What are the Cataract Surgery risks?

Because cataract surgery is an operation on your eyes, there will be some risks to the eyes and the vision, which we will discuss at your first appointment.

Statistically speaking, approximately one in a hundred operations result in someone’s vision being worse than it currently is. More serious risks that you need to know about include severe infection or a bleed. There is a very small chance that you could lose vision from the surgery. That risk runs at one in a thousand, so it is very rare.

While it’s important to be aware of cataract surgery risks, it’s also good to remind yourself of the many benefits. The vast majority of patients live freer, richer and fuller lives after cataract surgery.

Booking an appointment online couldn’t be easier. You can choose from a range of times, dates and locations whereby you and I can meet. Here, I can get a much better understanding of your needs, your wants, your desires. Then, together, we can agree on a way forwards to maximise the potential that your eyes can give you. Stop waiting and start living with better vision!

What our patients say…

“My vision has improved tremendously, and it’s like having HDTV installed! Once again, many thanks.”

Mr PL

“To Mr Nguyen, Thank you so very much, the berries are very red, as are the traffic lights…and I can see my cat’s whiskers!”

Mrs GE

“I never thought I would describe eye surgery as a pleasant experience, but it was; you are a gifted person. I am sure you have heard this many times before, but the contrast before and after such a short surgery is truly remarkable.”

Mr MH

“I never imagined the difference it would make, black and grey cows now look black and white! Such an amazing difference. I consider, we, as human beings are very privileged to be able to have this treatment.”

Mrs LB

“I cannot thank you enough for the care and attention given to me during my recent cataract removals. As someone of a somewhat nervous disposition, you made the whole experience less stressful than otherwise it might have been.”

Mrs MF

“It is now just over a year since you carried out the procedure on my second eye. I still awake in wonder each morning when I wake and can see clearly.”

Mr BC

“Thank you for the new lens you fitted to my right eye. I cannot believe how much better my vision is – massive improvement for driving.”

Mr BF

“I was facing the possibility of being unable to drive because of poor vision, but now, after 70 plus years of wearing spectacles, I no longer need them! Amazing! Added to that, my snooker has improved enormously!”

Mr DV

“The miraculous improvement from my extreme short-sightedness coupled with cataracts in both eyes is a massive life change, and I am enormously grateful to you all. I wish to thank you most sincerely for all the expertise, care and kindness shown to me.”

Mrs CJ

“From my initial consultation through to walking out the door following surgery, I found the whole process to be fantastic and could not have wished for a nicer experience.”

Mr SC

“I am very pleased to say my eyesight is so much better. I am so delighted that I can see very clearly again, no blurred vision at all. It’s brilliant.”

Mrs ML

“I am writing to thank you and your wonderful team in enabling me to see a world that I almost forgot existed. The vibrancy of colour and brightness are a joy to behold.”

Mrs CS
