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.

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 assessment
02Updated 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.

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.

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.

Results vary with the health of the eye, the selected lens and individual healing. Your ophthalmologist will discuss realistic expectations before surgery.

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.
