Cataract is a fogging of the eye’s natural lens: your world is blurred, colours are muted. During cataract surgery the eye’s natural lens is removed. Its replacement, a lens implant, may be customised to dramatically improve your eyesight.
Imperfections such as short or long sight, astigmatism, reading glasses and defects causing glare at night may all be treated – provided the optimum lens implant is used.
Customised lens implants are the best way to achieve freedom from glasses, especially reading glasses, after cataract surgery.
