Cataract surgery at Ein Tal is one of the most common procedures in the field of medicine to treat the cloudiness of the eye’s natural lens. The lens, located behind the pupil, is responsible for focusing and clarifying the image received by the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy due to aging, disease, or trauma, the quality of vision decreases and the recommended solution is cataract surgery. At Ein Tal, the surgery can also be performed with a laser technique, for making incisions and fragmenting the lens; the cloudy lens is then removed and an artificial lens chosen by measurements of the eye is implanted. The ophthalmologists at Ein Tal treat various types of cataract.
The process of diagnosis of cataract at Ein Tal
The process of diagnosing cataract begins with a comprehensive and careful examination of the patient’s eyes. The examination includes a visual acuity test, assessment of the natural lens and examination of the state of the retina and optic nerve. In addition, further tests will be performed, such as a test for corneal distortions and an intraocular pressure test. At Ein Tal, the experts use advanced diagnostic technologies to accurately determine the severity of the cataract and the general condition of the eye, with the aim of tailoring the treatment to each patient. After the diagnosis, the doctor will determine whether surgery is necessary and whether the patient is suitable for laser cataract surgery or the traditional method, depending on his unique situation.
Preparation for cataract surgery at the Ein Tal center

Before the surgery, additional tests will be performed to measure the eye and adjust the artificial lens that will be implanted during the surgery. Before the surgery, the patient usually receives a detailed explanation from the treating team, including instructions regarding fasting and instructions regarding care of the eye.
Types of lenses in cataract surgery
The Ein Tal Center offers a wide variety of artificial lenses, chosen by measurements of the eye. The types of lenses include monofocal lenses, which correct vision for a fixed distance, and multifocal lenses, which allow good vision both at a distance and up close, and may reduce the need for glasses after surgery. In addition, there are toric lenses designed to correct astigmatism, and help to achieve clearer vision. The choice of the type of lens is made in consultation with the experts at Ein Tal, taking into account the patient’s personal vision needs, lifestyle and personal preferences.
