Premium Cataract

Cataract surgery today is also an opportunity to reorganize vision. Choosing the intraocular lens is both a clinical and a personal decision — it depends on the patient's eyes and daily routine.

The approach

Planning begins with precise biometric measurements and an assessment of the retina and cornea, which determine which lenses are truly suitable for that eye.

The conversation about expectations takes center stage: reading, night driving, screens and detailed work all weigh into the recommendation. The goal is not to sell technology, but to choose the solution that fits the patient's life.

  • Phacoemulsification

    A microincision technique with ultrasonic fragmentation of the lens and rapid visual recovery.

  • Monofocal and toric lenses

    Astigmatism correction combined with cataract treatment when indicated.

  • Extended depth of focus and multifocal lenses

    Options to reduce dependence on glasses, indicated after careful evaluation.

  • Complex cases

    Previously operated eyes, small pupils and advanced cataracts, managed with tailored planning.
