Cataract Surgery
A safe and precise surgery in the hands of an internationally renowned surgeon
Remove the cataract and restore visual clarity
What is a cataract?
A cataract is the progressive loss of transparency of the eye’s natural lens, causing blurred vision, loss of contrast, and difficulty driving or reading.
The surgery involves replacing the clouded lens with a clear intraocular lens, restoring visual quality.
Cataract surgery plan
A structured process, designed for your peace of mind and the best results.
01
Comprehensive evaluation
We perform a thorough assessment of your eye health using state-of-the-art technology. This includes precise biometric measurements of the eye, corneal topography, retinal evaluation, and a detailed analysis of your visual needs to determine the most suitable treatment.
02
Personalised plan
Based on the results of your evaluation, Dr. Ferreira designs a tailored surgical plan. Together, we select the most suitable intraocular lens according to your lifestyle, daily activities, and visual expectations—whether for distance vision, near vision, or both.
03
Outpatient surgery
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, under topical anaesthesia, in a controlled, maximum-security environment. The surgery takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes per eye. Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within the first few hours and can resume their normal activities within a few days.
04
Structured follow-up
After surgery, we schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress and ensure visual stability. Dr. Ferreira personally oversees every stage of your recovery, ensuring that the results are optimal and long-lasting.
