With CATALYS™ Precision Laser System technology and a selection of world-class premium lenses, cataract surgery at KMN EyeCare is designed to provide greater precision, better control, and optimal vision quality tailored to each patient's needs.
Not All Cataract Surgeries Are Performed with the Same Technology
Some cataract surgeries are still performed using conventional approaches.
At KMN EyeCare, patients have the option of undergoing surgery with the assistance of CATALYS™ Precision Laser System technology, which helps improve precision in the crucial stages of cataract surgery.
Because when it comes to vision, small details can make a big difference.
CATALYS™ is a femtosecond laser technology that helps doctors perform various critical stages of cataract surgery with a very high level of precision.
After a Cataract Is Removed, the Lens Determines the Quality of Vision
After the cloudy natural lens is removed, the doctor will replace it with an artificial lens (Intraocular Lens/IOL).
The choice of lens used will significantly impact the quality of vision after surgery, including comfortable vision at distance, intermediate, and near.
A team of ophthalmologists experienced in cataract surgeries of varying degrees of complexity.
Supported by the latest generation of diagnostic and surgical eye technology for more precise and measurable procedures.
Premium lenses are available from leading global manufacturers such as Alcon, Johnson & Johnson, and ZEISS.
Every patient has different visual needs. Therefore, technology and lens recommendations will be tailored to each patient's lifestyle and vision expectations.
Comprehensive support from examination, procedure, and recovery.
At KMN EyeCare, surgical success is measured by the quality of vision achieved by patients after surgery. Therefore, we routinely benchmark*) against international standards to evaluate cataract surgery outcomes.
Evaluation results show that postoperative visual acuity in KMN EyeCare patients consistently matches the benchmarks used by leading eye care centers worldwide.
*) Determination of Valid Benchmarks for Outcome Indicators in Cataracts Surgery, Hahn et al.
Cataracts are currently the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Cataracts are often caused by age. The word "cataract" comes from the Greek word "cataracta," which means waterfall. The name "waterfall" comes from the fact that when someone has a cataract, their vision becomes blurry, as if looking through a waterfall.
Cataract symptoms that commonly prompt patients to seek treatment include decreased visual acuity, blurred or hazy vision, reduced ability to see colors and brightness, difficulty driving at night, and frequent changes in eyeglass sizes. In more severe cases, cataracts can lead to complete vision loss (blindness).
With the latest cataract surgery equipment, KMN EyeCare offers cataract surgery that can be performed from the earliest stages of cataract so that the patient's vision can return completely.
The main cause of cataracts is the degeneration process due to aging. Other causes include trauma accidents, eye inflammation, congenital abnormalities, and other less common conditions.
Cataract surgery can be performed when cataracts begin to interfere with daily activities, such as reading, driving, working, or seeing comfortably. The sooner a cataract is treated before it becomes too mature, the easier the surgery is generally and the more optimal the visual outcome.
Johnson & Johnson's CATALYS™ Precision Laser System is an advanced laser technology that helps doctors perform several key steps in cataract surgery with a very high degree of precision. This technology uses high-resolution 3D imaging to help plan procedures more accurately based on the unique condition of each eye.
CATALYS™ helps doctors perform corneal incisions, opening the lens capsule (capsulotomy), and softening the cataract lens with greater precision. This technology also reduces the use of ultrasonic energy during surgery, making the procedure gentler on eye tissue.
Most cataract patients are candidates for surgery with CATALYS™ laser technology. However, the final decision will be made after a thorough examination by an ophthalmologist to ensure this technology is suitable for the patient's eye condition and visual needs.
No. Cataract surgery with CATALYS™ technology is performed under topical anesthesia, so patients generally do not feel pain during the procedure. In most cases, an anesthetic injection is not required.
Modern cataract surgery, whether phacoemulsification or CATALYS™ laser-assisted, is generally performed through very small incisions that do not require stitches. Patients can usually go home the same day and return to light activities within a short time, as recommended by the doctor.
At KMN EyeCare, for patient safety, cataract surgery is performed on one eye first. After surgery on the first eye, surgery on the second eye can be performed approximately one week later, according to the ophthalmologist's recommendation.
Because CATALYS™ provides a higher level of precision in the crucial stages of cataract surgery, enabling more personalized planning for each eye, and helping to achieve more consistent and comfortable results for patients.
CATALYS™ is one of the leading femtosecond laser platforms used globally to assist in modern cataract surgery and was developed by Johnson & Johnson Vision.
Every patient has different visual needs. KMN EyeCare provides lens options ranging from basic vision to the highest visual quality using more precise technology to support your daily activities. At KMN EyeCare, there are two cataract surgery package options:
