Lens replacement surgery suitability criteria

Lens replacement surgery is typically suitable for adults over 45 who rely on reading glasses or varifocals and want a long-term solution. It’s often ideal for those with presbyopia (age-related loss of near focus) or early cataracts.

Candidates should have healthy eyes aside from their refractive issue. It’s also an option for people who are not eligible for laser eye surgery.

A full eye assessment, including measurements of your prescription, eye health, and lifestyle needs, is the best way to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Lens replacement surgery works by removing your eye’s natural lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial one that corrects your vision.

This artificial lens (called an intraocular lens, or IOL) is selected to match your unique prescription and vision goals, often restoring distance and near focus without the need for glasses.

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and usually takes around 15–20 minutes per eye. It is painless, with no stitches required.

Most patients return home the same day and notice improved vision within a few days of treatment.

Lens replacement surgery offers long-lasting, stable results and often removes the need for reading glasses, varifocals, or even future cataract surgery.

It’s a reliable option for those over 45 with age-related vision changes. However, it is still surgery and comes with some risks and a short recovery period.

It’s also more invasive than laser eye surgery.

Some patients may notice glare or halos at night, depending on the lens chosen.

A thorough consultation will help determine if the advantages outweigh the risks for your specific lifestyle and visual needs.

As with any surgery, lens replacement carries some risks.

These include infection, inflammation, lens dislocation, or retinal detachment (rare). Some patients may experience glare or halos, especially at night. There’s also a chance that you may still need glasses for very fine tasks.

However, serious complications are uncommon, and the procedure is considered very safe when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Choosing a reputable clinic and undergoing a full pre-surgery assessment can significantly reduce your risks.

Miss Khanam will explain your individual risk profile and answer all your questions before proceeding.

If lens replacement isn’t the right fit for you, there are other effective treatments. This may include PresbyLASIK, a type of laser eye surgery designed to correct both distance and near vision. In some cases, continuing with glasses or contact lenses may still be appropriate. Your consultant will guide you through the best solution based on your prescription, eye health, and personal goals.

Lens replacement surgery often delivers long-term freedom from reading glasses and varifocals.

Many patients achieve clear vision at multiple distances, near, far, and intermediate, without needing eyewear.

Results are stable for life, and because the natural lens is removed, you won’t develop cataracts later on.

Vision clarity typically improves within a few days after surgery, and most people feel more confident and independent in daily life.

You can expect sharper vision for reading, driving, working, and enjoying hobbies.

Regular follow-ups ensure your eyes continue to heal well and perform at their best.
