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 Or, you notice you’ve withdrawn from many activities you used to enjoy like reading, gardening and cooking.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.

Premium cataract surgery restores your vision AND helps you ditch your glasses

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

Premium cataract surgery suitability criteria

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’re experiencing a poor vision, difficulty reading or seeing road signs when driving, you should consider having them removed.

How premium cataract surgery works

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 lens implants can be used to improve your distance, intermediate (computer) and near (reading) vision.

Advantages and disadvantages of premium cataract surgery

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 risks

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).

Premium cataract surgery options and alternatives

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.

Premium cataract surgery steps

  • 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.

Premium cataract surgery results

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.

Avoid missing out on the best type of cataract surgery for you by knowing all your options

Many people have cataract surgery without knowing they have a choice. Take this 2 min quiz to ensure you don’t miss out by choosing the best cataract procedure for your lifestyle

YAG laser capsulotomy helps you reclaim clear vision after cataract surgery

If you’d like to know the ins and outs of YAG laser treatment we have all the information you need below

YAG laser capsulotomy suitability criteria

You may be suitable for this treatment If you’ve had cataract or lens replacement surgery in the past and your vision has become “cloudy” and “misty” again.

To ensure you are a good candidate, we will examine you and confirm that the capsule behind your lens is becoming opacified.

How lens YAG laser capsulotomy works

We use a laser to remove the cloudy capsule behind your lens implant. This restores your sight to the levels it was after your cataract or lens replacement surgery.

Advantages and disadvantages of YAG laser capsulotomy

Advantages

  • It is a quick and painless procedure that we perform in the clinic
  • Your vision will rapidly improve after the laser
  • It is highly unlikely that capsule opacification will occur again
  • No risk of infection

Disadvantages

  • Unfortunately, the procedure may not work for everyone
  • No laser procedure is entirely risk-free

YAG laser capsulotomy risks

Any laser procedure carries an element of risk which I will discuss with you in detail at your appointment. Some include:

  • Inflammation of the eye
  • Floaters
  • Swelling or detachment of the retina
  • Reduced vision

YAG laser capsulotomy options and alternatives

Unfortunately, there is no alternative to YAG laser capsulotomy.

YAG laser capsulotomy steps

I perform laser treatment in the clinic as a day treatment. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes.

Step one: Before treatment, I administer eye drops to prepare and “numb” the eye.

Step two: I ask you to look at a light whilst I perform the laser. You’ll hear a series of “clicks.”

Step three: I may give you anti-inflammatory eye drops to use.

YAG laser capsulotomy results

YAG laser capsulotomy is a very successful and effective way to improve your vision.

If you have no other eye issues, YAG laser will restore your vision to the way it was after your cataract or lens replacement surgery.
