The surgeon who did my cataracts 16 years ago had already done 4,000 cataract operations, when he did mine. The main risk is infection. Yep, its local anthestic a day hospital job in many parts of the less developed world. Normally local anaesthetic everywhere, unless you have a very long eyeball in which case total anaesthetic is used. It's about a half day job even with total anaesthetic.They want you out of the hospital before you can catch an infection. Do one eye, come back next week/month get the other eye done... I suspect this is a very basic "cure" popping out the old cloudy lens and popping in a rigid standard replacement. The replacement lens is flexible it is rolled into a cylinder before being inserted into the eye through a 2-3mm slit just above the iris. You then get glasses to "match" the new lenses to your eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if more advanced treatment allow for the replacement lens to be matched to the eye and be flexable so you still have variable focus. Replacement lenses are matched to the eye, but are not variable focus. Have you had this operation yourself? |
