Cataract surgery normally takes less than 15 minutes per eye and does not require an overnight stay. Since the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, you will be able to return home following the procedure, and your vision will begin to return a few hours later.

Your vision may appear blurry post cataract surgery, and you will be required to wear a protective patch. The majority of patients see significant improvement in their vision within 48 hours of procedure. As your eye adjusts to the new intraocular lens, your vision should improve rapidly over the next two weeks. It may take up to eight weeks for the eye to recover completely.

Even though your eyes are open, you will not be able to observe the surgery. Many patients report seeing colours throughout their procedure and regard it as a pleasant experience.

Following the surgery, you will spend some time in our recovery room. You should then return home and rest in bed or sleep for a few hours. The following day, you will return for your first aftercare appointment, where your eye surgeon will confirm whether your eye is healing as intended. You will notice an improvement in your vision after a few days, and feelings such as dry or gritty eyes will usually reduce after a few weeks.

No. Cataracts cannot technically return after surgery because the cloudy natural lens has been removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens. However, some individuals may develop a condition known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), which occurs when the thin membrane (capsule) that contains the artificial lens gets clouded over time and is commonly referred to as a "secondary cataract."

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which sits below the iris and pupil. This clouding may lead to blurred vision, difficulties seeing in low light, and faded colours. Cataracts often develop gradually and are a frequent disorder related to ageing. They can be cured with surgery, which involves replacing the clouded lens with a clear artificial intraocular lens to restore clear vision

Patients who have undergone cataract surgery should wait at least three days before returning to work. If you operate in a dusty or smoky workplace, or if your job requires heavy lifting or bending down, it is recommended that you take two weeks off.

Since cataract surgery is a quick procedure, patients often stay awake throughout the procedure. The anaesthesia makes the treatment pleasant, however if you are extremely nervous, you might request a small sedative to help you relax.

Cataracts can lead to symptoms such as cloudy or fuzzy vision, glare and halos around bright lights, and difficulties seeing at night or in low light conditions. Cataracts can also affect colour perception, since colours appear less bright and faded when the natural lens gets clouded.

It is normal to have grittiness, watering, blurred/double vision, or bloodshot eyes following the surgical procedure. Mild sensitivity to light is also normal. These symptoms typically diminish within a few days, but a complete recovery can take 6-8 weeks.

As the first step on your path to clear vision, you can book online by filling out the form or requesting a call back.

If needed, over-the-counter pain medications such as paracetamol can be taken during the first few days of recovery.

The procedure itself is painless because it is performed under local anaesthesia. You will stay awake throughout the procedure; however, when the anaesthesia wears off, you might experience gritty eyes along with mild discomfort, which is normal. This typically lasts about one or two days.

No. As compared to contact lenses, which sit on the surface, synthetic lenses are inserted within the eye.

We usually treat both eyes on the same day. If this is not possible, the recommended time period between cataract procedures is usually one to four weeks. This permits the first eye to recover adequately and the surgeon to assess the results before proceeding with the second eye. The exact time frame may vary based on factors such as: Healing Response: The rate at which your eye heals and how quickly your vision returns to normal. Surgical Outcome: Any unanticipated complications or changes in vision that may influence the approach to the second procedure. Personal preferences and schedule: Some patients prefer a shorter interval to reduce interruption, but others may require more time to adjust. Your ophthalmologist will advise you on the most appropriate timing based on your individual circumstances and overall eye health.

You have the choice whether or not to wear contact lenses/glasses depending on the lens you select. This procedure, in addition to eliminating your cataract, may help you reduce or eliminate your need for glasses. We offer premium multifocal intraocular lenses that help improve long sightedness, short sightedness and reading vision and reading vision, reducing your need for glasses or contact lenses. If you choose a monofocal intraocular lens, you may achieve an excellent level of distance vision, but you may still need glasses for reading or close-up work.

