Cataract surgery

Replacement of the clouded natural lens with an artificial lens.

About Cataract surgery

Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision and reduced quality of life. Cataract surgery is the most effective treatment, involving the removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). In Turkey, cataract surgery is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques and phacoemulsification technology, ensuring high precision and quick recovery. Patients benefit from customised IOL options, including multifocal lenses that restore both near and distance vision. HealMinded connects patients with Turkey’s top ophthalmic surgeons, providing affordable treatment packages, modern facilities, and personalised care. With high success rates and minimally invasive approaches, cataract surgery in Turkey helps patients regain clear vision and improve their daily lives.
