Cataract is a widespread ophthalmic disease, declaring itself by a consistent opacity of the eye lens and decreasing of visual acuity. It’s important to treat cataract in proper time due to the progressive nature of the pathology in order to avoid complete loss of vision.

The first symptoms appear as slight dimming in front of the eyes, the appearance of so-called “flies”. The initial stage in which these symptoms are not in progress can last up to fifteen years. Then one may face the following visual complications: decreasing of twilight and night vision; vagueness that cannot be improved; problems with color sensing; loss of object vision.

This disease is considered to be age-related; however, there is congenital cataract, the causes of which are intrauterine infection of the fetus, alcohol and drug abuse during pregnancy or some hereditary diseases.

The main advantages of flexible Intraocular Lens (IOL)

• can be introduced through a small incision and no suturing is required
• fast postoperative period of vision recovery
• exceptional biocompatibility, location stability and centering, which is the prevention of re-cataract formation
• all lenses are kept in a disposable injector, which enables the maintenance of complete sterility during implantation

Aspheric intraocular lenses have all of these advantages and, which is more, they are "non-aberrational", i.e. they give to the patient:

• improved vision clarity features
• excellent contrast sensitivity
• better vision in low light
• all such lenses are put in a disposable injector, which helps to maintain complete sterility while doing implantation

The lens allows you to remove cataract and correct astigmatism at the same time. 40% of patients have astigmatism. It is impossible to obtain the maximum possible indicators of vision without correction of astigmatism. This lens combines the latest technological advances. It allows you to improve the quality of vision (brightness, clarity, and contrast) and the recognition of objects under such difficult conditions for the eye as fog, twilight, rain and snow. It gives benefits to patients who drive a car, increases the time for the reaction to changing traffic situations. The yellow lens filter protects the retina and the natural colors of objects after surgery. Due to the lens material, the likelihood of secondary cataract is minimized.

Benefits

• reduction of residual refraction cylinder
• improvement of visual acuity for distance without correction
• increased degree of freedom from glasses for distance

Acrysof IQ (SN60WF) (Alcon, the USA) - 24 500 UAH per 1 eye

the best model of a monofocal IOL of the American company Alcon

In addition to the advantages of a monoblock lens (ideal biocompatibility with eye tissues), this model has a unique feature - a yellow optical filter. It protects the retina from the harmful blue spectrum of light and the development of such a dangerous disease as macular dystrophy. Such a lens embodies the latest technological advancement - aspherical optics. It contributes to a significant improvement not only in visual acuity, but also in the quality of vision (clarity, brightness, contrast). In addition, this IOL provides high stability of visual acuity both in strong and in low light conditions of objects.

Benefits

• monoblock design
• material - hydrophobic Acrysof® acrylic
• aspherical optics
• improved vision clarity, excellent contrast sensitivity, increased depth of acuity
• yellow filter - retina protection

SA60AT (Alcon, the USA) - 20 500 UAH per 1 eye

the basic model of the IOL of the American company Alcon

A monoblock lens, the optical part and the supporting elements of which are made of a single material - hydrophobic AcrySof acrylic. It is absolutely inert towards the eye: the human organism does not perceive it as a foreign body and does not reject it accordingly. When installing this type of lens, the appearance of secondary cataract is practically eliminated, and the period of getting used to it is minimal. Currently more than 40 million SA60AT lenses have been implanted in the world.

Benefits

• monoblock design
• improved shape of support elements
• material - hydrophobic Acrysof® acrylic (significantly reduces the risk of secondary cataract, ideal biocompatibility)

Causes of Cataract

More than 30% of elderly patients notice a gradual decrease in vision associated with a slowdown in metabolic processes and the declaring of cataract symptoms. Initial opacity of the lens is mainly developing for men and women at the age of forty, but in recent years there has been a decrease in the age threshold for prevalence of the disease. Cases of childhood cataract caused by a hereditary factor are not uncommon.

Treatment of cataract, the price of which is determined taking into account the staging of the pathological process, may be primarily required for patients suffering from hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma, and the consequences of eyeball injuries. Risk factors necessitating the treatment of cataract with a laser also include alcohol abuse, smoking, frequent contact with sources of ultraviolet or thermal radiation, prolonged use of corticosteroids.

Cataract Symptoms

The effectiveness of cataract surgical treatment depends on the timeliness of medical care. An indication for an operative ophthalmic examination is the appearance of alarming symptoms, which include the following:

• decreased visual clarity - a feeling of “film on the eye”, opacity, especially in the evening and at night
• photosensitivity - the difficulty of focusing your eyes on objects in bright light, a painful reaction to the closeness of artificial light sources
• a change in the colors sensing (fading images, a constant “presence” of yellow-brown shades in the field of view)
• frequent need to change glasses

When revealing a typical clinical appearance, complete restoration of vision is possible by replacing a clouded lens with an intraocular lens, the price of which will largely determine the cost of cataract treatment.

Surgical treatment of cataract is the key to quick recovery of vision

Progressive lenticular opacity is not only a medical problem, but also a practical one. Conscientious refusing to treat cataract of the eye threatens the development of myopia, iridocyclitis, and secondary glaucoma and increases the likelihood of complete loss of vision. Cataract significantly reduces the quality of life, forcing to reconsider the usual way of life, abandon work responsibilities and hobbies. Meanwhile, treatment of cataract at the initial stage is more effective than eliminating a neglected form of pathology; therefore, it is not appropriate to postpone seeking medical help hoping to change the situation.

Conducting of a safe microsurgical operation, during which the IOL is implanted, allows you to restore clarity of vision and maintain the ability to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

The cost of cataract laser treatment

The cost of treating primary, secondary cataract at OK Center is calculated taking into account the price of the selected intraocular lens and the current price list for medical services. Direct cataract removal is only part of the operation, and the cost of the IOL depends on its functional features and the pricing policy of the manufacturing company. It should be noted that the website presents the cost of microsurgery per one eye, so if you need to replace both lenses, the amount of treatment must be doubled.

Detailed information on the treatment of cataract, the selection of IOLs, preoperative preparation and postoperative recovery is provided during the initial examination. You can read feedbacks about cataract laser treatment on the website, ask clarifying questions and make an appointment with OK Center specialists most conveniently via our contacts.
