Preparation and Anesthesia:
Removal of the Cloudy Lens:
Insertion of the Artificial Lens:
Closure:
The entire procedure generally lasts 15-30 minutes, and most patients can go home the same day.
Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures worldwide. However, like any surgery, it has potential risks, including:

Although there are different techniques in cataract surgery applications, there is a common purpose for all of them. Cataract operation is an eye surgery microsurgery. All operations are performed under the microscope with the help of very small instruments.
The average duration of the operation is between 10-15 minutes, depending on the hardness of the cataract in the intraocular lens. The general application stages of the operation are as follows:
With trifocal lenses, patients can obtain clear vision at both near, far and intermediate viewing distances. Thus, the need for glasses is completely eliminated after the operation. Smart lenses can work like a natural intraocular lens and transmit the light coming into the eye from all distances to the retina.
Apart from all these lenses that can be applied to cataract patients, Toric lenses and Add-on (complementary lens) intraocular lens applications can also be applied to patients who require different treatments.
Like any surgical procedure, cataract surgery has certain risks. Since the operation is microsurgical, the success of the operation is directly related to the selection of the appropriate method for the appropriate patient, the experience of the ophthalmologist, the quality of the material and the sterilization of the operating room environment.
If there is no reason to reduce vision other than cataract in the eye, an eye that has undergone cataract surgery regains its former vision.
During cataract surgery, the lens placed in the eye can be adjusted to see far or near clearly. Thus, if the eye of the operated person is reset for distance, he can see the distance clearly without glasses, but he needs to use glasses for near. If the eye is made nearsighted with the lens inserted in the surgery, that person will be able to see near without glasses, but the need for glasses for distance will arise. If a multifocal lens is preferred, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism problems can be solved with a single lens.
No, surgery can be performed at any stage of the cataract, as soon as the cataract forms and the vision begins to decrease.
Lazy eye does not improve with cataract surgery. There are different treatment methods for lazy eye.
