Private cataract surgery is suitable for adults who have been diagnosed with cataracts or who are experiencing symptoms such as blurred or cloudy vision.

You may also be a candidate if you’ve been told you’re developing cataracts and would prefer not to wait for NHS treatment.

A full assessment will determine your eye health, prescription, and goals.

If you also need reading glasses or varifocals, you may be suitable for advanced lens implants that correct both distance and near vision.

Your consultant will advise on the best option for your lifestyle and medical history.

Cataract surgery involves removing your eye’s cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens.

The procedure is quick and painless, typically taking 10–20 minutes per eye and performed under local anaesthetic.

We use advanced technology to precisely calculate your lens strength and achieve the best visual outcome.

Depending on your chosen lens, you may reduce or eliminate the need for glasses.

After a short recovery, you’ll notice a dramatic improvement in vision-colours appear brighter, and your sight becomes clearer and sharper.

Private cataract surgery offers faster access to care, a choice of advanced lens options, and more time with your surgeon.

It often eliminates the need for glasses and improves quality of life dramatically.

The main disadvantage is cost, as it isn’t covered by the NHS.

Some patients may still need glasses for certain tasks, depending on the lens they choose.

Side effects like halos or glare are possible but usually temporary.

Overall, private cataract surgery offers a safe, high-quality solution tailored to your personal vision needs.

Cataract surgery is very safe, but like any procedure, it carries some risks. These may include infection, bleeding, lens dislocation, or swelling in the retina. Some patients experience temporary side effects such as light sensitivity, glare, or dry eyes.

Rare complications can lead to reduced vision, but this is uncommon with modern techniques.

Choosing a skilled, experienced surgeon, like Tina Khanam, significantly reduces your risk. We carry out detailed assessments to ensure you’re a good candidate and guide you through every step with safety and clarity.

During your consultation, you’ll learn about the range of intraocular lens (IOL) options, from standard monofocal lenses to multifocal lenses for reading and distance, or toric lenses for astigmatism.

In some cases, PresbyLASIK or lens exchange without cataracts may be more suitable.

Miss Khanam will help you choose the safest, most effective path based on your lifestyle and long-term vision goals.

First, you’ll attend a comprehensive consultation with diagnostic scans and a conversation about your goals.

On surgery day, you’ll receive local anaesthetic eye drops, and the cloudy lens will be gently removed and replaced with your chosen IOL.

The procedure usually takes less than 20 minutes, and you can go home shortly after.

Recovery is quick, you may notice improved vision within a day or two.

Follow-up care ensures your healing is on track and your vision continues to improve.

Most patients are back to daily activities within a week.

The results of private cataract surgery are often life-changing. You can expect sharper vision, brighter colours, and a dramatic reduction in your need for glasses—especially if you’ve chosen a premium lens.

Reading, driving, and daily tasks feel easier and more natural.

Most patients report high satisfaction and wonder why they waited so long.

With expert care and advanced lens options, you’ll enjoy long-term visual freedom and the confidence that comes from seeing the world clearly again.

Are cataracts slowing you down?

If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to live this way.

You’re noticing cloudy, hazy vision

Reading menus, watching TV, or recognising faces just isn’t as easy anymore. Cataract surgery can restore clarity and reduce your need for glasses.

You’ve been diagnosed with cataracts

A diagnosis can feel unsettling. But with today’s modern treatment options, cataracts are one of the most successfully treated eye conditions.

You find glasses frustrating and inconvenient

Switching between glasses all day is annoying and ageing. With the right lens, you could enjoy crisp vision without needing readers or bifocals.
