Cataracts can significantly impact your vision and quality of life. At The Forbury Clinic, we offer cataract surgery, a cutting-edge procedure that removes cataracts with unmatched precision. Using a tiny incision of 2mm, this minimally invasive approach promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of complications. Our skilled surgeons utilise advanced technology to provide excellent outcomes tailored to your unique needs.
With a range of premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) available, including monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses, you can achieve improved vision and reduce dependency on glasses. If you’re experiencing cloudy vision or difficulty with daily activities, contact us today to explore your options and take the first step toward clearer vision.
Benefits of Cataract Surgery
Minimally Invasive Procedure:
Utilises a tiny incision of 2mm, resulting in reduced trauma to the eye and faster healing.
Enhanced Vision Quality:
Restores clarity and improves focus, with premium intraocular lenses offering options for near, intermediate, and distance vision.
Quick Recovery Time:
Most patients experience significant vision improvement within days, allowing for a rapid return to normal activities.
Improved Safety and Precision:
Advanced technology ensures precise outcomes with a lower risk of complications compared to traditional methods.
What to Expect During the Procedure
On the Day of Surgery
Performed as a day procedure under local anaesthesia, micro-incision cataract surgery ensures patient comfort throughout. The surgeon removes the cloudy lens and inserts the chosen IOL through the small incision.
Post-Surgery Recovery
With no need for stitches, the eye heals naturally. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. Follow-up appointments ensure optimal recovery and vision improvement.
Complications & Risks
Cataract surgery is a highly successful procedure, but like any operation, it comes with some risks. While complications are rare and usually treatable, understanding the potential risks and benefits can help you make an informed decision about your treatment.
Infection:
Although rare, infection inside the eye (endophthalmitis) can occur and will require additional treatment and may result in sight loss.
Retinal Detachment:
A small risk of retinal detachment exists, which may necessitate further surgery and could affect vision.
Residual Vision Problems:
Some patients may experience glare, halos, or minor refractive issues that might require additional corrective measures.
Other Complications:
Issues such as inflammation, swelling, or bleeding are possible but typically treatable with prompt care.
