Cataract Surgery
Cataracts, predominantly associated with aging, are also associated with various medical conditions and environmental factors. This common eye condition occurs when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to visual symptoms that progressively affect daily activities. Individuals with cataracts may experience symptoms such as blurry vision, difficulty seeing in dim light, increased sensitivity to glare from lights, and a gradual reduction in the vibrancy of colours. While age-related cataracts are most prevalent among older adults, other factors like diabetes, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, smoking, and certain medications can accelerate their development.
At our clinic, we understand the significant impact cataracts can have on quality of life. That is why we provide personalised cataract care that focuses on individualised treatment plans tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs and lifestyle. Our consultation begins with a comprehensive eye examination to accurately diagnose the extent and progression of the cataract. We take into consideration not only the severity of the cataract but also the patient’s visual goals and preferences.
When cataract surgery is recommended, Dr Ha employs advanced eye scanning technologies and state-of-the-art equipment to achieve optimal outcomes. Modern cataract surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and involves replacing the clouded natural lens with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This lens replacement restores clarity and focus to the patient’s vision, often resulting in significantly improved visual acuity and reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Before proceeding with surgery, our team conducts thorough assessments and discussions with each patient to ensure they understand the procedure, potential risks, and expected benefits. We take pride in offering personalised care and support throughout the entire treatment process, from preoperative evaluation to postoperative recovery and follow-up visits.
Our commitment extends beyond technical proficiency to enhancing overall well-being. We prioritise patient education, providing detailed information on postoperative care and lifestyle adjustments that promote long-term eye health and vision preservation. By empowering our patients with knowledge and personalised care, we aim to optimise their visual outcomes and enhance their overall quality of life.
While cataracts may be a natural part of aging, our clinic is dedicated to delivering comprehensive, patient-centred cataract care that restores clarity and visual function. Through advanced surgical techniques and individualised treatment plans, we strive to help every patient regain clear, focused vision and enjoy life with improved visual acuity and confidence.
