The Eye Cataract surgery involves removal of part of the lens is opacified to restore vision to the eye. In general they tend to replace them by an artificial lens is placed on the same site as the original crystalline (Intraocular lens), or restoring vision was lost as a result cataracts.
Description
The surgery is performed in a hospital or clinic. Children under general anesthesia and adults can be done awake or slightly numbed with anesthetic local.
STEP 1 - Extraction of cataract
It makes a small incision in the edge of the lining of the eye (cornea). It uses a special microscope.
There are three types of operations to remove the lens of the eye has a cataract:
Extracapsular surgery.
The surgeon removes the lens of the eye, but left in place the back of the capsule.
Surgery intracapsular.
The surgeon removes the lens of the eye completely, including the capsule. This technique is obsolete
Phaco-emulsification.
In this type of extracapsular surgery, the surgeon uses ultrasound to soften the lens of the eye and so it can be remove using a suction needle. The back of the lens capsule is left inside.
STEP 2 - IOL Reposicón
It place an artificial lens (IOL) into the eye (intraocular) to correct vision without glasses or lenses. The incision is closed with very fine stitches (sutures).
Expectations after surgery
The result of cataract surgery is optimal. The operation has few risks, the period of convalescence and pain are minimal and the improvement of vision is notable (95% or more of all cataract operations are improved vision).
Possible complications of cataract surgery in particular:
Voltage elevated eye
Accumulation blood inside the eye
Infection within the eye
That damage or move the artificial lens
