Cataract and Myopia

High degree myopia is often associated to premature cataract.

The appearance or worsening of myopia in advanced age, is usually a sign that cataract is developing.

Cataract surgery can correct myopia via the implant of an intraocular lens with the appropriate strenght. Cataract surgery can also correct myopia and astigmatism.

In case of high degree myopia, cataract surgery requires specific precautions:

  • it is best to avoid peribulbar anesthesia for major risks in case of high degree myopia
  • the intraocular lens has to be carefully measured
  • Retina has to be carefully checked before and after surgery, to avoid major risks in case of high degree myopia. Failing to take all necessary precautions, can result in an increased risk of retina detachment after cataract surgery.

Votazione: Eccellente
Problem: Astigmatism, Myopia
Solution: PRK
Tired of glasses and contact lenses, I met Dr. Badalà, who, after an accurate exam, suggested laser treatment to correct myopia and astigmatism. What a great choice!
Laser treatment was perfectly successful, fast and p... Keep on reading this reviewainless. It was carried out in a surgical center with high standard equipment.
Dr. Badalà and his team had been very warm and welcoming, before and after the surgery. As fast as two days after surgery I went back to my everyday life with the only inconvenience of placing many eye drops many times a day for a few weeks.
Surgery was over two years ago and since then I’m enjoying great vision and freedom from glasses.
Thanks to Doctor Badalà for his competence and professionalism.
