What is Laser Cataract surgery?

Cataracts not only cause inconvenience in the daily life of patients but are also the leading cause of blindness if not treated promptly. When a patient has cataracts, the amount of protein in the eye will concentrate into clumps, blocking light from reaching the retina, causing vision to gradually decline. Patients may even face the risk of complications such as glaucoma, uveitis, ... causing severe eye pain and headaches, even having to remove the eyeball in cases of late treatment.

In recent years, cataract surgery with Laser (Laser Cataract) has become an effective solution to restore vision for patients and limit complications after surgery. Laser Cataract is performed with the mechanism of crushing the cloudy lens out, then replacing it with an artificial lens suitable for the eye to improve vision for the patient.

This is considered a breakthrough in cataract treatment thanks to the replacement of some of the surgeon's manual operations with lasers such as creating incisions, creating anterior lens capsule tears, and splitting the opaque lens. Thanks to the application of modern Femtosecond Laser technology of the Catalys machine (Johnson & Johnson - USA), this method brings outstanding benefits to patients such as precise incisions in both incision width and capsule tear lines, better preservation of corneal endothelial cells, reduced risk of infection and secondary astigmatism after surgery, while combining astigmatism treatment, quick surgery and recovery time, optimal and stable visual quality.

Suffering from cataracts due to old age, Mr. Pham Van Chien (66 years old, Quang Ninh) has encountered many inconveniences in his daily life for many years. In particular, at the most recent time, Mr. Chien could not read clearly on books, newspapers, and phones despite constantly changing glasses. His eyesight was increasingly declining, he was too dependent on glasses, and his eyes were increasingly sore and tired, so Mr. Chien decided to visit and have cataract surgery at Japan International Eye Hospital.

Successfully restoring vision from 2/10 to 7/10 in the left eye and from 3/10 to 8/10 in the right eye, the patient shared: “If the surgery had been performed earlier, I could have achieved vision of 9-10/10. Although a bit regretful, I am still very satisfied with the current results because my vision has become clearer and life is much less inconvenient than before. Being able to put away my reading glasses helps me feel more confident and happy.”

During the examination and treatment, Mr. Chien was satisfied with the attentive, polite and friendly care service of all the medical staff at the Japan International Eye Hospital. In particular, the patient was very impressed with the image of ThS.
