Procedures

Cataract, lens and glaucoma surgery, explained.

What each treatment is for, how it is done and how you recover.

Cataract surgery

A cataract clouds the lens inside your eye. Surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear implant.

Learn when surgery may help, what happens on the day, and which risks and recovery questions to discuss with your surgeon.

Your lens choice affects how you see at different distances and how much you may need glasses.

Compare monofocal, toric and multifocal or extended depth of focus lenses, and learn why eye measurements matter.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve. Treatment lowers eye pressure to protect the sight that remains.

Learn about glaucoma types, the tests used to find it, and treatment with drops, laser or surgery.

Years after cataract surgery, the capsule behind the new lens can turn hazy. A laser clears it in minutes, with no cut into the eye.

Quick: A few minutes, sitting at the laser with the eye numbed.
Afterwards: Some glare for a few hours, and perhaps floaters for a few days.
Risks to discuss: A brief rise in eye pressure is most common; retinal detachment is uncommon.

Surgery and laser for other eye diseases. This list is being confirmed.

Laser for diabetic eye disease, surgery for retinal detachment, and vitrectomy.

Repair of drooping lids, eyelid defects and tearing problems.

Vision checks for children, and surgery for crossed or lazy eyes.

An examination and a plain talk. Bring your glasses and a list of your medicines.
