白内障手术
Restoring Clear Vision with Advanced Surgical Techniques, Premium Lens Options, & Minimal Discomfort
白内障影响超过78%的新加坡60岁以上人群。在新加坡，60岁以上的人群中，白内障的发病率极高。随着人口迅速老龄化，越来越多的人将面临这种影响视力的疾病。好消息是： 现代白内障手术是一种安全可靠的方法，可以去除白内障并恢复清晰视力。
什么是白内障？
白内障是指眼睛自然晶状体逐渐混浊，影响光线聚焦到视网膜，从而妨碍清晰视力。随着白内障的发展，晶状体会变得越来越浑浊，阻碍影像的清晰传递。结果就是： 若不及时治疗，视力将逐渐恶化。
白内障的成因与症状
虽然白内障通常在多年内缓慢形成，但多个因素可能导致或加速其发生：
- 老化：晶状体蛋白的年龄相关变化仍然是白内障最常见的原因。大约94%的75岁及以上人群患有白内障。
- 紫外线暴露： 终生累积的紫外线照射会增加患白内障的风险。
- 健康状况： 糖尿病、高血压、眼部受伤等都可能增加患病的可能性。
- 生活方式因素： 吸烟、过量饮酒
白内障的早期症状包括频繁更换眼镜度数、视力模糊、颜色感知减退、眩光以及夜间灯光周围出现光晕。这些视力障碍会逐渐加重，最终影响日常活动，如阅读、驾驶、识别人脸和看电视等。
幸运的是，新加坡的现代白内障手术可有效移除混浊的晶状体，并更换为清晰的人造晶体。配合术后使用的处方眼药水，视力通常可以恢复如初。

Cataract Symptoms We Need to Address
Our clinic in Singapore specializes in diagnosing and treating all stages of cataracts:
🟢 Early Cataracts
- Slightly blurred vision
- Increasing difficulty with night driving
- Needing brighter light for reading
- Frequent prescription changes
🔴 Moderate Cataracts
- Noticeable vision decline
- Significant glare around lights
- Faded color perception
- Difficulty with daily tasks
⚪ Advanced Cataracts
- Significant vision impairment
- Impact on independence and quality of life
- Potential development of secondary complications
Comprehensive Diagnosis & Assessment for Cataracts
We provide thorough eye examinations using advanced technology to accurately diagnose cataracts and plan your treatment.
Our Diagnostic Suite Includes:
✅ Comprehensive Eye Examination
- Complete assessment of your eye health and vision quality.
✅ Galilei G4 Technology
- Combines Placido disc–based topography, Scheimpflug tomography, and optical biometry
- Provides complete data for comprehensive screening
- Accurately measures anterior corneal curvature
- Precisely detects anterior surface irregularities and tear film quality
- Measures pachymetry and elevation data with 3D anterior chamber analysis
Galilei G4
Galilei G4 专业型晶状体分析仪集 Placido 圆盘地形图、Scheimpflug 断层扫描成像和光学生物测量于一体。该组合可在一次测量中提供全面数据，用于白内障或屈光手术（如 LASIK、PRK、ASA 等）的综合评估。
Galilei G4 的角膜地形图功能可精确测量角膜前表面曲率，准确识别前表面不规则状况及泪膜质量。
Galilei G4 的角膜断层扫描功能可精准测量角膜厚度和表面高度，并提供三维前房结构分析。通过光线追踪后角膜表面数据，能在角膜病变早期阶段识别突出或不对称的情况。
✅ IOLMaster 700
IOLMaster 700
IOLMaster 700 是首款基于扫频源光学相干断层扫描（OCT）的生物测量仪，能够成像并可视化整个眼轴长度。它配备了用于最新人工晶状体（IOL）计算公式的一整套生物参数。蔡司 IOLMaster 700 能测量所有适用于最新 IOL 计算公式（如完全整合的 Barrett 公式）的生物参数。其高度优化的扫描过程非常迅速，特别适合难以长时间注视的患者。
精确测量眼轴长度对准确计算 IOL 度数至关重要。虽然重复测量可提高计算准确度，但能够实现一次扫描即达到多次测量精度的设备更为理想。我们诊所配备的 IOLMaster 700 正具备这种能力。
✅ Customized Visual Assessment
- Evaluation of your specific visual needs based on occupation, lifestyle, and daily activities.

