Surgical Treatment of Cataracts

The primary and radical method for treating cataracts is the surgical removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with an artificial intraocular lens. 1 By replacing the natural lens with an artificial one, vision is fully restored. 2 The artificial lens does not become cloudy and is implanted permanently

A cataract is the partial or complete clouding of the lens, which leads to a decrease in visual acuity.

Glaucoma Treatment

There are several types of glaucoma, the most common of which is open-angle glaucoma.

There are several treatment options for open-angle glaucoma:

At the Lavanda Ophthalmological Center, glaucoma treatment is performed using the selective laser trabeculoplasty method. This technique improves the outflow of intraocular fluid through the trabecular system located in the angle of the anterior chamber.

The procedure is performed very quickly (in 2–5 minutes) and is highly effective, reducing intraocular pressure by up to 30%. This makes it a viable first-line treatment, eliminating the need for constant use of eye drops, or in some cases, reducing the number and/or frequency of their use. As a result, the patient’s quality of life can be significantly improved.
