What is a cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the lens, the eye's natural lens that is normally perfectly transparent. As we age, the lens gradually becomes cloudy, then opaque, blocking light and leading to progressive vision loss.
It is the most common cause of vision loss after 60 years of age and the only solution is surgical: replacing the opaque lens with an artificial one.

I feel like my eyes have received serious attention! (Cataract surgery and periocular area.)
I underwent cataract surgery by primary ophthalmologist Silvia Chiotoroiu, to whom she is grateful not only for the medical act itself but also for the tact with which she treated a fearful patient. I felt safe as soon as I entered the clinic: the environment and the medical staff. I came from Pitesti, other people came from much greater distances to this clinic. Thank you, Clario

Thanks to the professionalism and kindness of Dr. Simionescu, I left this clinic today with all the answers and specialist explanations I needed to be able to choose between different lens options, in order to perform the cataract removal surgery I am facing here soon. So far at Clario I have found top quality medical services. I will come back with a new review after receiving the results of the medical intervention. Dec 31, 2024 - I am back with information about the medical status after the intervention performed on Dec 13, 2024 on the left eye.

I am very much looking forward to the surgery on my right eye, an intervention planned by Dr. Simionescu on 17 Jan 2025. I send many thanks to Dr. Ruxandra Simionescu for all her dedication and professionalism. Great doctor! I recommend with all my heart! Happy birthday CLARIO team!

Today I took my mother (86 years old) for a check-up (the recommendation from the province being lens surgery). The experience was very pleasant. The clinic staff is exceptional: polite, smiling, communicative, efficient = professional. Dr. Lilana Duta is a special person and an extraordinary doctor: although she is a surgeon, she does not rush to perform the operation, unless the risks for the patient are minimal, and the positive results as certain as possible! He knows how to communicate with the patient, he is patient, he gives him the attention and time necessary for a correct diagnosis - the consultation lasted a little over an hour, several investigations being necessary in order to establish a correct diagnosis - thus gaining the patient's trust and more. I recommend it! Thank you!

I had a difficult cataract surgery, performed by Doctor Chiotoroiu and the team. The result was unbelievably beneficial - including both the full restoration of the eye's functions and the absence of any unpleasant postoperative manifestations starting from the very first day after the operation.
A special appreciation for the auxiliary/assistance staff.
Thank you for the applied professionalism, along with the exemplary behavior in the relationship with the patient!

I came to this clinic for a routine check-up, knowing that I have the beginnings of cataracts. In three months, the cataract advanced so much that I could see all the images in an increasingly dense fog. I was already panicking: I was reading with difficulty. My quality of life was deteriorating a little more every day. I returned to the clinic determined to put an end to this situation. And all conditions were favorable to me. Clario is a modern, well-organized clinic with state-of-the-art equipment and a dedicated team. From the first consultation, I put my trust in the hands of Dr. Liana Duță. He conquered me both as a person and as a specialist. Here there are no standard treatments, each patient being treated individually, and the advice for choosing the most suitable lens is made according to all ophthalmological conditions and the general state of health. Since I also have diplopia, the doctor recommended that I be consulted by Dr. Diana Grigoriu, who specializes in strabismus, before and after the operations. With this diagnosis and all the necessary tests, Dr. Liana Duță chose anesthesia with drops so as not to strain my eyes. The operation was not easy neither for me nor for you, but we always collaborated between doctor and patient. I can say that I felt everything he worked on my eyes, sometimes he explained to me what maneuver he was performing, assured me that everything was perfect and to be patient. I felt her so empathetic, understanding and close while her hands worked firmly. After the operation, I followed the treatment exactly and I had no problem, no pain, and my vision was 100% restored. I regret that I do not know the names of every member of the teams that assisted me in the two operations, doctors and nurses, but I will call them all Clario. Thank you, Dr. Liana Duță. Thank you Clario. I will come to you whenever needed, with the same trust and gratitude. Valerica Slavescu

