Cataract | Pearl Eye - Results

In today's era, the cataract operation is one of the most common operations which poses little risk and, when no other eye diseases are present, is carried out successfully in most cases. Around 90% of patients who are operated on achieve a visual acuity of 50-100%.8 For most patients, an improvement in visual acuity is realised on the very first day after the operation. The final condition usually sets in after a few days or weeks. Nevertheless, in most cases achieving optimal acuteness of vision means having to fall back on an eyesight aid (whose refractive power is determined by whether the new lens is designed for short- or far-distance viewing).⁹

As a rule, modern methods allow for the installation of an intraocular lens in every patient. This normally remains in the body for life without problems.
