Cataract surgery is a modern and highly effective procedure in which the cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. The aim of surgery is to restore vision and improve quality of life.
The choice of intraocular lens is personalised according to each patient’s visual needs and lifestyle
Who it is for
Cataract surgery may be recommended when a cataract:
- Causes blurred or reduced vision
- Makes reading, driving or everyday activities more difficult
- Causes glare or difficulty seeing in low light
- Significantly affects your quality of life
The decision to proceed with surgery is made following a comprehensive ophthalmic examination and assessment of visual function. The available intraocular lens options are also discussed to identify the most appropriate choice for each patient.
