgery stitches. Treatment practically rules out the risk of astigmatism. In addition, modern artificial lenses better and better imitate the natural lenses of young people. This definitely increases the comfort of life and gives a chance to resign from at least one pair of glasses.
Femtosecond laser is a high-tech method used in cataract treatment. In Poland, it is widely in use since 2012. Relying on precision, femtosecond laser practically replaces both scalpel and surgeon’s hand. It perfectly separates the cloudy lens from the remaining eye’s tissues and, then, deforms them. Afterwards, a surgeon removes cataract and places the artificial lens. Aforementioned precision makes the treatment highly effective.
Eye treatments are made in ambulatory mode. It means that patient is free to go two or three hours after a thirty-minute surgery. After the treatment, a doctor carefully examines the condition of the eye and prescribes eye-drops while a nurse schedules the check-up meeting.
