Cataract and Femto-Cataract

A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens of the eye (called the crystalline lens). Cataracts develop gradually and usually affect both eyes, resulting in a gradual loss of vision.
Cataracts are the “natural” development of the lens after the age of 60 and from about 65 cataracts affect almost everyone.
Cataract surgery is therefore one of the most common procedures worldwide.
It consists of an outpatient surgical replacement of the clouded natural lens with a state-of-the-art artificial lens (intraocular lens).
Nowadays, patients can choose between different types of lenses: monofocal or multifocal.

The surgeons at the Centre Ophtalmologique Place de Paris successfully perform more than a thousand cataract operations every year.

The Centre Ophtalmologique Place de Paris is the first and only centre in Luxembourg that can offer you an outpatient cataract operation without you having to go to hospital.
It is also the first and only centre in Luxembourg to offer this operation using the Femto-Laser LensX®, which is completely blade-free, very precise and safe.
