Advanced cataract assessment and lens implant surgery at Elpis Medical Centre
At Elpis Medical Centre in Paphos, Dr Panayiotis Christou provides specialist cataract evaluation, modern phacoemulsification surgery and personalised intraocular lens selection for clear, stable and comfortable vision.
A cataract is the gradual clouding of the natural lens of the eye. It can cause blurred vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, faded colours and frequent changes in glasses.
Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure where the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens implant.
At Elpis Medical Centre, the choice of lens is personalised according to your eye measurements, lifestyle, visual needs and the health of the eye.
You may need a cataract assessment if you experience any of the following:
Vision becomes cloudy, misty or less sharp, even with updated glasses.
Bright lights, headlights or sunlight may become uncomfortable or disabling.
Colours may appear faded and reading may become more difficult.
Dr Panayiotis Christou is an ophthalmic surgeon with experience in cataract surgery, premium intraocular lenses and refractive lens procedures.
Each patient undergoes a full eye examination before surgery, including assessment of the retina, cornea, eye pressure and detailed biometry measurements to calculate the correct lens implant.
The goal is not only to remove the cataract, but also to choose the most appropriate lens option for the patient’s lifestyle and visual expectations.
