What is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery is a procedure that removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear artificial lens to restore vision. Technically it is the same as Lens Replacement surgery or Refractive Lens exchange (RLE).
Is cataract surgery safe?
Yes, cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures worldwide, with a very high success rate.
How long does cataract surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye and is performed under local anaesthesia using eye drops.
How soon can you see after cataract surgery?
Most patients notice improved vision immediately after surgery, with further improvement over the following days.
Can both eyes be operated on the same day?
Yes, many patients choose to have both eyes treated on the same day for faster recovery and fewer clinic visits.
What country has the best cataract surgery?
The Czech Republic, especially Prague, is considered one of the best destinations for cataract surgery in Europe due to experienced surgeons, modern clinics, and significantly lower costs compared to the UK.
What Is Cataract Surgery?
Cataracts occur when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dim vision. Cataract surgery removes this cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens.
This procedure not only restores vision but can also reduce dependence on glasses when premium lenses are used.
Who Is Cataract Surgery Suitable For?
Cataract surgery is suitable for patients who:
- experience blurred or cloudy vision
- have difficulty reading or driving
- are sensitive to light or glare
- have been diagnosed with cataracts
Many patients over 50 develop cataracts as part of natural ageing.
What Types of Lenses Are Available?
- Monofocal lenses – clear vision at one distance
- Toric lenses – correct astigmatism
- Trifocal lenses – clear vision at all distances
- EDOF lenses (Alcon Vivity) – extended range of vision
Premium lenses can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses after cataract surgery.
