Understanding the Condition
What is Cataract Surgery?
A cataract is clouding of the natural crystalline lens inside the eye, causing progressive blurring, glare, and colour distortion. Cataract surgery removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring vision clarity.
Modern phacoemulsification is a blade-free, stitch-free day procedure taking 15–20 minutes per eye. Patients typically notice dramatic vision improvement within 24–48 hours. Femtosecond laser-assisted surgery offers even greater precision for complex cases and premium lens implantation.
Signs you may have cataracts
- Blurry or foggy vision not corrected by new glasses
- Glare and halos around lights at night
- Fading or yellowing of colours
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
- Difficulty reading small print or recognising faces
