Cataract surgery
The natural lens is replaced by a modern lens
Lens replacement is an advanced procedure for treating cataracts and correcting refractive errors and presbyopia. The cloudy natural lens is replaced by a clear artificial lens so that you can see better again.
Finally see clearly again
The cloudy natural lens is removed and a clear lens is inserted.
The natural lens (dark brown here) becomes cloudy over the course of a person's life. This causes their vision to become increasingly worse. Vision becomes blurred and contrast perception decreases.
The artificial lens allows the light to pass through completely again. This means that you can see more clearly and finally have a high contrast again. With special lenses you can even become glasses-free.
The lens is replaced in 4 steps
The new lens is inserted in less than 10 minutes
Preparation
You will be given anaesthetic eye drops to make the treatment painless.
Distance
An incision of only 2mm is made through which the natural lens is removed.
Mission
The new artificial lens is inserted in place of the clouded lens.
Diploma
The incision is so small that it does not require stitches and heals on its own.

Advantages of lens replacement
Lens replacement brings many unique benefits.
Permanently
Once inserted, the artificial lens remains permanently in the eye.
Presbyopia
The new lens can effectively correct presbyopia.
recreation
Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days.
Comprehensive
Corrects various visual impairments such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism if desired.

In our everyday life we have to see in 3 distances
With the natural lens we can only see clearly at one distance after the age of 50
Close distance e.g. for reading a book
Medium distance e.g. for working on the monitor
Long distance e.g. for driving
Two different options for all 3 distances
During cataract surgery, special lenses can be used to make you free from glasses.
Trifocal
lenses
Trifocal lenses have several focal points and thus enable sharp vision at a distance, in the middle range (e.g. computer work) and up close (e.g. reading). However, the multiple refractions of light also lead to increased optical phenomena. However, over 95% of patients get used to it within 6 months and are very happy with this option.
Monofocal
Plus
lenses
The Monofocal Plus lenses offer excellent vision quality at a distance and at medium distances. Light reading glasses are usually still required after the operation. In some cases it makes sense to adjust one eye for distance and one eye for close vision in order to be less dependent on reading glasses - so-called blended vision.
There is no perfect option that works equally well for all patients. Choosing the right lens depends on the individual needs and the characteristics of the eye. Selecting the perfect lens requires the utmost expertise, so lens replacement should only be performed by a true specialist in lens surgery
