Age-related Cataracts
Description
Age-related cataracts, also known as senile cataracts, are a common, progressive eye condition in older adults where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred or foggy vision. This lens opacification typically develops slowly and often goes unnoticed at first, but over time can cause difficulty reading, driving at night, or seeing colors vividly—symptoms frequently described as “clouded vision” or “looking through a dirty window.” There are several types, including nuclear sclerotic, cortical, and posterior subcapsular cataracts, each affecting vision differently. While age is the primary risk factor, genetics, sunlight exposure, diabetes, and smoking can also contribute. As cataracts advance, daily activities and independence can be affected, but modern cataract surgery offers a safe and effective solution to restore clear eyesight and improve quality of life.

Healing Ophthalmology Clinic in Sinnonhyeon Station offers a range of state-of-the-art procedures to correct and enhance vision. Vision Correction Procedures LASIK Surgery: A popular refractive surgery to correct vision by reshaping the cornea using a laser. This procedure helps treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASEK Surgery: Similar to LASIK, this procedure also reshapes the cornea to correct vision. LASEK is preferred for patients with thin corneas as it involves creating a thinner flap. SMILE Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to create a disc-shaped piece of tissue within the cornea, which is then removed through a small incision. This procedure is for correcting myopia and mild astigmatism. Lens Implant Procedures ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens): This procedure involves implanting a Collamer lens inside the eye for those who are not suitable candidates for LASIK. It’s used to correct moderate to severe nearsightedness. Multifocal Lens Implants: Designed to correct presbyopia and provide a full range of vision from near to far distances. This procedure can reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses or bifocals post-surgery. Cataract Surgery Premium Cataract Surgery: Uses advanced technology such as ZEISS SUITE & Z8 laser for ultra-precision surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens. This procedure restores clear vision and can also correct other vision issues like astigmatism. Other Specialized Procedures Corneal Transplant: A surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. This is used to restore vision in patients with corneal disorders or injuries.
