Overcome the constraints of cataracts and be glasses-free

Go beyond standard cataract surgery and choose a solution that matches your needs and lifestyle

A blessing in disguise

For many of my patients in North Wales, Cheshire and Manchester, the arrival of cataracts lead them to embrace a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity which can result in having better vision than they’ve had their entire lives – and it’s all thanks to premium cataract surgery.

Gain clear vision at both distance and near

Premium cataract surgery not only removes your cataracts but can also alleviate your need for reading and distance glasses. My patients tell me that this amazing procedure gave them back a sense of freedom, convenience and independence that they thought they had lost but were relieved to regain.

Never put an age limit on your dreams

The onset of cataracts is often a gradual and subtle change. All of a sudden, however, you may find that you are unable to drive. Or, you notice you’ve withdrawn from many activities you used to enjoy like reading, gardening and cooking. I’m here to help you turn this around. After premium cataract surgery, you’ll gain a new lease on life and will be eager to throw yourself into all of the activities you enjoy with the people you love.

Stop waiting and start living

In today’s climate of long waiting lists and uncertainty around treatment options, many people are not getting the clear and personal service they desire. My patients don’t have to wait. Once they’ve decided to move forward with premium cataract surgery, we secure a date in the diary and help you achieve the exceptional results you deserve tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

After treatment, my patients discover that age really is just a number and that they can reclaim the colourful, rich life they deserve.

If you’d like to know the ins and outs of premium cataract surgery we have all the information you need below

Who is suitable for premium cataract surgery?

You do not need to wait until the cataract is “ripe” or “mature” to have cataract surgery. You can have surgery as soon as your cataract interferes with your quality of life. For example, if you find it hard to read, see clearly, or notice road signs when driving, it might be time to have them removed.

Premium cataract surgery works by removing the cloudy natural lens of your eye and replacing it with a clear artificial lens.

Unlike the lenses we use in standard cataract surgery which are fixed focus for one distance, premium lenses can be used to improve your distance, intermediate (computer) and near (reading) vision.

Advantages

Premium cataract surgery can:

  • Significantly improve the quality of your vision
  • Reduce your refractive error
  • Reduce your dependency on spectacles or contact lenses

The risks involved in premium cataract surgery are low compared to other types of surgery and the recovery time is quick.

Disadvantages

  • Like all surgical procedures, premium cataract surgery carries with it the risk of complications. I will discuss these with you in detail at your appointment and ease any concerns you have.

Premium cataract surgery, like any other operation, carries with it the risk of complication. However, serious complications are uncommon – the chance of you having a worse vision as a result of premium cataract surgery is 1%. The risk of losing one’s vision completely (blindness) from surgery is rare (0.1% / 1 in 1000 procedures).

The only way to remove your cataracts is to undergo surgery.

You do have the option of standard or premium cataract surgery. This is the option concerning which lens choice you make.

The main difference between standard and premium cataract surgery is the type of lens used to replace the cloudy one in your eye.

In standard cataract surgery, most people get a monofocal lens. This lens helps you see clearly at one distance, usually far away, but you’ll still need glasses for reading or close-up work.

In premium cataract surgery, you can choose from special lenses like multifocal, trifocal, or EDoF (Extended Depth of Focus) lenses. These help you see well at more than one distance, so you may not need glasses as much. Toric lenses can also fix astigmatism. Your choice depends on your eyes and lifestyle.

  • I insert a high-frequency ultrasound probe into the eye through a tiny incision. The probe then extracts the clouded lens.
  • I then place a folded up artificial lens into the eye through the same tiny incision.
  • The lens unfolds within the eye to lie in the same position as the old cataractous lens.
  • I calculate the strength of the implant before the operation to ensure that it will suit your eye.
  • The tiny incision in the eye seals itself without the need for stitches.
  • I can also treat your astigmatism at the same time if you wish.

How successful is cataract surgery?

The operation is one of the most successful operations around, with more than 95% of people experiencing an improvement in their vision. Note that your outcome will depend on your unique eyes and on any existing eye diseases that you may have.

What can you expect after surgery?

Your eye may feel slightly gritty, but we can manage this with drops for the first few weeks. Painkillers are not usually necessary. Your eye may be slightly red, but this usually settles over one to three weeks.
