8 Signs You May Need Cataract Surgery

8 Signs You May Need Cataract Surgery

Cataracts are one of the main causes of vision impairment for adults in the UK. With studies predicting a 50% increase in cataract operations from 2015-2035, it’s essential that you can identify the early stages of cataracts and maintain your optical health.

What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are the clouding of the clear lens in your eye, they develop over time and eventually interfere with your ability to see.

Discover the causes of cataracts and view our list of treatments.

How Do I Know if I Need Cataract Surgery?

Fortunately, it’s easy to identify the symptoms of cataracts, leaving you with plenty of time to consult with a medical expert for the appropriate treatment.

Cataracts symptoms that may mean you require surgery:

  1. Clouded, blurred or dim vision – it may feel like looking through a frosted window
  2. An increasing inability to see at night, read, drive, or read facial expressions
  3. Sensitivity to lights and glare
  4. An increasing need for brighter lights for reading and other activities
  5. Seeing “halos” around lights
  6. Frequent changes in your glasses or contact lens prescriptions
  7. Fading or yellow colours
  8. Double vision in a single eye

What Does Cataract Surgery Involve?

Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with an artificial one. Artificial lenses are multifocal and can achieve long and short-sighted vision, without the need for glasses.

Our laser technology enables surgery without blades, allowing for unparalleled precision, comfort, and safety. This procedure takes around 20-minutes, causing little to no pain and a noticeable improvement to your eyesight within the first few days of surgery.

Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

I had lens replacement surgery. After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens. It really is amazing. The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin. Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way. If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
