Cataracts

What is a cataract?

A cataract is a gradual clouding of the eye's natural lens, which sits just behind the pupil and focuses light onto the back of the eye. As the lens loses its clarity, vision becomes misty, colours fade and glare becomes more intrusive. Cataracts are extremely common with age — and modern surgery is one of the safest and most effective procedures in medicine.

Common symptoms

  • Blurred, misty or dimmed vision
  • Glare from headlights, lamps or low sunlight
  • Colours appearing faded or yellowed
  • Difficulty reading or driving at night
  • Frequent changes of spectacle prescription

How cataracts are treated

Cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) removes the clouded natural lens through a tiny incision and replaces it with a clear artificial lens implant, measured and chosen specifically for your eye. The procedure is typically performed as day-case surgery under local anaesthetic and usually takes 15–20 minutes.

Most patients notice clearer, brighter vision within days, with simple eye drops and a short course of follow-up to guide recovery.

Your lens options

The right lens depends on your eyes, your lifestyle and your priorities — all discussed fully before any decision.

Monofocal

A single point of focus — usually set for clear distance vision, with glasses for reading. The most widely used and dependable choice.

Toric

Corrects astigmatism at the time of surgery, sharpening vision for patients whose cornea is not perfectly curved.

Premium & EDOF

Extended-depth-of-focus and multifocal designs that reduce dependence on glasses across a range of distances.

Enhanced monovision

One eye focused for distance and one for near — a tailored strategy Mr Garg plans with you where suitable.
