Cataract surgery is a personalized procedure.

Cataract surgery "personalized"

Eyes are like fingerprints, and each eye is different, so when you have a cataract, the condition of each eye will not be exactly the same.

Many doctors try to find a special intraocular lens that works for each clinical situation to treat all cataract patients. However, no one intraocular lens is suitable for all patients, so cataract surgery must be "personalized".

In simple terms,
The doctor will take the patient's needs and optical aberration curve,
Develop appropriate intraocular lenses individually.

Factors to consider include:

  • Age of the patient
  • lifestyle
  • Expectations for vision
  • Status after refractive surgery
  • Corneal topographic map
  • Tomography scan
  • optical aberration
  • Healthy surface of the eyeball
  • Pupil size
  • Macular health

The new technology can accurately assess the above factors, so that doctors can tailor cataract surgery to the patient's eye condition, so that the patient can achieve the best vision after the operation.

In addition to evaluating technical aspects, doctors also recommend determining the appropriate intraocular lens based on visual needs, such as:

  • hobby
  • Whether or not to wear reading glasses
  • Close-range workload
  • Whether night driving is required, etc.

optimal vision after cataract surgery,
Depends on accurate assessment and measurement before surgery,
Surgical techniques and careful selection of implanted intraocular lenses.

Tailor-made procedures to an individual's eye condition can even help patients better correct astigmatism and/or presbyopia.

Astigmatism is when light is focused differently and blurs vision at long and close range; Presbyopia is the loss of near vision with age.

Therefore, cataract patients are no longer limited to simply replacing their cloudy cataract with implanted intraocular lenses, but through personalized cataract surgery to help patients obtain high-definition vision after cataract surgery.
