Cataract Surgery

We provide patients with a comprehensive ophthalmological examination using state-of-the-art equipment for the diagnosis of cataract. Based on the medical history, test results, and clinical examination, the doctor will inform you whether cataract surgery is necessary.

The patient is informed about the available intraocular lens options that provide the desired visual outcome, tailored to their individual needs (work, daily activities, etc.).

Patients’ visual needs vary depending on their lifestyle and daily activities. For this reason, achieving the desired vision after surgery is a complex process that requires close collaboration between the doctor and the patient.

Cataract surgery lasts approximately 15 minutes, is painless, and bloodless. Surgeon Ophthalmologist Diakonis Vasilios has specialized in cataract surgery in the USA and brings extensive experience, which—combined with the clinic’s advanced equipment—ensures the best possible outcome for the patient.

Traditional cataract surgery is performed using ultrasound (phacoemulsification) to break up and remove the cloudy lens. Our clinic is equipped with a laser system for cataract surgery, which reduces surgical time and trauma, and can also help minimize astigmatism.

The patient does not require hospitalization and returns home the same day without an eye patch. Vision is restored within a few days, while the patient uses eye drops for several weeks following the surgery.
