What is Cataract
Surgery?
Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective procedure for treating cataracts, a condition in which the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision. At The Cataract Clinic, we specialise in modern cataract surgery techniques to help restore clear vision.
The Basics of Cataract Surgery
Lens Removal
The cloudy natural lens is carefully removed from the eye.
IOL Implantation
An artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted to replace the natural lens.
Vision Restoration
The new lens allows light to pass clearly to the retina, improving vision.
Types of Cataract Surgery
Phacoemulsification
The most common technique, using ultrasound to break up the lens
Laser-Assisted Surgery
Advanced technology for precise incisions and lens fragmentation
Intraocular Lens Options
-
Provide clear vision at one distance (near, intermediate, or far)
