Frequently Asked Questions
A. If cloudy or blurred vision, glare from lights, or faded colours are making daily tasks like reading, driving or watching TV difficult, it may be time. A consultation and eye examination will confirm whether surgery is recommended.
A. No. The eye is numbed with anaesthetic before surgery, so most patients feel little or no discomfort. Mild irritation for a few days afterwards is normal.
A. Phaco is the most advanced and widely used cataract surgery method. The cloudy lens is removed through a very small incision and replaced with a clear artificial lens, allowing faster recovery.
A. Options include monofocal lenses for clear distance vision, and premium lenses such as multifocal and toric lenses, which can reduce the need for glasses or correct astigmatism. Your surgeon will recommend the best option for your eyes and lifestyle.
A. Most patients notice clearer vision within a few days and return to normal daily activities within a week. Full healing usually takes a few weeks, with follow-up checks along the way.
