A cataract is a common eye condition characterised by the clouding of the eye's natural lens, which is typically clear. This clouding occurs gradually and can lead to blurry or hazy vision, difficulty seeing in low light, glare sensitivity and faded colours.

Cataracts often develop with age but can also result from factors such as genetics, trauma, or certain medical conditions like diabetes. While they are a natural part of aging, cataracts can significantly impact vision quality and daily activities. However, they are treatable with cataract surgery, during which the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens to restore clear vision.

Generally, you can return to work within a few days to a week after cataract surgery, depending on your job's physical demands and your individual healing process.

Most people experience improved vision shortly after the procedure, although it may continue to improve over several days or weeks. We will provide specific guidance tailored to your situation, ensuring a safe and smooth transition back to your work routine.

Suitability for laser eye surgery depends on various factors including the patient's age, refractive error, overall eye health and lifestyle. Generally, suitable candidates are adults over 18 years old with stable vision for at least a year, who have healthy corneas with sufficient thickness and no significant eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts.

Ideal candidates have refractive errors within the treatable range for the chosen procedure, including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Additionally, candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery and be committed to following pre and post-operative care instructions provided by us. A comprehensive evaluation is essential to determine candidacy and ensure the best possible outcomes.

Laser eye surgery, such as SMILE or Presbyond, typically takes only about 15 to 30 minutes per eye. The actual laser treatment itself usually lasts just a few minutes per eye, with the entire procedure often completed within an hour. However, this timeframe may vary depending on factors such as the individual's specific eye condition and our technique.

Despite its brevity, laser eye surgery is a highly effective and minimally invasive procedure that can provide long-lasting vision correction for those who are suitable candidates.

The timeline for noticing results after laser eye surgery varies among individuals, but many patients experience significant improvement in vision within a day or two after the procedure. Some may notice clearer vision almost immediately, while others may experience gradual improvement over the following days or weeks as their eyes heal and adjust.

It's not uncommon to experience temporary side effects such as glare, halos, or dry eyes during the initial recovery period, but these usually subside as the eyes heal. Overall, laser eye surgery often provides rapid and noticeable results, with many patients enjoying clear vision and reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses soon after the procedure.
