Certainly, a matured cataract can still be removed at this stage, but it is also true that removal is more difficult and potentially more hazardous. Corneal edema will be more severe and recovery of vision may take longer. Removal of a visually significant cataract before it reaches the mature stage is now advisable. However, what constitutes \u201cvisually significant\u201d is not an unyielding rule. A safe rule of thumb is if your cataract does not bother your eyesight, you do not need to have it removed. If you are in doubt, you should undergo a full examination with your eye doctor. If you are still in doubt, seek more opinion from a different doctor.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23602 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0003.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"951\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0003.png 951w, https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0003-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0003-768x350.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 951px) 100vw, 951px\" \/><\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-3-3f304379\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-6d02a636a56f76ddcb37\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-6d02a636a56f76ddcb37\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-6d02a636a56f76ddcb37\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">4.

Having a large opening has several disadvantages. The eye can suddenly bleed profusely during surgery and become blind. A large opening creates potential for large amounts of astigmatism. Most patients undergoing this old type of surgeries need to wear glasses after the surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>In phacoemulsification, the surgeon delivers ultrasound energy through a small probe. The ultrasound energy will convert the hard nucleus into millions of small particles \u2013 thus the term \u201cemulsification\u201d. The entire surgery can now be carried out with a very small opening. Visual recovery is relatively faster and patient has less astigmatism. A lot more patients who have undergone phacoemulsification can walk around without the use of eyeglasses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23604 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0004.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0004.png 890w, https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0004-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0004-768x297.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through a small incision, use a small probe, The ultrasound energy will convert the hard nucleus into millions of small particles and remove them.

It uses smaller optic rings or interval to produce a relatively long focal point, so the halo or glare phenomenon will be less than that of multifocal lenses. Doctors sometimes advocate monovision correction to reduce the patient's dependence on glasses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23148\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/7-22.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/7-22.png 270w, https:\/\/www.hkeyesurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/7-22-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ebc4b6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ebc4b6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-01e9489\" data-id=\"01e9489\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f1891b6 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f1891b6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3632c34\" data-id=\"3632c34\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15570da elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"15570da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Intraocular Lenses FAQ<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f60e99a elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-accordion\" data-id=\"f60e99a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div class=\"elementskit-accordion accoedion-primary\" id=\"accordion-6a56f76dde568\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-0-f60e99a\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-14514dc6a56f76dde568\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-14514dc6a56f76dde568\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-14514dc6a56f76dde568\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">1.

Conventional intraocular lens could only correct long-sightness and short-sightness, but not astigmatism. Patients with astigmatism with conventional lens implants still need to wear glasses after the surgery. Nowadays, with the newly designed Toric Intraocular Lens, eye surgeons could also correct your pre-existing astigmatism during cataract surgery.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-1-f60e99a\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-6cdf3486a56f76dde568\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-6cdf3486a56f76dde568\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-6cdf3486a56f76dde568\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">2.
