Frequently Asked Questions About Cataract

A cataract is an age-related clouding of the eye’s natural lens that leads to a gradual decline in
vision. Cataract surgery can restore clear eyesight.

2. How do I know if I have a cataract?

Common symptoms include blurred vision, increased sensitivity to glare, difficulty reading or
driving at night, and a general reduction in visual clarity. An eye exam can confirm the
diagnosis.

Surgery is recommended when cataracts start to interfere with daily activities such as reading or
driving. Your eye doctor will assess your vision and determine the right time for the procedure.

The clouded lens is painlessly removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens. The procedure
takes just a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients experience
noticeable vision improvement within hours.

There are different lens options, including:

• Monofocal lenses – for clear vision at a single distance

• Multifocal lenses – for sharp vision at multiple distances

• Toric lenses – to correct astigmatism

We will help you choose the best lens based on your vision needs and lifestyle.

Most patients can see clearly the next day, and full recovery is typically achieved within a week.
Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the healing process.

Yes, cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures worldwide. With
cutting-edge technology and the expertise of Prof. Shajari in Frankfurt, the surgery is highly
precise and carries minimal risk.

In most cases, public health insurance covers standard cataract surgery with a monofocal lens.
Premium lenses, such as multifocal or toric lenses, may require an additional out-of-pocket cost –
we are happy to advise you on your options.

For the first few days, avoid heavy lifting, rubbing your eyes, and excessive straining. Your
doctor will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

No, as the clouded lens is completely removed. However, in rare cases, a secondary clouding of the
lens capsule (posterior capsular opacification) may occur. This can be easily treated with a quick
laser procedure.
