Cataract Surgery Slovakia

Cataract means reduced transparency (opacity) and hardening of the eye lens that is normally clear. Most often we experience cataract after 60 years of age. Among the risk factors for cataract occurrence are mainly age, general diseases, diabetes, using some medicines on a long-term basis, smoking and eye injury. The surgery takes place in an ambulatory setting. It takes about 10 minutes. The patient can leave home immediately after the surgery. The cloudy lens is painlessly crushed with ultrasound and drained. The eye surgeon implants new artificial AcrySof Natural yellow lens instead of it. The surgery is performed with up to 2.2 mm microincision.The NeoVize EyeClinic provides the patients with the best that is available to the medical science, at the base price.

RLE or refractive lens exchange is non-laser surgery during which an optical element (intraocular lens) is permanently implanted in the eye. The intraocular lens replaces the original human lens, the dioptric value of which did not correspond to the dioptric condition of the eye. Refractive lens exchange is suitable for patients over 40 years of age with disorders beyond the scope of laser surgery. Quite painlessly, RLE is performed in the operating theatre of the outpatient clinic and the surgery takes about 15 minutes. Intraocular lenses are produced by Alcon, an American company, and have been approved for use by the European Union and the USFDA. The main advantage of RLE is that it is possible to remove any number of diopters through this method. RLE is also a preventive treatment - patients after refractive lens exchange are no more at risk of cataract and the risk of paroxysmal glaucoma is substantially reduced. Therefore, RLE is an excellent choice for patients in which a high number of diopters is combined with familial predisposition to cataract and glaucoma. To patients who would also like to get rid of reading glasses, we recommend the PRELEX method, which is refractive lens exchange completed with so-called multifocal intraocular lens implantation.
