We take time to explain your options so you can make an informed decision.

Which cataract lens is right for me?

During cataract surgery, your cloudy lens is replaced with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). After precise scans, your surgeon recommends the safest option for your eyes and lifestyle.

What it is

Provides clear vision at a single, pre-selected distance (usually distance). Glasses are typically needed for other distances.

  • Custom lens power chosen from your eye measurements
  • Optimised for distance or near, based on your goals
  • Reliable, time-tested option

Why people choose Monofocal

  • Clear, crisp vision at the chosen focal point
  • Often the most cost-effective choice
  • Can pair with “monovision” if suitable (one eye for distance, one for near)

Typical results: rapid visual improvement within days.

Driving: many patients resume within a few days (your surgeon will advise).

Check Monofocal Suitability

How cataract surgery works

Your clouded lens is carefully removed and replaced with a custom IOL. Surgery typically takes ~10 minutes per eye and is performed as a day procedure under local anaesthetic with gentle sedation.

  • Comprehensive scans and measurements
  • Comfortable local anaesthetic & sedation
  • Custom IOL placement; stitches rarely required

Recovery & scheduling

  • Most daily activities resume in a few days
  • Typically one eye at a time, ~2 weeks apart
  • Clear drop regimen & follow-up guidance provided

Goal: restore clear vision with a lens tailored to your measurements and lifestyle.
