Refractive Cataract Surgery vs. Basic Cataract Surgery:

Basic cataract surgery relies on standard, monofocal lenses, leaving common vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism uncorrected. As a result, patients may still need bifocals glasses to see clearly at different distances.

At EUROEYES, we offer refractive cataract surgery, an advanced form of the procedure that restores vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, reducing or eliminating the need for readers or bifocals. Our personalized approach involves using multifocal and Toric IOLs that are customized to meet the unique needs of each patient.

Procedure in summary:

  • Both eyes are typically done on the same day
  • After the one-day post-op, patients can typically return to their regular daily activities, with a few restrictions
  • Patients can anticipate significant visual improvement in the following days
  • During the following weeks, patients will use antibiotic and anti inflammatory eye drops
  • Our doctors follow our patients' recovery with regular post-op visits throughout the weeks following surgery

Don't let cataracts stop you living life to the full. Schedule a consultation with our team of expert specialists today and take the first step towards sharper, clearer vision.

Our German Carl Zeiss technologies are the first step in determining your eligibility for a procedure. Your eyes will be examined using the most advanced diagnostic tests and technologies available. During your consultation, we'll take the time to understand your unique needs and concerns and develop your personalised treatment plan.

Multifocal Lenses

Multifocal Lenses

1,Preparation of the eye

The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes 15 minutes per eye. Before the procedure, the eye is anesthetized with drops so that the patient does not feel any pain during refractive lens exchange. The eye is opened with a tiny corneal incision, which heals seamlessly.

2,Removal of the lens

The anterior lens envelope is opened in a circular fashion. Then the lens core is removed. The rest of the lens envelope remains and serves as a ‘holding apparatus’ for the new lens.

3,The trifocal and multifocal lens

Each patient receives a trifocal/multifocal lens that is ideally adapted to his or her individual needs. This well-tolerated artificial lens can remain permanently in the eye and is not visible.

4,Implantation of the trifocal and multifocal lens

The surgeon inserts the new lens into the eye with an injector. The lens unfolds and is properly placed in the empty lens envelope by the surgeon. The trifocal/multifocal lens corrects presbyopia in addition to other existing vision disorders (near-, farsightedness and astigmatism).
