Advanced biometry (OCT-based measurements, 4th\u20135th generation formulas, ray tracing) enables increasingly precise visual outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>At Soleyes, we use #advanced biometry and #premium intraocular lenses to tailor results to each patient.<\/p>\n<h2>An exceptionally safe procedure<\/h2>\n<p>All surgeries carry risk, but the likelihood of a serious complication in cataract surgery is <strong>extremely low<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The most severe complication is endophthalmitis. Contemporary series report incidences of <strong>0.02% to 0.005%<\/strong> (\u22481 in 5,000\u201320,000), further reduced by povidone\u2011iodine antisepsis and intracameral antibiotics.<\/p>\n<h2>The advantage of a dedicated \u201cclean\u201d ophthalmic theatre<\/h2>\n<p>In ophthalmic-only theatres, free of contaminated procedures, the practical incidence approaches <strong>1 in 30,000\u201340,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We operate in such a at #Soleyes, with #strict sterilisation protocols and exclusive instrumentation, which greatly minimises infection risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Other uncommon, manageable risks<\/h2>\n<p>If capsular support is insufficient, the intraocular lens may shift; it can be <strong>repositioned<\/strong> or replaced with a <strong>sutured lens<\/strong>, yielding equally good outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Even if one eye cannot receive a trifocal lens, the fellow eye can compensate, providing excellent overall vision at distance and near.<\/p>\n<h2>Our experience: complications very close to 0%<\/h2>\n<p>In the last <strong>6 years<\/strong>, Soleyes has not recorded any major cataract-surgery complication, thanks to a clean theatre, strict protocols and dedicated ophthalmic instrumentation.<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing the right centre<\/h2>\n<h3>What to look for<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 #Dedicated ophthalmic theatre<br \/>\n\u2022 #Strict asepsis protocols<br \/>\n\u2022 #Experienced surgical team<br \/>\n\u2022 #Modern IOL calculation technology<\/p>\n<p>This further reduces an already very low risk and maximises the chance of excellent visual outcomes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; woodmart_inline=&#8221;no&#8221; text_larger=&#8221;no&#8221;] Why you should not be afraid of cataract surgery Cataract surgery is one of the safest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9615,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cataract-surgery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9616"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9617,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9616\/revisions\/9617"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soleyes.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
