Your lens options

Before you have surgery, our expert team will check your eyes and talk to you about the different lens options available. The type of lens you choose will determine how well you see without glasses after your cataract surgery. With NHS cataract surgery a monofocal lens is fitted, which improves your vision for a specific distance (like up close or far away). 

With private cataract surgery you can still have a monofocal lens replacement, but you also have the option to choose a lens which could reduce your dependency on glasses after your surgery, at an additional cost. The lens options include:

• A multifocal lens – for good distance, intermediate and up-close vision.

• An extended focus lens – which provides a continuous focus over a range of distances.

If you have an astigmatism (where the cornea at the front of the eye is shaped more like a rugby ball than a football), you can correct this with any of these specialist lenses, with what's known as a toric lens.

Ask your consultant about our lifestyle lenses during your free consultation. We also provide private eye treatment for various conditions, excluding cataracts.

Excellent experience from assessment to surgery

I was very nervous about having cataract surgery. All the staff were very kind and helpful, i felt relaxed after a few minutes of arriving to the clinic.

The surgery was painless and i'm so grateful to all the staff who made it possible for me to have great eyesight. It's changed my life, thank you so much!

What are cataracts?

Cataracts are a very common eye condition that usually develop as you age. They develop when the eye’s clear lens forms cloudy or misty patches. Although cataracts won’t usually cause any damage, they often impact your vision, making it seem like you’re looking through a frosty window.

Your private cataract surgery journey

Referral

Speak to your optometrist or contact us to book a free consultation. We’ll be in touch within 24 hours to guide you through the next steps and arrange your consultation – usually within 10 days.

Consultation

You’ll be greeted by our patient co-ordinator, who’ll introduce you to your consultant. After eye tests and measurements, we’ll explain your lens options and help you choose a lens that best suits your needs. Surgery is then scheduled – often within a few weeks, or at a time that’s most convenient for you.

Surgery

Our theatre team will ensure you’re comfortable throughout. We’ll apply drops to dilate and numb your eye, before you meet your consultant to discuss any final questions. The surgery is complete in around 15 minutes. Afterward, you’ll receive eye drops and aftercare advice, then relax until you’re ready to go home.

Aftercare

We’ll call you the next day to check in. You’ll also have access to an emergency helpline for any urgent concerns. A follow-up will take place a few weeks later, either at our clinic or with your optometrist. We’ll confirm this at your consultation.
