The only treatment option for cataracts is surgery. Mono-focal lenses are designed to see the distance clearly. *Lens Replacement Surgery Method and Procedure* Cataract surgery is typically performed with the phacoemulsification method, needle-free, and suture-free. After the eye is anesthetized in the surgery, the cataract part is removed by creating an opening in front of the natural lens. Typically, instead of the natural lens, a new artificial intraocular lens is placed according to the eye's needs and numbers. The operation is completed in twenty minutes. You will be asked to rest for half an hour after the operation. You will be asked to come for a check-up 1 day after the operation. Our patients are generally comfortable because the surgeries are usually performed with numbing anesthetic drops. Three to four days after the operation, the person can return to work. If you work in a dusty environment, you should rest for at least two weeks. Do not drive on the day of surgery to minimize recovery time and complications. Avoid bathing for 4 days to minimize the risk of infection. We ask you not to enter the pool and the sea for 2 weeks. Avoid activities such as lifting heavy objects and bending over for several weeks. Do not put unnecessary pressure on the eyes. Do not rub your eyes after surgery. You may feel itchy eyes for a while, but this is normal. Do not expose your eyes to dust as this can increase the risk of complications. Take the eye drops prescribed by your doctor. Shortly after the surgery, most of our patients report that their vision has improved. However, recovery continues the week after surgery and vision continues to improve. The surgically placed artificial intraocular lens replaces the natural lens and is not on the surface. So you can't feel this lens like a contact lens. It is designed to last a lifetime.
