What are cataracts?

Cataracts are a common eye condition characterised by the clouding of the natural lens within the eye. This leads to impaired vision as light cannot effectively enter the eye. Cataracts usually develop gradually with age however, they can be caused by other factors as well, such as an eye injury or underlying health problems.

What are the symptoms of cataracts?

  • Cloudy, blurred or dimmed vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty seeing at night particularly noticeable when driving
  • Frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescription
  • Colours appearing less vibrant, dull and sometimes yellowed
  • Noticing halos (rings) around lights, particularly at night

How is cataract surgery performed ?

1 – A 2.2mm micro incision is made through the cornea (front of the eye) to access the lens.

2 – An ultrasonic probe breaks up the cataract into very small pieces to allow removal via the micro incision.

3 – A clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is then placed inside the eye, where the natural lens used to reside. This is done by passing a foldable IOL through the micro incision that unfolds automatically once inside the eye.

4- In the end, the wound is self-sealing and no stitches or sutures are usually required.

Understanding Cataract Surgery

What are the advantages of Alcon Centurion with Active Fluidics?

Safety:  Active Fluidics technology reduces turbulence and instability during cataract surgery to achieve the highest levels of safety.

Efficiency: Low energy usage using the built in pulsed phaco technology means less ultrasonic energy is used to remove the cataract. 

Comfort: Centurion operates at very low eye pressures for optimal patient comfort.

Faster Visual Recovery: Use of high energy efficiency and low operating pressures leads to faster visual recovery.

Reduced Treatment Time: High suction rate quickly removes the cataract to reduce procedure time.

What types of lens implants (IOLs) are available?

At Angel Eyes we offer all types  of IOL implants to best suit your visual requirements and your lifestyle. All IOLs mentioned below are available in toric (astigmatism correcting) and non-toric versions.

Expected Quality of Vision Without Glasses
IOL Type Distance (Driving, cinema) Intermediate (Computer) Near (Reading) Notes
Monofocal Excellent Excellent vision for distance but glasses required for intermediate and near work.
Advanced Monofocal Excellent Possibly Advanced monofocals offer better vision than standard monofocal lenses, but less than EDOF. They may improve intermediate vision for some patients.
Bifocal Good Good Glare and halos may occur.
Enhanced Depth of Focus (EDOF) Excellent Good Possibly These lenses provide less near vision than Trifocals. Most users see well for reading but will need glasses for small print. Glare and halos may occur.
Trifocal Good Good Good Glare and halos may occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cataract surgery painful?

Generally, cataract surgery is not painful, as the eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops and injection around the eye. Some irritation is possible after surgery which settles with the prescribed eye drops.

Can cataracts return after surgery?

No, they cannot return as the natural lens has been removed and replaced with an artificial lens.

How long does recovery take?

For most patients, significant visual improvement is experienced within the first few days’ post-surgery. Typically, cataract eye surgery healing time can take around 4-6 weeks. During this recovery period, you should follow your surgeons’ advice, including using prescribed eye drops and avoiding vigorous activities.

Will glasses be required after surgery?

Glasses may still be required depending on the type of lens chosen.
