Cataract is most common for older people. The eyesight is getting weaker until a person becomes blind. It can only be treated surgically. After the lens is changed the eyesight fully recovers. The earlier the disease is diagnosed - the better post-surgical effects can be expected.
Cataract surgery isn't painful, a local anesthetic is applied. A lens is replaced with an artificial one through a micro-cut in the eye. Usually the surgery lasts for abut 20-30 minutes. Vision becomes better during the first days after surgery and after a couple of weeks it becomes stable.
It only takes an hour
After the surgery Eye Clinic Lirema patients can go home the same day. On the day of the surgery the patient only spends an hour at the clinic. Post-surgical check-ups are done the next day, after a week and after a couple of weeks.
The first check-up has to be done at our clinic. After that the patient can choose another clinic if he wishes to do so.
