Understanding Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is a common procedure that involves the removal of clouded lenses in order to restore clear vision. At Acibadem Healthcare Group, we offer advanced surgical techniques and cutting-edge cataract treatments to improve your overall vision and enhance your quality of life.
During cataract surgery, our skilled ophthalmologists utilize minimally invasive techniques to gently remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear, artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). This outpatient procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
Advancements in cataract treatment have revolutionized the field of ophthalmology, allowing for enhanced precision and better outcomes. With the use of modern technology and state-of-the-art equipment, we can tailor the procedure to meet your specific needs and maximize your visual potential.
Our team at Acibadem Healthcare Group understands the importance of personalized care and attention to detail. We will guide you through the entire process, from the initial consultation to postoperative care, ensuring a seamless and successful cataract surgery experience.

The Connection Between Cataracts and Glaucoma
Cataracts and glaucoma are two prevalent eye conditions that can greatly impact the clarity and overall health of the eyes. Understanding the relationship between these conditions is essential in ensuring comprehensive treatment for optimal outcomes. At Acibadem Healthcare Group, we take an integrated approach to address both cataracts and glaucoma, providing our patients with the highest standard of care.
When it comes to cataracts, the clouding of the eye’s natural lens can cause blurry vision, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing at night. Glaucoma, on the other hand, is characterized by increased pressure in the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated.
What many people may not realize is that cataracts and glaucoma can often coexist in the same individual. In fact, studies have shown that individuals with cataracts may have an increased risk of developing glaucoma, and vice versa.
Addressing both conditions simultaneously during treatment is crucial for comprehensive care and the preservation of eye health. At Acibadem Healthcare Group, our team of ophthalmology specialists is well-equipped to diagnose and manage both cataracts and glaucoma, ensuring that our patients receive the most appropriate and effective treatments.
Our integrated approach involves a thorough evaluation of each patient’s eye health and individual needs. This may include cataract surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens, as well as glaucoma treatments such as eye drops, laser therapy, or surgical interventions to lower intraocular pressure.
By addressing both cataracts and glaucoma in a coordinated manner, we aim to optimize our patients’ visual outcomes and enhance their overall quality of life. Our experienced surgeons, state-of-the-art technology, and commitment to patient-centered care make Acibadem Healthcare Group the ideal choice for individuals seeking exceptional eye care.
Preparing for Cataract Surgery
Prior to undergoing cataract surgery, it is important to be well-prepared for the procedure. At Acibadem Healthcare Group, we prioritize personalized care and guidance to ensure a successful cataract surgery experience. Here’s what you need to know:
Evaluations and Assessments
Before your cataract surgery, our skilled ophthalmologists will perform thorough preoperative evaluations. These assessments include a comprehensive eye examination to determine the severity of your cataracts and assess your overall eye health. Additionally, measurements of your eyes will be taken to determine the appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) power for your replacement lens.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Prior to the surgery, you may be advised to make certain lifestyle adjustments. These adjustments can include temporarily discontinuing the use of certain medications that may interfere with the surgery or recovery process. It is important to follow your ophthalmologist’s instructions carefully to minimize any potential risks or complications.
The Procedure
Cataract surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day. The surgery involves the removal of the clouded natural lens and the insertion of an artificial IOL. The procedure is usually quick and virtually painless, thanks to local anesthesia.
During the surgery, your ophthalmologist will make a small incision in your eye and use advanced techniques to break up and remove the cataract. The artificial IOL will then be carefully implanted to restore clear vision. Acibadem Healthcare Group utilizes state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure precise and safe cataract surgery.
Recovery and Follow-up
Following the surgery, you will be provided with detailed instructions for your recovery period. It is vital to follow these instructions to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. You may be prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and promote healing.
Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and assess the success of the surgery. These appointments allow your ophthalmologist to ensure that your vision is improving and that your eyes are healing properly.
At Acibadem Healthcare Group, we are committed to providing comprehensive care before, during, and after cataract surgery. Our team of expert ophthalmologists and dedicated staff will guide you through the entire process, ensuring a positive outcome and improved vision for a better quality of life.
