Advanced Cataract Surgery Hospital in Dubai

Multifocal IOLs are a type of prosthetic lens used in cataract surgery. During cataract or lens replacement surgery, the patient’s natural lenses are replaced with multifocal IOLs. These new lenses improve near, intermediate, and far-distance vision.
  • Multifocal IOLs can decrease your need for reading glasses or computer glasses after cataract surgery. These implanted lenses expand your range of vision, so you can see clearly at near and far without additional eyewear.

Cataract Surgery Treatment at Imperial Healthcare

Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed, and also one of the safest and most effective.

At Imperial Healthcare, we use the most sophisticated, advanced and safe technology and techniques to clear the cloudy lens by gentle ‘phacoemulsification’ surgery requiring only eye drop anesthesia (topical) and without needing any stitches. The combination of a highly accurate lens measurement
system (lenstar biometry) and premium intra-ocular lenses allows us to ensure a high percentage of complete spectacle freedom after surgery. So you can achieve clear spectacle-free vision by a 20 minute painless procedure without the use of any needles, injections or stitches. You can usually
return home half an hour after the procedure and get back to your usual activities including work within a matter of days. We recognize that this procedure is only required once in your lifetime
therefore we ensure that nothing but the best is used to perform this treatment. We have best Cataract Surgeon at our Hospital to perform all the operation.

  • Phacoemulsification Procedure
  • Phacoemulsification is a variation of extracapsular cataract extraction, a procedure in which the lens and the front portion of the capsule are removed, by making an incision.

The development of a cataract is common in aged individuals due to related changes that occur in the structure of the lens proteins. Cataracts can also be inherited or can develop in infants as a result of infections in the mother during pregnancy. They can form as a complication of other diseases such as glaucoma and diabetes, or can develop after certain injuries. Prolonged use of corticosteroid inhalers and eye drops, and excessive exposure to UV rays, X-rays and other radiation during radiotherapy, can increase the risk of cataract formation.

To assess the impact of the cataract on your vision your doctor will perform a Visual Acuity Test where the patient reads an eye chart from a particular distance with one eye at a time. The doctor then examines the cornea, iris, and lens to detect any abnormalities.

Aftercare

Immediately following surgery, the patient is monitored in an outpatient recovery area. The patient is advised to rest for at least 24 hours, until he or she returns to the surgeon’s office for follow-up.

There will be some changes in the eye during recovery. Patients may see dark spots, which should disappear a few weeks after surgery. There also might be some discharge and itching of the eye. Patients may use a warm, moist cloth for 15 minutes at a time for relief and to loosen the matter. Pain and sensitivity to light are also experienced after surgery.
After a multifocal lens implantation, your vision will begin to improve gradually. You will be provided with instructions on eye care. Some mild itching and discomfort may be present for the first few days. You should avoid rubbing or applying pressure on your eyes. You will be prescribed medications and eye drops to reduce your discomfort and to prevent infections. Your doctor may advise you to use a patch over your eye at night until healing occurs. Complete healing will occur within eight weeks. But, some patients may have problems with night vision (viewing rings around lights at night time) until the brain adjusts to the new multifocal intraocular implant. You will need to follow up with your eye doctor in one or two days.

Risks

Complications are unlikely, but can occur. Patients may experience spontaneous bleeding from the wound and recurrent inflammation after surgery. Flashing, floaters, and double vision may also occur a few weeks after surgery. Other possible complications are the onset of glaucoma. It is possible that a secondary cataract may develop in the remaining back portion of the capsule. This can occur for as long as one to two years after surgery. YAG capsulotomy, using a laser, is most often usedfor the secondary cataract.
