Cataract
Cataracts are a common cause of progressive vision loss after the age of 40. There are other reasons that accelerate its occurrence (diabetes, trauma, cortisone, …). It’s progressive and irreversible. So if we don’t have surgery, it won’t improve. The diagnosis must be made by an ophthalmologist after a full eye exam
Symptoms

Treatment
The operation to be performed would consist in the insertion of an intraocular lens. This technology is called PRELEX technology and offers a number of advantages:
- Allows correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism at the same time
- It is not painful as the incision is very small.
- Quick recovery.
- Without hospitalization.
- We operate on both eyes in the same procedure, which usually takes about 30 minutes.
