Restore Clarity
with Cataract Surgery
Cataracts can cloud your vision, but the good news is they can be treated safely and effectively. Our experienced surgeons offer cataract surgery using the latest lens technology and techniques.
What is cataract surgery?
Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure to treat cloudy vision caused by cataracts. A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, making it harder to see clearly. During surgery, this lens is gently removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens to restore vision. At Sandhurst we strive to use the best Intra ocular lenses, tailored to the patients needs for functional vision.
Thanks to modern surgical techniques and intraocular lenses (IOLs), most patients experience significant improvement in vision—and in many cases, reduced reliance on glasses.
When to consider cataract surgery?
You may be a candidate for cataract surgery if you’re experiencing:
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- Difficulty reading or driving, especially at night
- Increased sensitivity to light or glare
- Colours appearing dull or faded
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
If your vision is interfering with your daily life, it may be time to speak to one of our specialists.
