Target Population

  • Senile cataract

  • Complicated cataract surgery with associated complication

  • Traumatic cataract

  • Cataract patient with underlying dry eye disease and corneal pathology


Description

Our center has established a comprehensive cataract caring system, including preoperative assessment, surgical intervention, and structured postoperative follow-up for the aging society. Intraoperatively, we kept a standardized phacoemulsification protocol. According to individual clinical needs, precision-assisted technologies, including femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery, Zepto anterior capsulotomy, and intraoperative guidance systems, are utilized to safely manage high-risk and complex cataract cases, such as zonular weakness, IOL dislocation, and traumatic cataract. Postoperatively, structured follow-up protocols are implemented to ensure optimal visual recovery. Overall surgical outcomes are favorable with low complication rates. For patients with concomitant iris defects or ocular trauma, secondary procedures such as iris reconstruction or artificial iris implantation are scheduled during the recovery period to further enhance visual quality and functional outcomes. Furthermore, our center is actively engaged in cataract surgery education and academic research. We have long participated in national and international surgical training programs and wet-lab courses, and have published research findings in peer-reviewed international journals. Through ongoing cross-border clinical exchange and collaboration, we continue to advance cataract care toward international standards.


Key Highlights

  • Continuous updating of functional intraocular lenses, including extended depth-of-focus (EDOF), bifocal, and trifocal IOLs, as well as toric and aspheric IOL options

  • Emergent management of traumatic cataract associated with traumatic ocular injuries, with planned iris reconstruction or artificial iris implantation during the recovery phase

  • Management of complex cataract and aphakic eyes lacking capsular support, including iris-fixated IOL (ARTISAN), sutured or flanged IOLs, and Yamane scleral-fixated IOLs

  • Establishment of a self-pay reimbursement code for iris hook assisted cataract surgery

Service Data

  • Annual cataract surgical volume exceeding 3,000 cases, which is the highest among medical centers in New Taipei City

  • Steady growth in femtosecond laser and Zepto-assisted cataract surgery


Featured Outcomes

  • Mean postoperative visual acuity improvement of 4.5 lines

  • The average visual acuity one month after surgery improved significantly to logMAR 0.14 (p < 0.0001).


Safety Outcomes

  • Overall complication rate of approximately 1.76%

  • No cases of irrevrsible blindness


Satisfaction

  • 100% satisfaction with the preoperative outpatient evaluation

  • 100% satisfaction with the surgical experience