While there is no guaranteed way to prevent cataracts from developing and they are usually associated with ageing, there are some precautions you may take to maintain healthy vision and reduce your risk of having them or slowing their progression: Protect your eyes from UV light - Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light may increase the chance of developing cataracts. To decrease exposure, wear 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors. Maintain a healthy diet - A diet rich in antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, can help protect your eyes. Consume leafy greens, citrus fruits, carrots, and almonds in your diet. Managing Health Conditions - Diabetes, for example, can raise your chance of developing cataracts. Managing blood sugar levels and other chronic health issues is critical for eye health. Maintain a Healthy Weight - Obesity increases the risk of cataracts, thus maintaining a healthy weight through diet and physical activity is important. Wear eye protection - Protect your eyes from injury by wearing safety glasses or goggles when engaging in activities that could cause eye trauma. Stop smoking and limit alcohol intake - Smoking and excessive alcohol intake have been related to a higher risk of cataract development. Quitting smoking and minimising alcohol consumption can lower your risk. Regular Eye Exams - Routine eye exams can help detect cataracts and other eye disorders early on, making it easier to monitor and treat them before they progress. By following these preventive measures as well as maintaining good overall health, you can help reduce your chance of acquiring cataracts or halt their progression over time.

You should avoid driving on the day of your surgery since your eyes will require time to recover. As vision improves quickly, you should be able to drive within a few days of surgery. The period of time you must wait before driving again depends on a number of factors which your consultant will discuss with you during your postoperative appointment.

Depending on your eye condition, both eyes can be treated on the same day, saving your time by eliminating multiple hospital visits. However, surgeons prefer to operate on one eye at a time for the following reasons: Safety and Risk Management: Performing surgery on both eyes at the same time increases the risk of complications such as infection or inflammation, which might affect both eyes simultaneously. Visual Adjustment: Having surgery on one eye first allows you to get used to the changes in your vision before proceeding on to the second. Customised Treatment: Once the first eye has recovered, the surgeon can determine a suitable intraocular lens (IOL) power and refine the surgical plan for the second eye.

Cataracts are not contagious and do not spread from one eye to other. However, if a patient develops a cataract in one eye, it is likely that a cataract will develop in the other as well.

During cataract surgery, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens. Your eye condition determines which implant is ideal for cataract surgery. At your pre-operative consultation, the ophthalmologist will go over the best options with you. The decision will be based on your vision, the glasses you usually use, and whether you have a cataract in your other eye. The final lens choice can normally be changed at any time prior to surgery.

If you were given an eye shield, wear it till the next morning. If instructed, re-tape the eye covering before sleeping for seven nights. You should also wear sunglasses outside for the first week after surgery, as this is good practice.

Cataract surgery involves removing your clouded natural lens and replacing it with a premium synthetic intraocular lens. The lens is specifically developed to improve your eyesight, allowing you to reduce your dependence on glasses or contacts.

The cost of cataract surgery varies depending on which treatment is chosen. NHS Treatment: The NHS normally covers standard monofocal lenses, but may not provide premium lens alternatives. However, wait times can be lengthy, often lasting months. Private Treatment: The cost of private cataract surgery normally ranges between £2,000 and £4,000 per eye, depending on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) used, the surgical facility, the surgeon's experience, and any further treatments required. This cost typically covers surgery, a standard monofocal lens, hospital costs, and follow-up care. Premium lenses (such as multifocal or toric lenses) could range even more.​ During the consultation, you will be able to get an estimate of the pricing. Finance alternatives are available to individuals who wish to pay in installments.​ Contact us for a complete cost breakdown and choices.

Cataract surgery is a highly effective, low-risk procedure. However, like with any surgical procedure, there are some minor risks, such as infections, bruising, and swelling. During the informed consent process, your consultant will go over these details with you.

If you've undergone laser eye surgery before, you can still get a cataract surgery. However, having undergone laser treatment may make it more difficult to calculate the requisite lens precision. However, we take numerous precautions to improve results after laser eye surgery. It is now much easier to achieve the highly accurate calculation results found in those who have never had laser eye surgery. This ensures that you have the best opportunity of achieving the excellent results you deserve.

Unlike contact lenses, which sit on the surface of your eye, a synthetic lens is placed inside it, so you will not feel any kind of discomfort

If you've had laser eye surgery before, you can get lens replacement surgery as well. Lens replacement surgery replaces the natural lens inside the eye, whereas laser eye surgery addresses the cornea. By scheduling a free consultation, we can assess your suitability for treatment.

You can simply reach us online to schedule your lens replacement surgery consultation and starting your journey towards enhanced vision. You may either fill out a form or request a call back.

We provide interest-free financing for up to 24 months. If necessary, additional credit is available beyond the 24-month period.

Most of lens replacement surgeries are performed on individuals over the age of 40. If you are unsure which treatment is best suited to your needs, we recommend scheduling an obligation-free consultation to conduct a comprehensive examination of your eye health to establish suitability and the recommended treatments.

Refractive eye surgery is extremely safe when performed by an experienced surgeon in a world-class healthcare facility.

