Cataract is a common eye disease, in which there is a clouding of the natural glass eye of the lens. If left untreated, cataracts can lead to complete loss of vision.
According to the sources of the World Health Organization, this eye disease has been diagnosed in 65 million people in the world in recent years. At the same time, cataracts have caused blindness in almost 24 million people. Today, Turkish specialists can effectively deal with it in one day. This fact is confirmed by the positive feedback from patients on the Experts Medical website.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the main successful treatment for cataracts is surgery. Modern technologies that guarantee success in 98% of cases are used by Turkish ophthalmologists. This is one of the main reasons why foreign patients come to Turkey for all kinds of eye surgeries.
A cataract is a serious eye disease caused by the appearance of cloudy spots on the lens. They usually increase in size over time, resulting in hazy and blurry vision. Most often occurs in older people.
Cataract symptoms may include:
Depending on which part of the lens is affected (central, lateral, or posterior), doctors classify different types of cataracts. A cataract can develop in one or both eyes without developing at the same time.
The basis of the occurrence of cataracts is the accumulation of protein in the lens. This process takes a long time, with time the lens becomes cloudy and loses its transparency.
The exact causes of the disease today could not be established. Among the possible factors for the formation of cataracts, doctors name eye injuries, previous eye surgery for other diseases, kidney failure, diabetes, overweight, smoking, and hereditary factors.
Cataract surgery in Turkey is one of the most popular among patients from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
Turkish clinics have a number of advantages that attract foreign patients:
The location of many Turkish clinics in resort areas and the excellent climate allow to optimally combine treatment with relaxation. Moreover, cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation is predominantly an outpatient procedure in Turkey.
The modern equipment of Turkish medical centers allows doctors to perform quick and accurate diagnostics.
An ophthalmological examination includes a set of tests and examinations, including:
All types of examinations in the ophthalmological centers of Turkey are painless and comfortable for the patient, and for the doctor – the most informative.
Despite the widespread occurrence of the disease, today there is no drug therapy that would eliminate the cause and consequences of cataracts. Therefore, the only way to restore vision to the patient is through surgery.
Cataract surgery involves removing the lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens – an intraocular lens. Turkish ophthalmologists use different types of implants: monofocal, multifocal, toric, and accommodative.
The doctor decides on the choice of the type of lens based on the anatomical structure of the patient’s eye. Cataract surgery in Turkey is performed if the visual impairment caused by the disease prevents the patient from leading a normal life.
Lens replacement surgery for cataracts may be indicated for a variety of medical reasons, which may include:
After a thorough diagnosis, the Turkish ophthalmologist decides on the need for surgical treatment and determines the optimal technique.
Depending on the indications for cataract removal, Turkish ophthalmologists can perform both extracapsular cataract extraction and more gentle laser-mechanical or ultrasound interventions.
In partner clinics of Experts Medical in Turkey, the following surgical methods of cataract removal are available to patients:
Cataract treatment in Turkish hospitals is also carried out after LASIK laser vision correction. This is done so that the effect after installing the intraocular lens is not reduced, which happens in the presence of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Therefore, the doctor may decide on a complex surgical procedure.
Like any other operation, cataract surgery has a number of contraindications. They can be temporary or absolute.
Temporary ones include pregnancy, acute infections in the body, including eye infections, and SARS.
Absolute contraindications to the operation include:
There are also age restrictions. As a rule, many clinics do not perform laser and ultrasound procedures on patients under 18 years of age.
The American Hospital in Istanbul specializes in laser treatment of cataracts and other eye diseases in the elderly. If it is impossible to treat cataracts surgically, the patient is prescribed drug therapy aimed at slowing the progression of the disease.
