Your guide to cataract surgery and advanced lens options

Helping you to understand your options

A cataract is a common eye condition where the lens inside the eye becomes cloudy, leading to a decrease in vision. It’s like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. This cloudiness can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night), or see the expression on a friend’s face. Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. The main cause of cataracts is ageing, but other factors like diabetes, smoking, prolonged exposure to sunlight, and previous eye injury can contribute. Symptoms include blurred vision, difficulty with bright lights, and seeing colours as faded.

Monofocal

Monofocal lenses are designed to focus on one distance: near, intermediate, or far. Most people choose to have their monofocal lenses set for clear distance vision, often requiring glasses for reading or close work.

Premium Multifocal/Trifocal Lens

Multifocal/ Trifocal lenses allow for clear vision at multiple distances, aiming to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. These lenses have several zones set at different powers, enabling the eye to focus on objects near, far, and in-between. Multifocal lenses are ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive solution to presbyopia and cataracts, offering a chance to enjoy clear vision across a range of activities.

Premium Toric Lens

Toric lenses are specialised artificial lenses designed to correct astigmatism, a common vision problem caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. Used in cataract surgery, these lenses help to focus light more accurately onto the retina, providing clearer vision. Toric lenses are tailored to each individual’s specific curvature needs, offering a precise solution to astigmatism.

Had cataract surgery on both eyes simultaneously last week and, 7 days later, the vision is brilliant. I can see to read as well, including small print smaller than I expected! I can see car number plates at the end of the road. Everything was excellent, and I could not have wished for anything better.

My cataract surgery was a great experience. My vision is now brighter; overall, I felt informed and secure throughout, and I am glad I did it and definitely recommend Sharmina Khan. Everyone at the hospital was great, very professional, friendly, and treated me very nicely. During the surgery, I didn’t feel any pain at any time. The recovery was very easy and smooth.

I was very nervous about having cataract surgery, as I have other medical conditions in both eyes. Ms. Khan allayed all of my fears and explained everything in detail to me. Now that both surgeries are completed, I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I’m seeing things I’ve not been able to see properly in years. Amazing!

I had cataract surgery in both eyes. The procedure was painless, easy to understand, and swift. My anxiety levels were very low, and recovery was quick and easy. I was just so relaxed. My vision was like being Wonder Woman. It was so clear, and it was like someone had cleaned a window. Now, my vision is fine for reading, computer use, and using a sewing machine.

Extremely happy with vision following cataract surgery. I wish I had it done sooner. The colors I am experiencing, I didn’t know existed. The experience was really good; it wasn’t much painful. I really enjoyed the sandwiches afterward. When I got home, I saw every little mark on the walls and now am cleaning up!

6/5. Incredibly impressed with Miss Khan’s bedside manner and operation and consultation. I have had the Synergy toric lens and have experienced a dramatic increase in distance vision. Now, I am able to read stuff on the television perfectly, and reading small print, I can now read the back of a tin of beans!

Miss Khan was very professional, and both my eyes had trifocal intra-ocular lens implants (toric in the left). The risks and benefits were explained to my satisfaction, and I was very nervous. However, the procedure and the recovery were painless. I now have perfect unaided vision in both eyes and would recommend Miss Khan, 10 out of 10.

I’m so pleased I sought Sharmina Khan’s help. My dry eye problem was debilitating. I turned up to my appointment in a very worried state and left reassured. My eyes are now vastly better. I feel in good hands. Thank you!

I have had Lipiflow a few times now, and I couldn’t do without it because it really gets rid of my gritty and sore eyes for months at a time. Lipiflow has helped me go back to doing normal things without getting frustrated, like driving, tolerating air conditioning, generally tolerating different humidity levels, and not feeling like I need to use eye drops all the time. I would highly recommend it.
