As we get older, it is natural for our vision to change. However, we often accept a loss of sharpness as an inevitable part of ageing, when in fact it is a treatable process: the development of cataracts.
At Clínica Ramírez & Gálvez in Torre del Mar and Lucena, we understand that seeing well is what connects you with the things you love most. Cataracts do not just “cloud” your sight; they gradually fade the colours and independence of our patients. That is why we approach this surgery with excellence and honesty, always striving to give you back the clarity your eyes deserve.
What exactly is a cataract? 🧐
A cataract is the loss of transparency of the crystalline lens, the natural lens of our eye. Over time, the proteins in the lens “oxidise” and become opaque, preventing light from passing properly through to the retina.
Although ageing is the main factor, there are other elements that can speed up their development, such as prolonged sun exposure without protection or genetic factors.
How do I know if I have cataracts? 🌫️
Cataracts usually develop gradually. These are the most common signs to look out for:
- Blurred or cloudy vision: As if you were looking through a dirty pane of glass.
- Sensitivity to light: Glare or lights at night become bothersome or dazzling.
- Colours losing their intensity: Shades look duller or more yellowish.
- Frequent changes in your prescription: Especially if you notice that you suddenly “need” your reading glasses less for close-up tasks.
A safe and life-changing procedure 🔬🙌
Cataract surgery is one of the most widely studied and performed medical procedures in the world, with a very high rate of safety and satisfaction.
At our clinics, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to replace the clouded lens with a high-tech intraocular lens tailored to each patient.
- Speed and comfort: It is a quick outpatient procedure.
- Almost immediate recovery: Most patients notice a significant improvement the day after surgery.
- Independence: In many cases, it can reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses.
