There is usually no need for therapy if your vision is not disturbed. If your vision deteriorates and you begin to struggle with your daily activities, the only option is surgery.
Cataract surgery is generally safe and does not require hospitalization. There are 2 types of surgery to alleviate cataract symptoms:
- Small incision cataract surgery (phacoeulsification). This operation is performed by performing a small incision on the edge of the cornea. Doctors radiated an ultrasound to destroy the lens and then took it with a suction
- Extracapsular surgery requires a wider incision to remove the foggy lens. The rest of the lens is removed using a suction
During the second process of operation, artificial lenses also called intraocular lenses are inserted to replace the original lenses. This operation takes about 1 hour and is painless. Your doctor may use eye drops to make your eyes ache and you remain conscious or use general anesthesia to keep you awake.
What are the common tests for cataracts?
To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor will evaluate your medical history and perform a comprehensive eye examination. You will be referred to an ophthalmologist (ophthalmologist), who will perform some tests to confirm cataracts.
