Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is microsurgery which removes your damaged lens (cataract) and replaces it with a new intraocular lens. This new lens will remain clear and will last for life. There are a variety of intraocular lens to choose from to suit your needs. 

Is Cataract Surgery for you?

Cataracts occur with increasing age (too many birthdays).

Normally UV light causes the lens proteins to change, which decreases the quality of your vision.

You may experience changes in your vision, such as:

  • Vision can be blurred.
  • Glare can be a problem, especially when driving at night.
  • Poor colour perception, especially in the blue spectrum.

Cataracts usually occur over years with slow vision changes, but sometimes cataracts can occur quickly causing a rapid change to your vision. There are three main types of cataracts: nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular. Some cataracts are a combination of the three types. 

The Cataract procedure

Cataract surgery (Phacoemulsification) is done with a local anaesthetic as a day surgery procedure. The latest micro-incisional technqiues are used.

Cataract recovery time

The visual results for cataract surgery are excellent, with most people achieving driving standard vision without glasses. New glasses after cataract surgery will normally improve the vision further.
Laser cataract surgery is also available after cataract surgery for those people that wish to have their vision independent of glasses.
