Cataract surgery is a straightforward, short procedure and usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes per eye. Patients are normally treated under local anaesthetic eye drops. This means patients are awake but cannot feel any pain.
A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear lens inside the front part of the eye. It causes vision loss, usually making sight appear foggy or patchy and cannot be rectified with glasses or contact lenses.
Laser eye surgery has become a very popular solution for people affected by vision issues as the cost of treatment is significantly less than what a patient will need to spend on glasses and contact lenses over the long-term.
