Understanding cataracts
What is a Cataract?
A cataract is a cloudy area in the eye's natural lens. The lens normally helps focus light on the retina so you can see clearly.
Most cataracts develop as the eye changes with age. As the lens becomes cloudier, vision may become blurry or hazy, colours can appear faded, and seeing clearly at night can become more difficult.
Cataracts can be treated with surgery
During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. An eye examination helps determine when surgery is appropriate for you.

Signs & symptoms
When should you consider surgery?
Cataract surgery may be considered when changes in vision begin to interfere with daily activities, safety or independence. An ophthalmologist can assess whether cataracts are the cause and discuss the right timing.
01Blurred or hazy vision
Blurred or hazy vision interferes with reading, work or other daily activities.
Clinical next step: detailed cataract assessment02Updated glasses are no longer enough
Updated glasses no longer provide enough improvement for everyday tasks.
03Glare, halos or difficulty seeing at night
Glare, halos or difficulty seeing at night makes driving or moving around less comfortable.
04Colours appear faded
Colours appear faded or less vivid than before.
05Double vision or frequent vision changes
Double vision or frequent vision changes are affecting one eye.

Treatment options
Cataract Surgery and Treatment Options
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, making vision blurry or hazy. You may find it harder to read, drive, recognise faces or carry out everyday activities. After examining your eyes, our doctor will explain the available treatment options and help you understand which approach may be right for you.
01
Phacoemulsification
This technique uses ultrasound energy to break the cloudy lens into smaller pieces, which are then removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
02
Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS)
This procedure removes the cloudy lens through a small incision in the eye. Your doctor will determine whether this technique is suitable for you.
03
Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS)
This technique uses a very small incision to remove the cloudy lens, where appropriate for the patient's eye condition.
04
Topical Anaesthesia (No-Injection Technique)
For suitable patients, cataract surgery can be performed using anaesthetic eye drops instead of an injection around the eye. Your doctor will explain whether this option is appropriate for you.
05
Paediatric Cataract Surgery
Cataracts can also affect children. An eye specialist will assess the child's condition and discuss the appropriate treatment and care.
06
YAG Laser Capsulotomy
Sometimes, the thin membrane behind an artificial lens becomes cloudy after cataract surgery. A YAG laser procedure may be recommended to help restore clearer vision.
Lens options
Our advanced cataract care
Types of intraocular lenses (IOLs)—choose the option that best suits your lifestyle with guidance from your ophthalmologist.
Single focus lens
Standard Monofocal
Provides clear vision at one distance, usually far. Reading glasses may still be needed for close work.
- Clear distance vision
- Covered by insurance
- Proven reliability
Multiple focus lens
Premium Multifocal
Enables clear vision at multiple distances—near, intermediate and far—reducing dependence on glasses.
- Multiple focal points
- Reduced glasses dependency
- Enhanced lifestyle
Extended depth of focus
EDOF IOL
Provides a continuous range of clear vision from distance to intermediate, with minimal glare and enhanced night vision.
- Distance to intermediate vision
- Reduced glare and halos at night
- Natural visual continuity
Astigmatism correction
Toric Lens
Specially designed to correct astigmatism while providing clear distance vision in one procedure.
- Corrects astigmatism
- Sharper clarity
- Single procedure
Enhanced monofocal lens
Enhanced Monofocal
Provides clear distance vision with the potential for improved intermediate vision, depending on the lens design and individual needs.
- Clear distance vision
- Potentially improved intermediate vision
- Lens selection based on individual needs
Lens availability and suitability vary. No lens can guarantee complete freedom from glasses; your surgeon will explain expected benefits, limitations and possible visual effects.

PRE-OPERATIVE ASSESSMENT
Optical Biometry for
Precise IOL Calculation
Optical biometry helps measure important dimensions of the eye before cataract surgery. These measurements help the doctor calculate the appropriate power of the artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). The final lens choice depends on your eye measurements, eye health and individual vision needs.
Benefits of modern cataract surgery
Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy natural lens with an artificial lens, with the aim of improving useful vision and everyday comfort.
Better night vision
Replacing a clouded lens may reduce glare and haloing, helping with comfort in low light.
Clearer everyday vision
Removing the cloudy lens may improve clarity for reading, faces and everyday surroundings.
Brighter colour perception
Many people notice colours appear brighter after the clouded natural lens is replaced.
Results vary with the health of the eye, the selected lens and individual healing. Your ophthalmologist will discuss realistic expectations before surgery.

FAQs
Clear answers to your questions
Helpful guidance about cataract surgery, lens selection, recovery and what to expect from your consultation.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use topical anaesthetic drops in suitable cases, which eliminates the need for an injection around the eye. You may feel mild pressure, but pain is not expected. If you feel anxious, let us know — we will take care of you.
The surgical procedure itself typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye. You will spend additional time for preparation and monitoring before and after. Most patients are discharged the same day.
Recovery varies by individual. Many patients notice improved vision within a day or two. Your surgeon will give you specific guidance on activity restrictions based on your case.
Yes, a cornea assessment is usually part of planning. It helps your surgeon judge corneal shape and health so the right lens and technique can be chosen for you.
Diabetes can affect the eyes, and careful assessment is essential. Our team will evaluate the health of your retina and overall control before recommending any procedure. Please bring your recent blood sugar and HbA1c reports.
