Procedure of cataract surgery

Diagnosis and advice
During a detailed examination, we assess the condition of your lens and discuss your individual needs as well as possible lens options.

Surgery
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The clouded lens is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This process usually takes less than 30 minutes.

Aftercare
Regular check-up appointments ensure that your healing process is optimal. In most cases, you can resume everyday activities within a few days.

Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
OptionsWe offer a variety of premium lenses to suit your individual needs:

Monofocal lenses with extended depth of field
These lenses optimize vision at a distance while allowing for some near vision.

Toric lenses
Ideal for patients with astigmatism, as they correct these visual defects at the same time as cataract treatment.

Multifocal lenses
For patients who want to do without glasses both near and far. These lenses allow for clear vision for everyday activities such as reading, working or driving.
