Cataract Surgery: Choosing a Surgeon
A Cataract is a clouding over of the crystalline lens that can cause blurry vision and glare sensitivity from lights particularly at night. If a cataract is affecting you performing normal activities, then you may need to consider having Cataract Surgery.
Cataract surgery involves removal of the crystalline lens and replacing it with a silicone/acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). These IOL’s serve not only to provide clearer vision but can also provide a reduction in spectacle dependence.
Choose a Qualified, Experienced Ophthalmologist who utilises the latest technique and technology – it is best to speak to your local optometrist or GP for a referral or ask family & friends if they have had any experiences or know anyone they would recommend.

Choosing a trusted and experienced surgeon is the beginning to achieving a successful outcome.
