Cataract surgery Tunisia – Cataract implant price

Cataract surgery in Tunisia is an ophthalmic surgical procedure that aims to remove a lens affected by cataract in order to substitute a cataract implant (lens). Surgery is still the only possible treatment for cataract.

Cataract is an eye disease that manifests itself by a progressive opacification of the crystalline lens (lens of the eye). A normal lens is a perfectly transparent lens, which means that it allows light rays to pass through to the retina without any obstruction. This allows the retina to capture and transmit clear visual information to the brain. A cataract opacifies the lens and prevents light from passing through.  The light rays absorbed by the lens are then diffracted in all directions. The result is blurred vision.

With age and regular exposure to UV light, the lens loses its transparency and gradually becomes opaque. Cataracts generally manifest themselves by a decrease in vision, a visual fog and a feeling of wearing glasses with dirty lenses, but also by a discomfort to light exposure.
