Cataracts occur when the eye's lens becomes cloudy, resembling a dusty window. Some of the key symptoms of cataracts include:

• Blurred vision without pain
• Decreased night vision.
• Double vision in the affected eye
• Fading and yellowing of colors

It is important to note that these symptoms can also be present in other diseases, which is why a definitive diagnosis of cataracts is made through an examination by an ophthalmologist.

There are two surgical methods available for cataract treatment: Phacoemulsification (Phaco) and Femto cataract surgeries. You can choose one of these methods based on your conditions.

• Duration of preoperative examinations and tests: half a day
• Preparation time for surgery until discharge: approximately 2 hours
• Duration of surgery: approximately 10 to 15 minutes
• Time to return to normal activities: typically after one day
• Success rate of this treatment method: over 100% (if there are no retinal issues present)
