China's ophthalmic surgical technology continues to break through, and cataract surgery has entered an era of precision. Through advanced preoperative measurement, refractive intraocular lenses and minimally invasive surgical techniques, patients can not only restore vision but also correct refractive problems such as myopia and astigmatism at the same time, significantly improving postoperative visual quality.
The technical foundation of precision surgery
Modern cataract surgery centers on phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. Preoperative optical biometry, corneal topography and other methods precisely calculate the lens power, while femtosecond laser assistance or micro-incision techniques make surgery more precise, less traumatic and faster to recover from.
The use of refractive intraocular lenses allows patients to address cataracts, presbyopia, myopia and astigmatism in a single procedure, achieving functional vision restoration.
Surgical safety and recovery
Cataract surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, with a single-eye operation lasting about 10-20 minutes. Most patients can resume daily visual activities the day after surgery, but still need to use eye drops as prescribed and attend regular follow-ups.
Advice for international patients
Before traveling to China for surgery, international patients are advised to complete comprehensive examinations such as intraocular pressure, fundus and cornea, and provide previous ophthalmic records to the doctor. MedBridge can connect patients with renowned ophthalmic centers in Shanghai, providing booking, interpretation accompaniment and postoperative follow-up services.
