FAQs

• 1. What kind of specialist should we consult to diagnose cataracts?

  For diagnosing cataracts, it is recommended to see a cornea specialist. You can find valuable information about cataracts and their treatment on the Basir Ophthalmology website, including symptoms, care, and treatment methods. If you need more specific information or have questions, our team is available to provide free consultations.

• 2. For about three days, when my mother wakes up, she sees a blur, says that the house is full of soot, and her eyes water. What could be wrong?

  These symptoms may indicate cataracts. It is advisable to visit our clinic for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

• 3. What are the side effects of changing eye color?

  Eye color change procedures are not approved by the medical community due to severe side effects and are not performed at Basir Eye Clinic. Risks include cataracts, high intraocular pressure, eye inflammation, and frequent bleeding. We strongly advise against undergoing such procedures.

• 4. Is it normal to experience myopia one week after cataract surgery?

  It is normal for vision to take some time to stabilize after cataract surgery. Improvement generally takes at least one month. If myopia or other vision issues persist beyond this period, please consult your doctor. For further questions, our free consultation service is available on our website.

• 5. Is it normal to have spontaneous tears a week after cataract surgery?

  Spontaneous tearing can occur after cataract surgery and is usually normal. However, if you experience severe eye pain or persistent blurred vision, it is essential to see your doctor. For additional information, you can contact us through the Basir Ophthalmology website.

• 6. Is cataract disease contagious and can it be transmitted?

  No, cataract disease is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from one eye to another. It is primarily caused by changes in lens proteins due to aging and other factors. You can find more information about cataracts on our website.

• 7. Is cataract disease hereditary?

  While cataracts are often related to aging, some types can be hereditary. For more detailed information about cataract disease and treatment options, please read the articles on our website or contact us through the free consultation section.

• 8. Do we need to wait for cataract surgery until the disease progresses significantly?

  Modern techniques allow for cataract surgery at any stage of the disease. Delaying surgery until the cataract is advanced can increase the risk of complications. It is best to seek treatment as soon as cataracts are diagnosed to prevent irreparable damage.

• 9. Can cataracts become black?

  Initially, cataracts do not appear black, but if left untreated, they can lead to more severe complications like glaucoma. It is important to treat cataracts early to avoid serious problems. After cataract surgery, vision recovery is possible if the retina and cornea are healthy, though lost vision due to glaucoma may not be fully recoverable.

• 10. At what age do cataracts usually occur? Does delaying surgery cause problems?

  Cataracts commonly occur between the ages of 50 and 60. Delaying surgery generally does not cause immediate problems, but the cataract can become more advanced over time, increasing the risk of complications. Early intervention is recommended for the best outcomes.

• 11. Can you use contact lenses after LASIK surgery?

  Contact lenses are generally not recommended in the early months after LASIK surgery. However, after six months, you may be able to use contact lenses with proper hygiene. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice based on your condition.

• 12. What are the disadvantages of LASIK surgery?

  LASIK surgery typically results in a faster recovery time compared to other procedures. Patients may experience some pain and need to use a contact lens bandage. Post-surgery, steroid drops are required for a few weeks. Recovery time is generally shorter than LASIK, with vision usually improving within 24 hours.

• 13. Can astigmatism be resolved with LASIK?

  Yes, LASIK can correct astigmatism, though severe cases may require additional procedures. A key requirement for LASIK is sufficient corneal thickness. To determine if LASIK is suitable for you, please schedule a consultation with an eye specialist at our clinic.
