Cataracts "I was recommended laser surgery with the Catalys technique to remove the cataract that was developing in my left eye. I didn’t feel any pain during the operation, it was fast and I was awake throughout. I was already seeing clearly again the very next day and went straight back to normal daily life" |
With what problem do you arrive at Oftalvist?
I contact the Oftalvist clinic with the beginning of cataracts in both eyes and a risk of glaucoma.
What prevents you from performing your ocular pathology in your day to day and how does it affect you?
He led a normal life, without any type of impediment and the quality of life was good, although it depended on the use of glasses.
What do they ask you at the Oftalvist center where you go to improve your visual health?
Concerned about the risk of glaucoma that they warned me about, I decided to go to Oftalvist with my health insurance. The doctor, after a previous analysis and diagnosis of my eyes, informed me and recommended the Catalys femtosecond laser technique to eliminate cataracts in the first instance, which I had not talked about.
What does the surgery consist of?
What is certain is that my experience in the operating room was very good. I didn't feel any pain, it was fast and I was awake. I was surprised that at one point during the operation I had to walk to another room for the doctor to finish the operation, since you first go through the laser machine (Catalys) where the cataract is removed and then they make you go to another room where the doctor introduces with another surgical team the appropriate lens.
How is the postoperative period?
I leave the operating room seeing blurry through the laser-operated eye. Since last week I had surgery on the other eye and my vision was very good, I understand that this first feeling is the usual one. The next day I can see clearly and I begin to lead a normal life, taking into account some precautions such as avoiding gaining weight, etc.
Finally, what can you do now, that you couldn't do before, in your routine life?
Everything that implies not wearing glasses. Now I can see clearly near and far, much better than when I had glasses.
