This week, Dr. Deepan Selvadurai performed cataract surgery on a patient with a dense, mature white cataract.
White Cataract Facts:
1. Patients with this condition often have vision reduced to hand-motion only.
2. These cases are considered high-risk due to limited visibility, increased intralenticular pressure, and a greater likelihood of capsular complications.
Despite the complexity, the procedure was completed successfully and without complication.
Post-operative Day 1:
The patient experienced a remarkable improvement in vision, achieving near legal driving acuity within 24 hours. This outcome reflects both the transformative potential of modern cataract surgery and the precision required in managing advanced cases.
