The treatment of cataract

Often known as a cataract, a cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye. Think of the lens like a camera. When this becomes cloudy, the images appear blurry. This is called a cataract.

Aging processes are mostly the reason for cataracts. But diseases, medications or injuries can also play a role.

Immediate treatment is not always necessary. However, if you notice that your vision is declining or you are having difficulty driving, you should make an appointment with us for a checkup, but always no later than age 60.

The cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens. This is done through an operation that takes only a few minutes and is painless.

Although any surgery carries risks, cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures in the world. Our eye surgeon, Dr. Boellert, makes sure everything goes smoothly.

Many patients feel a clear improvement the day after surgery. But it is good to give the eyes a few days to fully recover.

Currently, medications or eye drops cannot cure a cataract. Surgery is the only way to regain vision.

It depends on the type of lens you use and your vision. Some patients don't need glasses, others may only need them for reading.

Yes, this is quite normal. But our team, including ophthalmic surgeon Dr. Boellert, will support you and answer all your questions.
