Cataract surgery removes the eye’s cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring sharp, bright vision. Laser-assisted cataract surgery uses advanced femtosecond laser technology to perform key steps of the procedure ā including creating the lens opening (capsulotomy), fragmenting the cataract, and correcting astigmatism ā with exceptional precision and safety.
At Centre for Sight, this technology helps deliver more consistent outcomes, faster healing, and the option of premium lenses designed to reduce dependence on glasses.
The tried & tested procedure to restore clear distance vision, often used when patients are comfortable wearing glasses for near tasks.
Uses femtosecond laser for enhanced precision and offers advanced lens implants to reduce dependence on glasses for near, intermediate and distance vision.
Combines laser cataract surgery with toric IOLs designed to correct astigmatism at the same time as removing the cataract.
Please note that your consultant will recommend the most suitable treatment option (surgical method + lens choice) tailored to your eye health, vision goals and lifestyle.
| Procedure | How it works | Best for | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Cataract + Monofocal Lens | Traditional phacoemulsification (or laserāenabled) with single-focus IOL | Patients comfortable with glasses for near tasks | Proven, cost-effective | Glasses still needed for reading/near vision |
| Laser-Assisted Cataract + Premium Lens | Femtosecond laser for capsulotomy/fragmentation + premium multifocus IOL | Patients seeking reduced glasses dependence | High precision, enhanced near/intermediate vision | Higher cost; suitability for premium lens required |
| Laser-Assisted Cataract + Toric Lens | Laser surgery + toric IOL to correct astigmatism and cataract simultaneously | Patients with astigmatism | Combines cataract removal with astigmatism correction | Higher cost; premium lens suitability criteria apply |
If your vision is affected by cloudy lenses (cataracts) causing blur, glare, colour fade or poor night vision, you may be a candidate. At Centre for Sight suitability is assessed based on:
Some factors may reduce suitability or affect lens choices: prior refractive surgery, advanced retina disease, certain corneal conditions. A full consultant assessment will determine your personalised plan.
Your surgeon will speak with you about the benefits and risks involved before your procedure.
| Benefits (vary by procedure): | Risks/side effects (not exhaustive): |
|---|---|
| Significantly improved clarity of vision, often next-day improvement | Temporary mild discomfort, glare or halos as the eye adjusts |
| Reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses (especially with premium IOLs) | Rare complications such as infection or posterior capsule opacification (which may require laser treatment) |
| Premium technology for enhanced precision and safety | Premium lenses may not suit everyone and suitability will be discussed in your consultation |
Fill out our online form or call our team. Our enquiry staff will guide you through your first steps towards clearer vision.
A full assessment of your eye health (cornea, retina, lens clouding, tear film) ensures the best treatment plan.
You will meet your consultant ophthalmic surgeon to review your test results, discuss lenses, explain surgery, benefits and risks before deciding.
Once you have selected your approach and confirmed suitability, surgery is scheduled at our dedicated eye-care hospital.
Follow-ups, 24-hour helpline and structured support are included for one year, ensuring your vision outcome and recovery are closely monitored.

The surgery is usually completed in about 15-30 minutes per eye; you may go home the same day.
Many patients notice clear vision as soon as the next day, with gradual stabilisation over the following weeks.
This depends on the lens chosen. With premium multifocal/trifocal or toric lenses you may greatly reduce your reliance on glasses; with monofocal lenses you may still need reading glasses.
