About Cataract Surgery

What is a Cataract?

Inside your eye you have a lens. The job of the lens is to focus the light so you can see clearly. The lens is clear when you are young, but becomes progressively cloudier and more yellow as you age. This clouding of the lens is called a cataract, and it causes your vision to become blurred. You might also find yourself more sensitive to light. A cataract itself is not harmful to your eye.

Who develops Cataracts?

Cataract development is a normal part of aging, and everyone develops a degree of cataract as they get older. It can also occur at a younger age related to a previous injury to the eye, medication use, or chronic illnesses such as diabetes.

The Pre-Exam

Before your cataract surgery, you will be examined by an eye doctor, who will recommend the best treatment for you. Your eyes will be measured to help decide which lens strength is right for you.
Usually, the aim is make your distance vision spectacle free, so that you’ll only need glasses for reading. However, you might need glasses for both distance vision and reading after the surgery, particularly if you have a history of astigmatism or an irregularly shaped eye.

What does Cataract Surgery involve?

Cataract surgery involves removing your cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial lens. Both eyes are treated the same day under local anaesthesia. You are awake but your eyes will not feel any pain. The operation usually takes about half an hour.
You will not be able to see properly during the operation, but you may notice bright lights
or colours. Small incisions are made in the side of the eye, and ultrasound is used to remove your cataract, and then it is replaced with the artificial lens. The new lens is a permanent solution that rarely needs to be replaced. You will then be seen for a follow up control the day after your surgery.

Why should I have Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery aims to improve your vision. Once the cataract is removed you should be
able to see more clearly. Your colour perception may also improve.
