Overview
A cataract is clouding of the natural lens of the eye. Cataracts usually develop gradually and can affect reading, driving, glare tolerance, and overall visual quality.
Common Symptoms
- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Increased glare from bright lights
- Difficulty reading in low light
- Colours appearing dull or faded
How We Assess
- Comprehensive eye examination
- Visual acuity and refraction testing
- Slit-lamp and retinal assessment
- Biometry and lens planning measurements when surgery is suitable
Treatment Options
- Monitoring for mild cataracts
- Spectacle adjustment where appropriate
- Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation when clinically indicated
- Lens options discussed based on clinical findings and visual goals
What To Expect
Your consultation includes clinical assessment and discussion of whether surgery is appropriate now or later. If surgery is recommended, we explain expected benefits, limitations, and follow-up care.
