Here are some frequently asked questions from cataract patients just like you.
Cataract surgery is recommended when your vision impairment affects your daily life and cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
The surgical procedure typically takes around 15-30 minutes per eye.
We provide various advanced techniques, including traditional phacoemulsification and state-of-the-art laser-assisted cataract surgery. The specific type of surgery utilised will be patient-centric and discussed during your initial consultation.
Before surgery, you’ll undergo a comprehensive eye examination and receive preoperative instructions. You’ll also discuss lens implant options with our experts.
While cataract surgery is generally safe and it’s very rare any complications occur, like any surgery there are potential risks such as infection or retinal detachment. Our experienced surgeons will explain these in detail during your consultation.

Terms & Conditions
*The fast-tracked appointments are typically within 4-6 weeks. This timeframe can depend on multiple factors.
* Price per week per eye is payable over a 60 month period only at 14.9% APR with a £500 Deposit.
*Complimentary care with our Optometry team for one year following surgery, additional treatments or appointments with consultants may incur additional costs
*A laser procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy is occasionally required to sharpen vision 6 months to 3 years after cataract / lens surgery. The formation of a secondary cataract can occur – a condition where the skin of the old lens becomes cloudy. About one in five patients will suffer this complication in the two years following surgery. It is easily treated with a straight-forward laser treatment (YAG laser capsulotomy) while you are fully awake and sitting in a chair. No anaesthetic is needed. The total charge for this procedure and review (including initial consultation) is £450 unilateral and £800 bilateral. Please note that this will be in addition to the fee paid for your procedure.
