Overview
Cataracts are a clouding of the eye lens that affects vision and is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. China has become a premier destination for cataract surgery thanks to its high-volume ophthalmology departments and experienced surgeons.
Chinese eye hospitals perform millions of cataract surgeries annually, resulting in exceptional surgical proficiency. The latest intraocular lens (IOL) technologies, including premium multifocal and toric lenses, are readily available.
Patients benefit from short procedure times, rapid recovery, and costs that are a fraction of those in Western countries.
Treatment Options in China
Cataract surgery in China primarily uses phacoemulsification, an ultrasound-based technique that breaks up and removes the clouded lens through a tiny incision. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is available at top centers for enhanced precision.
Patients can choose from a range of premium IOLs including monofocal, multifocal, extended depth of focus, and toric lenses. The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery with local anesthesia and takes approximately 15-30 minutes per eye.
