Cataracts
Clouding of the natural lens that gradually softens vision and dulls contrast.
Inside every eye sits a small, clear lens that focuses light onto the retina. A cataract is what happens when that lens slowly loses its clarity. Most cataracts develop quietly over years — the world doesn't go dark, it just goes a little muddy, the way an old photograph fades.
What it looks like from the inside.
Colours feel less saturated. Night driving gets harder — headlights bloom, road signs lose their edge. Reading needs more light than it used to. Many patients only realise how much they'd lost once the lens is replaced and the world snaps back into focus.
How we treat it.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common — and most successful — procedures in modern medicine. We replace the clouded lens with a clear artificial one, on an outpatient basis, in under thirty minutes per eye. You walk in and walk out the same morning. Most patients are reading the next day.
