Before undergoing cataract surgery, it is crucial to understand and consider several factors:
Doctor
The role of the doctor is paramount. The success of your eye surgery heavily depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon. Ensuring the highest level of cleanliness and precision during the procedure is critical. An experienced doctor will guide you through the process and ensure the best outcomes.
Work-Up
Each person's eye has unique characteristics. A thorough work-up is necessary to gather precise measurements of the eye's length, width, and visual power. This includes several essential tests:
Advanced Examination: For premium surgeries, the following advanced tests are crucial:
IOL Power Calculation (IOL Master 700 Carl Zeiss): Determines the exact power of the intraocular lens needed, reducing the likelihood of needing glasses post-surgery.
i-Trace: Provides detailed information about the eye's optical system, aiding in selecting the right lens and surgical plan.
OCT + Fundus: Examines the retina and optic nerve to identify any pre-existing conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration that could affect surgery outcomes.
Disposable Items
Single-use disposable items are essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing infections during surgery:
Viscoat: An ocular viscosurgical device that protects the eye's structures, especially the cornea, during surgery. It helps maintain the shape of the eye and prevents damage, ensuring better post-operative vision.
Disposable Cassette: Used in the Callisto System for robotic surgery, ensuring the highest level of sterility and precision during the procedure. Following WHO guidelines, these should be used once to avoid any risk of infection.

Lens
Choosing the right lens is critical for achieving the best visual outcomes post-surgery. There are various types of lenses available:
Monofocal Lens: Provides clear vision at a single distance, often requiring glasses for near or far vision.
Beyond Monofocal/Advanced Monofocal Lens: Offers a higher depth of focus, reducing the need for glasses for both near and far vision.
Monofocal Toric Lens: Corrects astigmatism in addition to providing a fixed focus for a specific distance.
Multifocal, Trifocal, Trifocal Toric, & CRV Lens: Provides multiple focal points for clear vision at various distances, with toric versions also correcting astigmatism.
Operation Theatre
The operation theatre must be equipped with advanced technology and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness:
Callisto System: A robotic surgery system that provides precise placement of the toric lens at the correct axis, crucial for patients with astigmatism.
OCT + Fundus: Used intraoperatively to ensure the retina and optic nerve are healthy and to guide the surgery.
Toric
If you have a cylindrical power ( ASTIGMATISM) then you are a candidate for TORIC lens.