人工晶体技术：白内障手术后的视力矫正
在白内障被移除后，植入人工晶体（IOL）可恢复眼睛的聚焦能力。如今的白内障晶体采用先进设计，能够同时矫正原有的视力问题，从而减少患者术后对眼镜或隐形眼镜的依赖。
各类人工晶体介绍
单焦点人工晶体
（非球面/球面）
可矫正近视和远视。
散光矫正型人工晶体
可同时矫正散光及近视或远视。
多焦点人工晶体
（远距、近距和/或中距视力）
可矫正远视力及老花眼。也有多焦点晶体可同时矫正远视、老花眼及中距离视力（如电脑使用）。
三焦点人工晶体
可同时矫正远距、中距（如使用电脑）和近距视力，适合有老花眼的患者。
多焦点散光矫正型人工晶体
适合同时想要矫正大多数屈光不正及散光的患者。
延展焦点深度人工晶体（EDOF）
为想要同时矫正远距、近距和中距视力的患者设计。不同于三焦点晶体的技术，EDOF 晶体通过延伸焦点范围和深度来实现更清晰的视觉。
These are what lens technologies address:
Our specialists help you select the ideal lens based on your eye condition, visual goals, lifestyle, and budget. During your consultation, Dr. Jimmy Lim will discuss your needs and suggest the most appropriate artificial lens type.

Cataract Eye Surgery FAQs
1. I had LASIK years ago. How will this eye surgery interact with cataract treatment?
Cataract eye surgery remains just as safe and effective for LASIK patients. However, your post-cataract prescription and lens power needs may differ slightly since LASIK surgery previously altered corneal focusing. Customized measurements during consultation address this.
2. Is cataract eye operation possible on both eyes simultaneously?
Yes, bilateral same-day cataract surgery offers benefits like a one-year recovery period and reduced costs. However, the procedures are often split between two rooms and teams to avoid complications. Not all patients qualify based on their eye condition. Discuss options with your surgeon.
3. What occurs during the surgery?
The eye surgeon makes a small corneal incision, utilizes ultrasound waves or lasers to dismantle the cloudy lens carefully, and inserts a manufactured replacement intraocular lens. Local anesthesia prevents any pain, with vision restoring rapidly after.
4. How should I prepare for the procedure?
Avoid certain medications that may impact anesthesia or healing. Have eyedrops ready for post-surgery. Arrange transportation since you cannot drive immediately after. Eat a light meal beforehand, and wear comfortable clothes. Listen carefully to all pre- and post-procedure instructions.
5. What happens if you don’t treat your cataracts?
If cataracts are not treated, they will worsen, resulting in blurring of vision, if severe, may even lead to vision loss. Other possible complications, such as glaucoma, can also develop.
6. Is Cataract eye surgery safe?
Cataract surgery is generally considered safe. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, and vision loss. Your eye surgeon will be able to provide further information in greater detail about the risks and benefits of cataract surgery to help you make an informed decision.
7. How long is Cataract eye Surgery in Singapore?
Cataract surgery is typically a day procedure that takes about 30 minutes to an hour. The actual surgical time is usually less than 30 minutes. However, the process may take several hours, including preparation and recovery time.
8. How long does it take to recover from Cataract Surgery?
Recovery time after cataract surgery varies from person to person, but most people experience some improvement in their vision within a few days to a week. Complete recovery can take several weeks up to a month, during which time you may need to limit certain activities and follow your eye doctor’s instructions for post-operative care. Nevertheless, most people can return to normal daily activities, including driving and reading, within a few days to a week after surgery.
9. What are the types of vision correction you can expect from Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the natural lens of the eye that has become cloudy and replace it with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). Cataract surgery can correct various types of vision problems depending on the type of IOL used. After surgery, you will experience improved distance vision, so you may not need eyeglasses. Furthermore, IOLs can help correct astigmatism, and provide clear vision at different distances, such as computer and reading vision. It’s important to discuss your vision needs and preferences with your eye doctor before cataract surgery to determine the best type of IOL for you.
10. What are the risks and side effects of Cataract Eye Surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, cataract surgery carries a risk of complications. Most of these risks and side effects are rare and can be treated. Your surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits of cataract surgery with you and provide instructions for post-operative care to help reduce the risk of complications. It is crucial to follow these instructions carefully to promote a successful recovery.
