Cataract removal

Cataract is the blurring of the lens of the eye, usually manifested in aging people and leading to significantly deteriorated vision.

Unfortunately, this disorder cannot be cured by laser or drugs, and in the past, it led to blindness. Today, only one cure is known, but with a perfect outcome: the blurred lens is surgically removed and replaced by a special plastic lens.

We use the most up-to-date American technology at our clinic, the ultrasound procedure called phacoemulsification, which follows the principle of minimal invasion. This surgical procedure requires a much smaller wound than traditional cataract operations. These wounds of only a few millimeters seal by themselves, so recovery is very fast. There is no need for general anesthesia, and the patient only has to spend one night away from home. This night is not spent in a hospital, but in a medically supervised hotel room with whoever came along with the patient on Margaret Island in Danubius Thermal Hotel.

Recently we have introduced in our institute the most modern artificial lens is available, which means the opportunity for sharp sight without any tool, you will need glasses neither for reading the newspaper, nor for going out! This lens is suitable for PRELEX (PREsbyopic Lens EXchange) surgery. Combined with our laser vision correction, virtually anybody eligible for these treatments.

The cost of the surgery includes one night in a two-bed room with medical supervision, the artificial lens and all other materials needed, and checkups.