The intervention was performed at a state clinic. Unfortunately, after the intervention, my vision, for reasons I still don't understand today, was just as blurry. Along the way, the vision gradually began to clear, and today, after approx. 3 years after this intervention, the diopter approaches the normal value. Since refraction problems started to appear in the other eye as well, I decided this time to do the lens replacement intervention at a private clinic. I opted for the CLARIO clinic and I must say it was a good choice. Here I met a team of doctors for whom, frankly, I cannot find words of praise and gratitude. As a figure of speech, gold and platinum are 2 noble chemical elements, and platinum, due to corrosion toughness, is preferred to gold. However, I opt for gold because, unlike platinum, it delights the eye (if I'm still talking about the eye) and impresses with its brilliance, just like the professional team of assistants and doctors at CLARIO. Thank you to the team at CLARIO for their professionalism, the exceptional way they relate to patients and the dedication and spirited passion they have shown. I wish good health and permanent youth to these young medical professionals, who shape the future of our medical system and give hope to patients.
A cataract is the clouding of the lens, the eye's natural lens. After 40 years of age, the lens begins to harden and become cloudy, gradually blocking light. It is the most common cause of vision loss after 60 years of age and the leading cause of reversible blindness worldwide.
No. There are no drops, medications or natural remedies that can cure cataracts. The only effective and safe solution is the surgical replacement of the opaque lens with a transparent artificial one.
When vision drops below 50% or when it affects daily activities (reading, driving, recognizing faces). You don't have to wait until the cataract is "ripe" - this belief is outdated. Excessive delay hardens the lens and complicates the surgery.
The surgery takes 20-30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia (drops). It does NOT hurt. You will feel slight pressure and see lights, but without discomfort. You go home the same day.
Through phacoemulsification (ultrasound), the opaque lens is fragmented and aspirated through a 2-3 mm incision. The artificial lens is implanted and reMayns for life. No sutures are needed - the incision heals on its own.
We operate with the Alcon Centurion phacoemulsifier and Zeiss microscope - cutting-edge American and German technology. The Active Fluidics system Mayntains constant pressure in the eye, and torsional ultrasound protects the cornea.
Monofocal: clear distance vision, reading glasses
Multifocal: glasses independence in 90-95% of situations
EDOF: excellent for distance + computer, minimal halos
Toric: for patients with astigmatism (available in all variants)
Choosing the cheapest lens without considering your lifestyle. Cataract surgery is a unique opportunity to also get rid of glasses – discuss premium options with your doctor before deciding.
It is one of the safest surgeries, with a success rate over 95% (Moorfields Eye Hospital).
Temporary complications: blurred vision 1-2 days, red eye 2-4 weeks.
Risks are higher with very advanced cataracts - so don't delay!
The artificial lens NEVER becomes cloudy. In 20-30% of patients, "secondary cataract" may occur (clouding of the capsule behind the lens) after months or years. It is easily resolved with YAG laser in 5 minutes, painlessly.
Vision improves significantly within the first 24-48 hours.
Restrictions for 2-4 weeks: don't rub the eye, avoid water in the eye, don't swim, don't lift heavy weights.
Final results stabilize in 4-6 weeks.
No - for maximum safety, we operate the second eye at least 1 week apart.
You can resume driving in 2-7 days, after the doctor confirms at the check-up that vision is stable.
How cataracts form
Lens structure
The lens is a transparent, biconvex lens located behind the iris. It consists of:
Capsule - thin outer covering
Cortex - intermediate layer
Nocleus - central area
Clouding process
The proteins in the lens denature and clump together over time, forming opaque areas that block light. The process is irreversible and progressive.
Types of cataracts by location
Noclear - starts in the center of the lens, most common
Cortical - starts at the periphery and advances toward the center
Posterior subcapsular - forms at the back of the lens, advances rapidly
Check your symptoms
Self-assessment questions:
If you checked 2+ symptoms, schedule an evaluation consultation.
Important: Cataracts do NOT cause pain, redness or tearing. If you have these symptoms, the cause is different.
