Cataract surgery (both eyes) in Prof. Or Kaiserman

About the clinic

Cataract surgery for both eyes is available at the clinic of Prof. Or Kaiserman in Petah Tikva, Israel. This advanced procedure uses the specialized Viscochop method to remove cloudy lenses and restore clear vision. The treatment is led by a world-recognized expert who has received a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Expert Surgical Care

Prof. Or Kaiserman performs the surgery using his own developed method called Viscochop. This technique protects the delicate corneal cells better than standard approaches. Prof. Or Kaiserman serves as the Director of the Cornea and Dry Eye Clinic at Barzilai Hospital. He has published over 100 professional papers and is an Associate Professor at Ben-Gurion University. His vast experience helps make the surgery faster and safer for the patient.

The Procedure and Method

The surgery takes about 15 minutes per eye and uses only topical drops for anesthesia. Patients do not need painful injections around the eye. The clinic offers the option to treat both eyes on the same day. This bilateral approach allows for a faster return to daily life. During the procedure, the surgeon can also address other vision issues like astigmatism.

Lens Options and Technology

Patients can choose from several types of advanced intraocular lenses. These include:

  • Monofocal lenses for clear vision at one set distance.
  • Multifocal lenses to see both near and far objects without glasses.
  • Advanced corneal topography to map the eye before the operation.

Recovery and Results

This is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home about 2 hours after the surgery. A plastic shield protects the eye until the first follow-up exam the next day. Most people move around normally within hours of the treatment. A second check-up happens after one week. You will receive a final prescription for glasses at least four weeks after the eyes have fully healed.

Prof. Or Kaiserman: more details about the clinic

Israel, Petah Tikva
Prof. Or Kaiserman is an ophthalmology clinic in Petah Tikva, Israel, led by Prof’ Or Kaiserman and focused on laser vision correction, cataract surgery, and cornea care. The clinic’s cornea portfolio includes advanced treatment options for progressive keratoconus, including the “Athens protocol.” This approach combines partial topography-guided PRK with corneal crosslinking, performed immediately after PRK in the described technique, aiming to reduce stromal scarring potential and minimize haze. For patients with keratoconus who also require refractive support, the clinic discusses additional options such as combining crosslinking with corneal ring implants to improve vision. On the anterior eye surface, Prof. Or Kaiserman performs pterygium surgery in a structured, step-by-step procedure. During surgery, the pterygium is removed and the exposed area is covered with a healthy, transparent conjunctival graft taken from another site in the eye. The graft may be attached using 6 sutures or a biological adhesive, and the procedure includes use of mitomycin to help prevent recurrence. The clinic also notes that pterygium surgery can take about half an hour, depending on the case. For dry eye care and eyelid gland dysfunction, the clinic provides education on advanced causes and mechanisms, including the role of eyelid and ocular-surface factors and how eyelid gland cleaning is presented as an effective treatment for dry eye symptoms. In glaucoma care, the clinic offers Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) as a short laser option intended to help balance glaucoma by lowering high intraocular pressure and potentially reducing dependence on daily drops. For patients considering refractive surgery, the clinic provides an online LASIK assessment designed to begin the evaluation process from the comfort of home by collecting vision health history and basic screening inputs. The clinic also shares detailed approaches to vision correction beyond laser, including ICL and other cornea implant options for reading and refractive needs, with explanations about recovery and topical medications after implant-related procedures. International patients are served through the clinic’s established online-first education and pre-assessment process, and the clinic is active across social platforms where it publishes surgical explanations and patient-relevant guidance. Prof. Or Kaiserman’s content also highlights complex, rare anterior segment work, including challenging corneal implant scenarios and discussions of advanced anterior solutions. Overall, the clinic blends laser procedures, cornea reconstruction concepts, and clear perioperative guidance to support patients with conditions like keratoconus, cataract, glaucoma, and pterygium.
