As a health tourism agency, My Dr Türkiye facilitates access to cataract surgery, performed by expert ophthalmologists at accredited healthcare facilities. Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure designed to remove cloudy lenses and restore clear vision, helping patients regain their quality of life.
How Does Cataract Surgery Work?
- The cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL).
- The procedure is minimally invasive, performed through a small incision in the eye.
- Local anesthesia is used, and the surgery is typically completed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day.
- Vision improvement is noticeable shortly after the surgery, with continued enhancement in the following days.
