Cataracts do not return once the cloudy natural lens has been removed. In some cases, the capsule that holds the lens can become cloudy over time, which can be treated with a quick laser procedure.
Regular eye examinations are important for monitoring eye health. The recommended frequency can vary depending on age, vision needs and any existing eye conditions.
A consultation typically includes a detailed eye examination, discussion of vision goals and an assessment of suitable treatment options. The appointment usually takes around 60–90 minutes.
ICL lenses are designed to remain in the eye long-term and typically do not need to be replaced. They are made from biocompatible materials that work with the natural structures of the eye.
No. The lens is placed inside the eye behind the iris, so it cannot be seen or felt once the eye has healed. Most patients are not aware of the lens after recovery.
ICL provides long-term vision correction, but the lens can be removed or replaced if necessary. This makes it a reversible vision correction option compared with some other procedures.
Laser eye surgery is commonly used to correct refractive errors such as short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.
Laser eye procedures are designed to minimise discomfort. Numbing eye drops are usually used during treatment, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterwards.
Some patients may still need glasses for certain activities, particularly for reading as natural age-related changes in vision occur.
In many cases, both eyes can be treated during the same procedure. Your ophthalmologist will advise whether this is appropriate for your individual situation.
Many patients notice improved vision within a few days. Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but most people can return to normal daily activities within a short perio
SILK laser eye surgery is typically a quick procedure, with the laser treatment itself taking only a few minutes per eye. Your ophthalmologist will explain the full treatment process during your consultation.
Before treatment, a comprehensive eye examination is performed. This may include detailed measurements of the cornea, vision testing and evaluation of overall eye health to determine suitability.
Because SILK is a flapless procedure, it may be considered by individuals who participate in sports or physically demanding activities. Suitability should always be assessed during a consultation.
SILK laser eye surgery corrects existing refractive errors, but natural changes in vision can still occur over time, particularly as part of the ageing process.
Many patients notice improvement in their vision within a short period after treatment. However, recovery time can vary, and follow-up appointments are important to monitor healing and visual progress.
Laser vision correction is typically suitable for adults with stable vision. Lens-based procedures may be considered for older patients depending on their eye health and individual needs.
Strabismus surgery is typically performed as a day procedure and usually takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the number of eye muscles being adjusted.
Strabismus can be treated at different ages depending on the individual condition. Early assessment is recommended for children, but treatment and surgery can also be effective for adults experiencing eye misalignment
Yes, misalignment of the eyes can affect how the brain processes visual information from both eyes, which may impact depth perception. Treatment aims to help improve eye coordination and visual comfort.
