Kayseri Cataract Surgery Prices

Cataract is an eye condition that develops when the eye's natural lens, located behind the pupil, gradually loses its transparency. Cataracts, which typically appear later in life, are treated with surgery. Cataract surgery prices vary depending on the brand of intraocular lens used during the procedure. There are different types of permanent lenses used in cataract surgery, and different manufacturers of these lenses set different pricing. Therefore, one of the main factors determining cataract surgery prices is the type and brand of the permanent lens used.

What Is a Cataract?

The eye has a natural lens that allows you to see clearly and sharply. As we age, spots can form on the surface of this lens, causing it to lose its transparency. This chemical change is what is known as a cataract. A cataract forming on the eye's lens causes a significant decline in vision quality. Left untreated, cataract progression can eventually lead to complete vision loss. For this reason, every patient with cataracts is advised to undergo cataract surgery, which is the only treatment for this condition.

How Is Cataract Surgery Performed?

For patients with advanced cataracts, the only available treatment is cataract surgery. In this surgery, the eye's clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with a permanent lens that can be safely used for a lifetime. Cataract surgery uses the phaco (phacoemulsification) technique. In this method, a micro incision is made at the edge of the eye, through which the cataractous natural lens is broken up using sound waves and removed. The permanent lens is then inserted through the same incision. This stitch-free procedure allows for a very fast recovery.

Is Cataract Surgery Risky?

All surgeries carry an inherent surgical risk, and cataract surgery is no exception. Beyond the general surgical risk, procedure-specific risks are minimal. Given the very high success rates achieved with such a low level of risk, this treatment method holds a very important place in eye care. Because it is the only solution for cataracts and has such a high success rate, cataract surgery is performed very frequently.