When you choose Eagle Eye Care for lens replacement surgery, you can be confident that you are in safe, capable & experienced hands

Yes, lens replacement surgery can improve reading vision. In order to reduce your dependence on reading glasses, think about using a multifocal intraocular lens. A multifocal lens can also help with distance vision.

You can shower or bathe the day after surgery, but you should avoid exposing your eyes to direct water, soap, and shampoo for at least a week.

While cataract surgery for Keratoconus patients is more complex; it's still possible. We recommend scheduling a free consultation to determine whether you are a potential candidate for lens replacement surgery.

The lens surgery takes approximately fifteen minutes each eye.

The lens replacement surgery is painless and performed under local anaesthesia. Itchy and moderate discomfort may occur following the procedure; this is typical and should resolve within one or two days.

The cost of lens replacement surgery varies depending on the type of lens used, surgeon's experience, surgical facility and your particular requirements. For a basic monofocal lens replacement, the price typically starts at around £2,800 to £3,400 per eye. This cost typically covers surgery, a standard monofocal lens, clinic costs, and follow-up care. Multifocal lens replacements, which provide clearer vision at different distances and can reduce dependence on glasses, cost between £2,900 and £3,995 per eye. We offer financing options to make these procedures more affordable, with monthly repayments depending on the lens type and financing terms​. Your consultant will provide you with details on costs during your consultation

We recommend that our lens surgery patients wait three days before returning to work. However, because each patient is unique, your surgeon will make the best recommendations for you based on your recovery timeline and work scenario.

Lens replacement surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not experience any pain during the procedure. After lens replacement surgery, patients may experience some discomfort as the anaesthetic wears off, although this is usually short and decreases within a few hours.

At Eagle Eye Care, we often treat both eyes on the same day. Patients who are suitable for lens surgery often choose to have both eyes treated on the same day to ensure balanced vision and a faster return to normal life. However, in some circumstances, your doctor may advise treating each eye separately.

We recommend that you avoid exercising for at least one week following lens replacement surgery. After that, you can start with light to moderate activity like walking or stretching. You should refrain from strenuous exercise for at least four weeks. Jogging, aerobics, yoga, weight lifting, football, running, cycling, and tennis are some of the options.

Lens replacement surgery is one of the most common elective surgery performed worldwide today. The natural lens in the eye is replaced with an additional synthetic premium intraocular lens during this safe and effective procedure. This type of procedure can be used to correct distance, intermediate, and near vision, as well as to treat cataracts.

In general, you should be able to watch television after a few hours of getting home after the procedure. It is recommended, however, that you allow your eyes to rest and recover on the day of procedure.

Astigmatism is present in the majority of people from birth, however it can also develop later in life. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens become unevenly formed. People with astigmatism may experience vision problems, headaches, eye discomfort, and nausea. The positive aspect is that astigmatism can be treated with refractive lens surgery, such as LASIK or corrective lenses. Schedule a free appointment if you've been diagnosed and want to treat the problem, improve your life, and eliminate uncomfortable symptoms.

Strenuous activity should be avoided immediately after treatment, which means you won't be able to drive the day of surgery. Lots of factors influence how long you must wait before driving again. In general, vision recovers quickly, so you should be set to drive within a few days of surgery. At your post-operative consultation, your eye surgeon will advise you on when it is safe to drive again.

Most people return to work within 3 days of undergoing lens replacement surgery, though this depends on the nature of their profession. Your vision will gradually improve within the first few weeks after our treatment. If you do not work in a dusty or smoky environment, you should be able to return to work within three days, or whenever your eye feels comfortable again. For professions performed on dusty environment, we recommend avoiding for around two weeks after the surgery

The specialist intraocular lens used during lens replacement surgery does not deteriorate. Conditions affecting your eye health, such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma, might have an impact on your vision later in life. These eye health disorders can arise independently of surgery, which means that lens replacement surgery does neither cause, nor does it prevent, their development. Assuming you do not develop any problems that compromise your eye health, you will be able to see clearly without the use of glasses or contacts.

Local anaesthesia is administered during lens replacement surgery. The risks of using general anaesthesia for this quick procedure outweigh its benefits. You may discuss with our anaesthetists about having sedation administered on the day of procedure. Most of our patients choose to proceed with treatment under local anaesthesia, and sedation is only administered to those who are especially nervous about the day of procedure.

