Book a cataract consultationWhat a cataract does to your view
The lens inside your eye slowly clouds with age, and the world starts to look dim, blurred or washed out.
Does this sound familiar?
Surgery is considered when a cataract gets in the way of reading, driving or work. There is rarely a rush, and you decide together with your surgeon.
What we treat
Intraocular lens implantation
The new lens stays for life. The type you choose decides how much you need glasses afterwards.
Glaucoma surgery
When drops or laser are not enough, surgery opens a new path for fluid to drain and lowers eye pressure.
Other eye conditions
Surgical care for other eye diseases, planned after a full examination. List to be confirmed.
A new lens, for life
Your new lens stays for life. Here is what each type is for.
Monofocal
Clear at one distance, usually far
Reading glasses are usually still needed
The most common choice, with the fewest night-time side effects.
Toric
Clear at one distance, and corrects astigmatism
Reading glasses are usually still needed
For eyes with astigmatism, which blurs vision at every distance.
Multifocal or extended depth of focus
A range of distances, from far to near
Many people need glasses less often
Some people notice halos around lights at night, especially at first.

Questions people ask us
Does cataract surgery hurt?
The eye is numbed with drops, and sometimes a mild sedative is given. Most people feel some pressure, not pain.
How long is recovery?
Many people see better within a few days. Full healing takes several weeks, with follow-up visits along the way.
Are both eyes done on the same day?
Usually not. Each eye is treated on a separate day, so the first can settle before the second.
Will I still need glasses?
It depends on the lens you choose. With a monofocal lens most people still need reading glasses.
Can a cataract come back?
The lens itself does not cloud again. Months or years later the capsule behind it can turn hazy; a short laser treatment clears it.
Is it covered by PhilHealth or my HMO?
Coverage depends on your plan. Our team can help you check before your procedure.
