Cataract, commonly known as grey star, is the most common eye disease in the world. It usually occurs after 50 years of age, but can in rare cases even be innate. First signs of a disease are a cloudy visibility (see as a fog veil or semitransparent milk glass), light sensitivity (especially when driving at night) or visual disturbances when reading. The Grey Star is not curable by taking medicines – surgery is therefore essential! During the operation, the clouded lens is removed microsurgically and replaced by a new artificial lens (medically: intraocular lens or IOL for short). This allows the patient to return his quality of life. In most cases, outpatient treatment with local anesthesia of the eye is possible without problems. This means that patients can recover after the procedure in the usual home environment and go to the eye doctor the next day. The operative procedure itself takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Traditional ultrasound therapy For over 30 years, the treatment of the Grey Star has been carried out using ultrasound. Access to the interior of the eye takes place via a cut of a few millimeters, through which the clouded lens is comminuted and sucked off by means of ultrasound. Afterwards, an artificial lens, which is specially adapted to the patient, can be implanted. The final result, i.e. optimal visual acuity, is regularly established within three months of treatment.
