hospital. General anesthesia was in vogue. Big incisions required multiple
sutures. Some surgeons implanted lenses and others felt it was a foreign
body and best avoided. At the end of the surgery the eye was patched and
patient styed overnight in the hospital. The patient wore thick glasses after
surgery and took a few days or weeks to recover. They still suffered foreign
body irritation from the stiches, which had to be removed. The large size of
the wounds was an invite for the bugs to play havoc with an infection.
In the next thirty years, general anesthesia was replaced by injections
around the eye. The incision size became smaller, requiring less stiches and
surgery shifted from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers. The eyes were
still patched. People still required glasses for best vision and definitely for
near.
Modern day advanced cataract surgery is without injections, stiches or
patches. Faster recovery is the norm. Pi makes glasses unnecessary.
The term ‘cataract surgery’ encompasses these various surgery styles
from the last five decades. As cataract surgery is reimbursed equally for any
style of cataract procedure, it is difficult to grade doctors. When your
surgeon says he does cataract surgery it is imperative that you find out
which type of cataract surgery he or she performs. Choose the most
advanced, painless, no stich small incision with pi for best outcomes. To be
assured of the best vision outcome possible, pursue patient testimonials
from those that have gone before you.

Difference between Cataract and Prelex surgery

Prelex is performed to avoid dependency on glasses by replacing
the degenerating lens before it becomes opaque. As noted above there
are innumerable techniques for cataract surgery. Prelex is derived
from the most advanced techniques of cataract surgery and Lasik. It
also takes refractive status into account, therefore, after Prelex glasses
are not required. In older style of cataract surgeries glasses are still
required, whereas advanced refractive cataract surgery coupled with
pi in eye would free the person from bondage of glasses.
Since the Prelex procedure is performed before the lens has
hardened it is easier to remove the dysfunctional lens with minimal
energy. This prevents unwanted surgical consequences like damage to
the clear part of the eye. The patients in this age group, forty-five and
older, are generally healthier than the one who undergo cataract
surgery. That means the chance of diabetes or hypertensions affecting
