Why should I have my cataracts removed?

When cataracts occur, they often result in a cloudy lens which can have a detrimental effect on your vision. As the condition progresses, it becomes increasingly challenging to see clearly. 

You may start experiencing a decrease in sharpness of your distance vision and eventually persistent blurred or misty vision, even with the use of glasses or contact lenses.

This is very frustrating and can make daily activities almost impossible and sometimes even dangerous.

 

When should I see a specialist about my cataracts?

If you suspect that you may have cataracts and surgery might be needed, there are several common signs to look out for. 

Blurred eyesight, difficulty with glare, experiencing ghosting or double vision, reduction in contrast and colour perception, a frequent need for prescription changes, and seeing halos around bright lights are all potential indicators of cataracts. 

It’s important to consult with an eye specialist if you are experiencing any of these symptoms to determine the most appropriate course of action.

 

Private Cataract Treatment Winchester 

Cataract surgery is a frequently performed procedure, with the majority of patients able to leave our Winchester clinic and go home on the same day as their treatment. 

When you choose our services, your journey will begin with an initial consultation. During this consultation, an experienced ophthalmic surgeon will thoroughly assess your condition and determine if a cataract operation is the right option for you.

 

Laser Eye Surgery & Cataract Removal

Laser Vision offers swift access to our team of highly skilled ophthalmic surgeons who specialise in vision enhancement procedures. 

If you’re experiencing vision issues, our experts can assess your condition and determine if an artificial lens implant is an appropriate treatment option for you.

The most effective method for reversing the effects of cataracts is by replacing the natural lens. This procedure, known as phacoemulsification, has traditionally been performed under local anaesthetic or through eye drops using ultrasound technology. It is a proven treatment that tackles cataracts successfully.

 

World-Class Ophthalmology Winchester

Femto Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery

Femtosecond laser technology, or Femto Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS), is an advanced technique used to replace the natural lens with minimal invasion. This cutting-edge technology offers a more precise and efficient method for cataract surgery.

Laser Vision relies on the advanced Ziemer Z8 Laser technology, which has been proven to offer faster and more energy-efficient treatments. Rest assured, our procedures are conducted under local anaesthesia or with the use of numbing eye drops, ensuring that you remain awake and comfortable during the surgery.

 

Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive Lens Exchange (RFE) is an excellent alternative for individuals who are not candidates for laser eye surgery to remove cataracts. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients aged 45 and above, as the natural lens tends to decline in functionality at this stage of life. RFE offers a very effective solution to correct vision problems in such cases.

Considering the natural changes that occur in the lens, it may be more appropriate to opt for a lens implant rather than laser surgery to remove your cataracts. While the longevity of laser surgery is uncertain in this case, a lens implant can offer a more reliable solution. The procedure typically involves the use of numbing eye drops, and patients usually return home within a few hours.
