Cataract surgery - Private cataract operations

If you would like to learn about cataracts surgery and the cost of cataracts surgery, the information of this page will be of help to you.

 

A cataract operation involves the removal of a cataract, a cloudy lens in the eye, and the insertion of  a lens implant into the eye.  In the majority of cases no stitches are required.  Cataracts treatment is normally carried out with a local anaesthetic (the patient remains awake).  Most patients have  a cataract operation as a day case, although some opt to stay in hospital over night. Cataract surgery does not involve laser treatment.
