Cataract surgery: what to expect
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It develops slowly and causes blurred or dim vision, glare from headlights and faded colours. There is no eye drop that reverses it; surgery is considered when the cataract interferes with reading, driving or work.
Before surgery, the eye is measured precisely to choose the power of the replacement lens, and you will discuss lens types, such as lenses that correct distance vision only or options aimed at reducing the need for reading glasses. The operation itself is usually done as day surgery under local anaesthetic. Afterwards you use eye drops for a few weeks and avoid rubbing the eye or getting dirty water in it. If you also have glaucoma, it is worth asking whether both conditions can be addressed together. Our cataract surgery guide covers costs and recovery, and our glaucoma guide explains why regular pressure checks matter.
Choosing a cataract or glaucoma specialist
- Check that the doctor is an ophthalmologist on the SMC Specialist Register.
- For subsidised cataract or glaucoma treatment, ask your polyclinic or CHAS GP for a referral to a public hospital eye centre. Private clinics can usually be booked directly.
- Ask what MediSave and insurance can cover for your procedure before committing.
- Bring your glasses, eye drop bottles and previous reports, and arrange transport if your eyes will be dilated.
