INSTRUCTION DURING SURGERY
1.) Before the operation, you should wash your hair and clean your body.
2.) Two hours before the operation, you should not drink a lot of water to avoid voiding urine during the operation.
3.) During the operation, you should relax and lie motionless especially with your head because the doctor has to perform the operation using a microscope.
4.) If you have to cough, sneeze or move your body during the operation, please notify the doctor before.
5.) During the operation, you must fix your eyes all the time at the microscope.
6.) Sometimes you might hear some noise from the medical equipment but this is painless.
You might also feel water pass over your eyes but this is for cleaning purposes.
7.) When the operation is finished, the eyes will be covered by protective eye shields.
SuperSight Surgery Described :
With topical or local anesthesia, you will remain awake during the SuperSight Surgery procedure. This can be achieved by using eye drops or injecting a local anesthetic solution into the tissue surrounding the eye.
During the surgery, you may perceive a bright light emitted from the operating microscope. Approximately two hours before the operation, you will receive eye drops to dilate your pupil.
You will be instructed to keep your head still and lie as flat as possible during the procedure. The surgery typically lasts between 20-30 minutes per eye, although it may extend up to 40-60 minutes in some cases.
Most of the natural lens is removed using a technique called "Phacoemulsification." The surgeon creates a tiny incision in the eye, uses ultrasound waves to soften the lens, and extracts it through a small tube. The posterior layer of the lens is left intact. Subsequently, an artificial lens (implant) is inserted to replace the natural lens. In certain instances, a tiny stitch may be required. To safeguard your eye, a protective pad or shield will be placed over it after the operation.
The objective of SuperSight Surgery is to replace the natural lens with a specially designed multifocal intraocular lens (implant) made of plastic. This procedure addresses presbyopia, the age-related deterioration of near vision that commonly occurs after the age of 40. By undergoing SuperSight Surgery, individuals can potentially reduce their reliance on reading glasses for close-up tasks.