Refractive eye surgery and LASIK are two surgical procedures that can improve your vision. Refractive lens surgery involves removing the natural lens inside the eye and replacing it with a lens that corrects the eye's prescription. LASIK is a corneal surface layer procedure in which the surgeon utilises lasers to form a flap in the cornea. The surgeon lifts the flap and reshapes the cornea with lasers. The flap is then restored, and the cornea starts to heal itself.

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) involves replacing the natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) methods keep the natural lens inside the eye while a specialist intraocular lens is implanted in front of it. Your surgeon will recommend the best procedure for you.

Lens replacement surgery provides a permanent solution to visual disorders such as presbyopia (the gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus on nearby things), astigmatism (near vision and fuzzy distance), cataracts, long-sightedness (hyperopia), and short-sightedness (myopia). If you rely only on glasses or daily or monthly contact lenses, refractive lens surgery can give you with a permanent and life-changing answer to your existing vision problems. Simply said, replacing your lenses is a long-term investment.

Definitely. Lens replacement surgery is beneficial for individuals who have cataracts or are at high risk of developing them. This procedure will remove your clouded lens and replace it with a new premium intraocular lens. By successfully removing the cloudy natural lens, we can prevent cataracts from returning in the future.

The majority of patients experience considerable improvement in their vision within 48 hours following procedure. The time it takes for your eyesight to fully settle is unique to you and depends on many factors, including the type of intraocular lens used during the procedure.

Lens replacement surgery can correct long- and short-sightedness while also enhancing reading vision, reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses. If you use monofocal lenses to improve your distance vision, you may still require glasses for reading or close-up work. Similarly, people who wear monofocal lenses to improve their near vision may still need glasses to drive.

It all is dependent upon what causes it. If the glare and halos in your eyesight are caused by the formation of a cataract, lens replacement surgery can improve not only your distant vision but also your quality of vision by eliminating this side effect. By scheduling a free consultation, you may do a comprehensive eye exam to discover the cause of your glare and halos and the best treatment option.

Refractive eye surgery is most suited to those over the age of 50, as that is when presbyopia typically develops. However, if you are under 40, have a high prescription, and have been assessed as unsuitable for laser eye surgery, you may be a perfect fit for lens replacement. During your free consultation, the consultant will perform a number of tests to decide whether lens replacement surgery is suitable for you.

There is no age limit for lens replacement surgery. Indeed, the procedure can be extremely beneficial to people over the age of 60 because it is often used to remove cataracts, which are widespread among this age group. Each patient is unique, hence we recommend scheduling a free consultation to decide which treatment is most suitable for your eyes.

Laser eye surgery is considered an elective procedure, thus most insurance plans do not cover it. Some plans and vision insurance may provide discounts or partial coverage. .

Yes. However, as each situation is unique, your consultant will evaluate your individual eligibility to see whether you are suitable for another treatment. Essentially, it will be based on the amount of tissue present in the eye and how much was removed during the initial surgery.

Surgery can be performed on one eye at a time, although both eyes are typically treated on the same day. By scheduling a free appointment, your doctor will perform a range of comprehensive tests to determine your suitability for treatment and will prescribe the refractive surgical option that is most likely to result in the best clinical outcome.

Laser eye surgery effectively corrects a patient's vision by reshaping the cornea, and the results generally last for a lifetime. However, age-related vision abnormalities, such as presbyopia, can still occur and require reading glasses or additional treatment.

Lens replacement surgery can improve near vision, commonly known as presbyopia, removing the need for visual aids like reading glasses. Presbyopia is most common after the age of 40, therefore lens replacement surgery may be a better vision correction option than laser eye surgery. If you are unclear if you are a candidate for laser eye surgery, please reach out to us to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our laser eye surgeons and learn more about how we may assist.

Each laser eye surgery treatment is individually tailored to a specific individual with unique eye health needs. LASIK is best suited for people with hyperopia or myopia, whereas LASEK is excellent for those with thin or flat corneas. If you are concerned about the continued cost of glasses and/or contact lenses, find them inconvenient, or believe they affect your eye health, laser eye surgery may be an appropriate choice. To decide which laser eye treatment is ideal for you, you must first get a comprehensive eye examination by a qualified practitioner.

