Nizhny Novgorod doctors restored the vision of a 90-year-old patient.

      On July 5, 2026, at 17:56, Society. Specialists from the Nizhny Novgorod Geriatric Center performed a unique minimally invasive surgery on an elderly patient, restoring her nearly lost vision. As reported by the medical institution, the 90-year-old woman was given an unfavorable diagnosis - cataract, one of the most common causes of blindness in older people. However, age did not become a barrier to restoring her vision. A team of highly qualified ophthalmologists took on this complex case. The surgery was performed using the latest seamless technique, involving a microscopic incision. The surgeon precisely removed the cloudy lens and replaced it with an artificial equivalent. Just a few days after the surgery, the patient regained her ability to see. "This story is the best proof that modern medicine knows no age limits. Thanks to the experience of our surgeons and high-tech equipment, we can restore vision even at the most advanced age," said the Geriatric Center. Earlier, ophthalmologist Egorov warned that cataracts now affect even young people. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
