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.