Significant visual shifts could require enhancement procedures. This is less common as laser technology advances and pre-surgical examinations become more comprehensive

Laser eye surgery is normally a quick procedure which lasts 15-20 minutes, although the amount of time the laser is applied to your eye could vary from a few seconds to two minutes, depending on the complexity of your prescription. The complete procedure, including preparation, usually takes around 30 minutes. However, we recommend that you set aside 2-3 hours during the day for the correct preparation and first aftercare activities to start. We use cutting-edge, advanced laser eye technology to provide our patients with the best possible results, including a faster and more comfortable experience

Before the laser is administered, painless anaesthesia eye drops are used to ensure comfort and suppress the natural blink reflex, and a soft, comfortable lid holder is used to keep you from blinking.

You can book online as the first step towards a clear vision by filling out the form or requesting a call back.

LASIK involves creating a flap in the cornea, using a laser to reshape the underlying corneal tissue, then replacing the flap. PRK and LASEK reshape the cornea without creating a flap.

Laser eye surgery is often painless and comfortable. There is also very little discomfort following the treatment, so don't worry if you are worried about the pain. The level of discomfort you experience will vary depending on the type of surgery you underwent, but any pain will be brief, and you will be able to enjoy the benefits of improved vision within a few days.

Yes. Laser eye surgery is ideal for patients for correcting astigmatism, along with other refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia).

If you are pregnant, you will have to wait to be eligible for treatment since hormonal changes might affect your vision. Three months after giving birth, you can consider undergoing laser eye surgery.

Yes, we provide a range of financing alternatives, including interest-free financing for up to 24 months.

The cost of Laser Eye Surgery has become increasingly affordable, and it can vary greatly depending on several factors like the procedure type, technology used, surgeon expertise, and so on. While cost is an important factor, it should not be the only consideration when choosing a laser eye surgery provider. Quality of care, surgeon experience, and clinic success rates are all significant. Choosing a recognised and skilled surgeon can give you peace of mind and boost the chances of a successful outcome. During the appointment, you will be able to get an estimated cost. We offer a range of finance options to assist you spread the expense.

It is critical that you refrain from wearing contact lenses prior to your surgery. Soft contact lenses should be removed at least seven days before surgery, and hard lenses at least four weeks before surgery. During the consultation, your surgeon will advise you on how long you should leave your contact lenses out.

The key difference is how the outer layers of the cornea are treated, and the most appropriate procedure can be determined by many of factors, including your cornea's thickness and shape as measured with our cutting-edge equipment. LASIK is the most common type of laser eye surgery. A laser forms a flap that is softly lifted, allowing the cornea to be reshaped. Some people experience a speedy vision recovery after this treatment. LASEK is most suited for patients with minor eye focussing issues, particularly those with thin corneas or dry eyes who do not qualify for LASIK. Instead of making a flap, the delicate surface of the cornea is loosened and folded back before it is reshaped. If your eye's unique characteristics make you an unsuitable candidate for LASIK procedure, you may be recommended to choose LASEK treatment instead.

Dry eyes, glare, light halos, and fluctuating vision are some of the most common side effects. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, vision loss, or corneal flap issues.

Candidates that are suitable are usually over the age of 18, have a stable prescription for at least a year, and have healthy corneas. During your free consultation with one of our expert laser eye surgeons, you will undergo an in-depth assessment to evaluate your eligibility.

Follow your surgeon's guidelines, which may include stopping use of contact lenses a few weeks before surgery, avoiding makeup, lotions, or perfumes on the day of the procedure, and making arrangements for someone to take you home.

Your results could be instant. However, it varies from one another. Most patients report significant improvements in vision within 24 hours of the procedure. You will see noticeable changes at the end of your recovery period, which depends on a number of factors, including the type of treatment you underwen

If you participate in contact sports on a regular basis, you may be a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery because wearing glasses or contact lenses is inconvenient. During your comprehensive pre-operative assessments, your surgeon will advise you on the best procedure for you.

The success rate of laser eye surgery are extremely high, with the vast majority of patients experiencing stable vision over time, as well as improvements in visual acuity, with a 20/20 Vision signifying a high degree of satisfaction. For the majority of patients, laser eye surgery offers a life-changing opportunity to reduce or eliminate their dependence for glasses or contact lenses.

The most common procedures are LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), and LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy).

Laser eye surgery is a medical procedure that involves reshaping the cornea by using a laser to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Most patients are able to return work and routine activities within a few days. To reduce the risk of infection, avoid strenuous activities, swimming, and rubbing your eyes for several weeks following your laser eye surgery. Your surgeon will advise you during your aftercare appointments.

Your recovery time will be determined by a number of factors, including your age, the type of treatment you received, and your body's natural healing ability. While the vast majority of patients experience improved vision within 24 hours of surgery, a complete recovery can take many weeks or months.
