Affecting more than 160 million people worldwide, visual impairment manifests itself through a variety of symptoms: blurred vision, distorted images, spots and tunnel vision. These visual problems are often caused by eye disease, the most common of which is cataract.

Although there is no medical treatment that can stop the progression of cataract, cataract surgery, a procedure well mastered in Turkey, offers an effective solution. The cloudy crystalline lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, restoring clear vision.

What is cataract?

Cataracts, one of the world's leading causes of blindness, are a common age-related eye disease. It is manifested by a progressive clouding (opacification) of the crystalline lens, the natural lens of the eye that normally focuses light on the retina. 

This opacification leads to a progressive deterioration of vision, resulting in blurred vision, increased sensitivity to glare, and altered color perception. Unlike other vision problems, cataracts cannot be corrected with eyeglasses.

Causes of cataract

Age is the main risk factor for developing cataracts, mainly due to the natural aging of the lens.

However, many other factors can accelerate the onset of cataracts. These include:

Cataract surgery - Intraocular implants

In the absence of medical treatment, the only treatment for cataracts is surgery. Cataract surgery with an intraocular implant must be performed early to prevent the disease from progressing to blindness.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a sterile operating room. The surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea. The cataract is then broken into several fragments with an ultrasound instrument, and the lens is removed with a probe and replaced with an artificial lens (implant). The choice of implant depends on the anatomical characteristics of each patient's eye.

There are several categories of intraocular implants, including:

Phacoemulsification cataract surgery

Phacoemulsification is the gold standard in cataract surgery. The cloudy lens is removed extracapsularly by ultrasound through a tiny incision in the cornea.

This method, which is constantly evolving in Turkey, offers several advantages:

In addition, certain stages of the surgery, such as capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incision, are assisted by the femtosecond laser.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery

Eye surgery has been revolutionized by the introduction of the femtosecond laser. The femtosecond laser emits ultra-short pulses of light that allow the lens to be fragmented with extreme precision and automation, a critical step in cataract surgery. 

Although this technology offers undeniable advantages in terms of precision, it also has its limitations: high cost, longer operation time, and increased complexity of the procedure, both for the surgeon and the care facility.
 

Lanosterol: Eye drops to treat cataracts

Scientists are developing a non-surgical treatment for cataracts, an eye drop called lanesterol.

The next step will be to test these eye drops on humans. If the effects are positive, it would be a very interesting alternative to cataract surgery. The latter involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an implant.

Lanosterol is a naturally occurring steroid that has a physicochemical action that restores opacified lens proteins. Experimental evidence remains to be demonstrated in humans. This treatment may become an alternative to surgery, which is currently the only effective treatment.

Frequently asked questions

During cataract surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea. Then, he removes the cloudy crystallin, after having fragmented it into several pieces using ultrasounds. The crystallin is then replaced by an implant.

  • Follow the treatment prescribed by the doctor (ointment and eye drops);
  • Wear a pair of eye shields to sleep.

After cataract surgery, you can wash your face and body, but be gentle, avoid splashing water directly into your eyes and keep soap away from them. For a few days, it is best to take baths instead of showers in order to keep water away from your eyes.

The normal sight of the patient would return two or three days after surgery.
