Cataract surgery is one of the most common and effective procedures performed in Singapore to restore clear vision. With advancements in medical technology, several techniques are available, each with its own benefits and suitability depending on the patient’s eye condition, lifestyle, and preferences. An ophthalmologist can help patients assess these various options and recommend the best one to suit their unique needs.

Cataracts are not reversible without surgery; however, not every cataract requires immediate surgical intervention. Many people with early-stage cataracts are able to live comfortably for years with careful management and lifestyle adjustments.

If your cataract has been diagnosed and is now interfering with your daily activities, surgery is a highly successful and safe solution. Cataract surgery is a routine procedure that removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore your vision. To ensure the best possible outcome, your preparation for the procedure plays a significant role.

Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss worldwide and are extremely common in Singapore. As this gradual clouding of the eye's lens progresses, it can significantly impact your daily life. While cataracts are difficult to prevent, they are effectively treatable. The key question for many people, however, is when the right time to consider cataract removal is.
