Will cataract surgery hurt?

As they grow older, many middle-aged and elderly people will suffer from cataracts. Cataract surgery is the main way to treat cataracts. Although medical technology continues to mature with the development of science and technology, many people are still afraid when it comes to surgery. Is cataract surgery painful? This is also a question that many people are concerned about. Will cataract surgery hurt?

No. Hua Xia, director of Tianjin University Aier Eye Hospital, said that cataract surgery takes a short time, the incision is small, and the eyeball is anesthetized before the operation. The nerves at the incision site and the site of phacoemulsification removal are generally insensitive, so cataract surgery is generally painless. Some slight sensations are within the normal range that the human body can tolerate, and patients do not need to worry too much.

With the update and iteration of medical technology, cataract surgery has entered the era of knife-free surgery. Different from traditional surgery, femtosecond laser surgery uses laser instead of scalpel to complete corneal incision, controlled by computer intelligent system, and monitored in real time by eye computer scanning imaging technology. It has strong controllability, avoids the influence of subjective factors of manual operation, reduces trauma, and improves the efficiency of cataract surgery.

Cataracts are a common eye disease among the middle-aged and elderly, and they can cause blindness, so we must pay more attention to them. If you are diagnosed with cataracts, you must follow the doctor's advice and seek timely treatment. When cataracts become serious, the hardness of the lens nucleus will increase, increasing the time and risk of surgery. Do not delay and miss the opportunity for treatment.
