What you need to know about Cataract Surgery in Taipei

Cataract surgery in Taipei is a common procedure carried out by highly experienced ophthalmologists. This outpatient operation is performed when the natural lens of the eye, which is usually transparent, develops a cataract. The cataract causes the lens to become cloudy, resulting in blurry or desaturated vision. Surgery is necessary when the cataract severely affects your daily activities or your ability to work.

During the procedure, the surgeon removes the cloudy lens and if necessary, replaces it with an artificial clear lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Modern techniques mean that the entire procedure can typically be performed under local anaesthetic with patients experiencing little to no discomfort. Cataract surgeries in Taipei are renowned for their high standards of care and success.

What's the Recovery Time for Cataract Surgery Procedures in Taipei?

Recovery times for cataract surgery procedures vary from person to person, but typically, patients notice an improvement in their vision within a few days of the procedure. However, full healing can take about a month.

During the first few days post-operation, the eye may feel itchy and sensitive. It is also common for a mild burning sensation or grittiness to be experienced. Patients are advised not to rub the eye and to use the prescribed eye drops to help with the healing process and reduce inflammation. Complete visual results and the settling down of any post-operative symptoms could take from several weeks to a few months.

What's the Success Rate of Cataract Surgery Procedures in Taipei?

The success rate of cataract surgery procedures in Taipei is very high, similar to other developed regions. As a mature and well-established procedure, the percentage of patients with significantly improved vision following cataract surgery is greater than 95%.

However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated. These risks mainly involve infection, bleeding, inflammation, detachment of the retina, pressure changes in the eye and sometimes light sensitivity. Most of these complications are extremely rare and can be managed effectively if they occur.
