Cataract surgery is one of the most common and effective surgical methods performed today. The phacoemulsification (FAKO) technique, commonly known as "laser surgery" among the public, is generally used. In this minimally invasive operation, a hardened cataract is broken up and aspirated through an incision smaller than approximately 2 mm, and a custom intraocular lens (IOL) is then inserted in its place.
The phacoemulsification method offers significant advantages for patients, as it is stitchless, painless, and performed with drop anesthesia. For most patients, needle-free drop anesthesia is sufficient, and the operation typically lasts 20-30 minutes. Patients can usually return to their daily lives within 2-3 days.
The use of premium intraocular lenses, especially multifocal and trifocal smart lenses, has significantly increased patient comfort after cataract surgery. Thanks to these advanced technology lenses, patients can achieve clear vision at both far and near distances without needing glasses after the operation. These lenses eliminate the need for glasses, thereby improving quality of life. Furthermore, in individuals who do not have cataracts but have high refractive errors, a transparent intraocular lens can be replaced with a smart lens using the same surgical principles. This procedure is performed to provide glasses-free and higher quality vision at all distances.
