While results vary, activities like reading documents, attending events and moving through unfamiliar environments may feel more comfortable again. Treatment can also support safer mobility and help remove some of the barriers that cataracts create in everyday life.

Who is cataract surgery for?

  • Cataract surgery is typically recommended when cloudy lenses significantly affect daily activities such as reading, working or night driving.
  • Suitability depends on factors such as eye health, prescription, presence of other conditions such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, and overall medical fitness.
  • During your assessment, we measure how cataracts affect your vision and discuss your lifestyle goals.
  • If your vision concerns are primarily due to cataracts, your surgeon may recommend lens replacement surgery as the most effective way to restore clarity and support your long-term eye health.

  • Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded natural lens of the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
  • With numbing drops for comfort, the surgeon creates a tiny opening in the eye, gently removes the cataract using ultrasound technology, and inserts a new lens selected to suit your visual needs. The incision usually seals itself naturally.
  • Most people go home the same day and notice improvement as the eye heals over days to weeks.
  • Follow-up appointments ensure healing is progressing and help optimise visual outcomes.

  • Cataract surgery can restore clarity of vision and reduce problems like glare or poor night vision.
  • It may also reduce reliance on glasses depending on lens choice and individual eye characteristics.
  • Because the cloudy lens is fully replaced, cataracts cannot return.
  • However, as with all surgery, results vary and some tasks may still require glasses.
  • People with additional eye conditions may have limits on their final outcome.
  • Understanding your unique eye health and goals helps set realistic expectations so the benefits of treatment align with your lifestyle needs.

  • Like all medical procedures, cataract surgery carries risks.
  • Possible side effects can include temporary irritation, glare, halos around lights or variable vision during recovery.
  • Rare complications include infection, swelling, or issues with the artificial lens that may require additional treatment.
  • Thorough checks before surgery help ensure it is safe for your eyes.
  • Your surgeon will explain the potential risks and how they are managed, giving you clear information so you can feel confident in your decision.

There are different lens options available during cataract surgery, depending on your eyes and your goals.

Monofocal lenses are designed to provide clear distance vision, with glasses often still needed for reading.

Multifocal and extended-depth-of-focus lenses may help reduce reliance on glasses at different distances, though results vary by individual.

Your surgeon will guide you through the safest and most suitable option for your needs.

  • The process starts with a consultation and advanced diagnostic imaging to plan your treatment.
  • On surgery day, numbing drops are used to keep your eye comfortable.
  • A tiny incision is made, the cloudy lens is removed, and a clear artificial lens is placed.
  • You will rest briefly afterwards before going home.
  • Follow-up visits check your healing, and normal daily activities can usually resume within a short time.
  • Your surgeon will guide you throughout to ensure clarity on every step of your journey.

  • Many people notice clearer vision and improved comfort as the eye heals.
  • Distance vision, colour brightness and night driving may improve depending on your personalised treatment plan.
  • Near-vision needs will vary and may still require glasses for fine detail or low-light tasks.
  • Long-term results depend on general eye health and the type of lens chosen.
  • Regular eye checks and good care help maintain the best outcome. Your surgeon will discuss what you can reasonably expect based on your specific eyes and lifestyle.

Does relying on glasses and fading vision feel frustrating?
