Cataract care
Robotic Cataract Surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that gradually makes vision hazy, dulls colours and increases glare. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens with a clear artificial lens. At AKH it is performed as a modern, small-incision procedure with a choice of lens options, and robotic technology supports the surgeon during the procedure.
Why an evaluation matters
Cloudy or misty vision, glare from headlights, fading colours and spectacles that no longer help are common signs of cataract, but they can also point to other eye conditions. An ophthalmology evaluation confirms the cause, checks the health of the rest of the eye and tells you whether, and when, surgery is the sensible next step.
