Restoring Clear Vision
Cataract Service
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens. It is the leading cause of reversible blindness — and one of the most successfully treated conditions in all of medicine.
Cataract surgery here is a planned, unhurried process: careful measurement, honest counselling about outcomes, and a theatre standard we are proud of.
Symptoms
Gradual blurring
Vision becomes misty, as if looking through a dirty window.
Glare and haloes
Headlights and sunlight scatter uncomfortably, especially when driving.
Fading colours
Whites look yellowed and colours lose their vibrancy.
Frequent lens changes
Your spectacle prescription keeps shifting without improving vision.
Diagnosis
Visual acuity & refraction
Establishes how much the cataract is affecting daily function.
Slit lamp examination
Grades the type and density of the cataract precisely.
Retinal assessment
Confirms the retina and optic nerve can support good vision after surgery.
Biometry
Measures the eye to select the correct intraocular lens power.
