Cataract surgery with IOL replacement in Prof. Or Kaiserman

About the clinic

Cataract surgery with IOL replacement at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman in Petah Tikva, Israel, provides a specialized solution for restoring clear vision. This procedure uses the innovative viscochop method developed by Prof. Dr. Kaiserman to protect the eye during surgery. Patients benefit from the expertise of a surgeon who holds a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Advanced Viscochop Technique

Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman uses a unique viscochop method he personally developed. This technique helps protect corneal endothelial cells by reducing the amount of ultrasound energy used. The procedure often involves laser-created incisions for higher precision. This laser approach also helps reduce astigmatism by adjusting the eye's cylinder during the operation. The entire surgery is typically completed in about 15 minutes.

Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options

Patients can choose from several types of replacement lenses to meet their visual needs. These options include:

  • Monofocal IOL for clear distance vision.
  • Multifocal IOL to provide focus for both near and far distances.
  • Toric IOL specifically designed to correct astigmatism.

Experience and Expertise

Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman is a highly active researcher and clinician with over 115 professional publications. He serves as an associate professor at Ben-Gurion University and directs the cornea clinic at Barzilai Medical Center. With over 30 years of experience, Prof. Dr. Kaiserman completed specialized fellowships at the University of Toronto. His focus includes cornea health, laser surgery, and complex cataract cases.

Patient Comfort and Recovery

The clinic uses local anesthesia in the form of eye drops. This means there are no painful injections before the procedure. Most patients return to their normal daily activities within 24 to 48 hours. The recovery process includes wearing a protective eye shield at night and using prescribed eye drops. Follow-up visits usually occur at one day, one week, and one month after the surgery. A final prescription for glasses is typically provided after 4 to 6 weeks.

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.
