Your questions answered: Discover the life-changing benefits of premium cataract surgery

Quickly discover how this revolutionary eye treatment can give you visual freedom in moments
  • A cataract does not need to be “ripe” or “ready” for surgery, as some people may think.
  • Cataract surgery is appropriate for anyone that has symptoms of cataract, has discussed the benefits and risks of cataract removal with their surgeon, and feels that treatment is the right decision for them.
  • This decision is very individual as symptoms that are felt to be minor by one person may be extremely troublesome to another person. This is the reason that a detailed discussion with an experienced surgeon is an essential step in deciding whether or not to proceed with surgery.
Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is a modern method of cataract removal and replacement with a biocompatible lens implant inside the eye. The cloudy crystalline lens is called the cataract inside the eye, positioned behind the clear window of the eye (cornea) and the coloured part of your eye (iris).

Advantages

  • Over 90% of patients achieve excellent (20/25 or better) distance vision without glasses.
  • Premium cataract surgery is very successful, with very high patient satisfaction and extremely low complication rates.
  • The procedure typically takes less than half an hour and does not require an overnight stay.
  • Vision is usually improved the day after surgery.
  • Recovery is typically short and uneventful.
  • The lens implants are permanent and ordinarily do not need to be replaced.

Disadvantages

  • Compared to traditional cataract surgery, the adaptation period is longer after surgery and it may take more time for your vision to stabilise.
  • Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is the most common procedure carried out in the United Kingdom and has a good safety profile and outcomes.
  • Sharmina Khan will discuss individual risks and benefits when you attend for a consultation.

Femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)

  • Femtosecond laser cataract surgery works using ultrafast pulses in the range of 10-15 per second. This allows a greater deal of precision, and is less invasive than other methods, resulting in reduced strain on the surrounding tissue and a quicker recovery.
  • Standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery is the most common method of cataract removal where a small incision (2.2-2.4mm) is made in the cornea and a probe is inserted to emulsify the cataractous/clear crystalline lens.
  • This is a day case procedure carried out under local anaesthetic and sedation. Due to her experience Sharmina Khan usually employs topical (drops) anaesthesia and only subtenons (injection around the eye) if the case is higher risk. Sedation allows for a more relaxed patient experience.
  • The cataract is accessed through a 2.2mm incision made through the cornea using a pen-like phaco-probe.
  • This probe vibrates at ultrasonic frequency. It softens (emulsifies) the cataract and breaks it into small manageable pieces which are then aspirated (vacuumed out) along fluid filled plastic tubing away from the eye.
  • A foldable implant is inserted into the eye like a taco and this opens up for ideal lens placement.
  • This is a refractive opportunity to reduce your spectacle dependence or make you almost spectacle independent and achieve sharper focus by employing either blended mini-monovision or trifocals.
After cataract surgery, patients can usually go home within a few hours. In the days that follow, there may be some discomfort within the first week. Visual recovery is experienced the next day and will continue to improve in the first week and thereafter. Full recovery can take up to 12 weeks.

Does navigating life with cataracts feel overwhelming?

If so, you have the choice to book a free eye assessment and change your life

Adjusting to life with cataracts

Are you noticing that your vision isn’t as clear as it used to be, perhaps a bit hazy or cloudy? Living with cataracts can significantly affect your daily activities and overall well-being. An eye assessment can be the first step towards regaining your clear, sharp vision, enhancing your quality of life.

Recently diagnosed with cataracts

If you’ve just been diagnosed with cataracts, it’s normal to feel anxious about the next steps. Remember, cataract surgery is a reliable and effective way to improve your vision. Booking a free assessment can provide you with the information and reassurance you need to move forward confidently.

The hassle of glasses with cataracts

Juggling reading glasses on top of cataract-related vision issues can be a daily frustration, impacting your independence and enjoyment of life. Cataract surgery offers a solution to enjoy clear vision, potentially reducing or even eliminating your dependence on glasses. A free assessment can be your gateway to regaining a more convenient and fulfilling lifestyle.

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.
