A mature procedure, refined through repetition
Cataract surgery follows an established small-incision technique. Our partner hospitals perform it routinely, using precise measurements and a workflow honed through high clinical volume.
Replace the clouded lens, rebuild the way you see
Plan both eyes around your vision and lifestyle, with named packages 30-44% below UK private care before travel.*
* Based on dated UK private both-eye self-pay examples. The range varies by lens tier and excludes patient-paid travel. Final price follows the hospital plan.
Cataract surgery is well established. Modern care is built around recovery
Most patients have a short settling-in period as the eye heals, while experienced surgeons use precise measurements and established clinical workflows to support efficient recovery and low postoperative discomfort.
A short settling-in period is normal
Early dryness, glare, visual fluctuation or a mild foreign-body sensation can occur. For most patients, these effects ease as the eye heals; the provider explains medication, review timing and warning signs.
Experience and precision support a smoother recovery
Experienced surgeons pair established clinical routines with detailed measurements to plan the lens and visual target, supporting efficient recovery and low postoperative discomfort.
Choose the lens around the life you want to see
The provider balances distance, screens, reading, night driving and eye health before recommending an IOL.
IOL type
Used for
Advantages
Trade-offs
Best suited to
Multifocal IOL
More than one focal zone, designed to improve distance and near vision.
Can reduce dependence on glasses for more than one distance.
Higher chance of halos, glare or reduced contrast sensitivity than simpler lens designs.
Patients who strongly value spectacle independence after counselling.
Trifocal IOL
Premium multifocal design with distance, intermediate and near zones.
Strong all-distance goal for reading, screen work and distance tasks.
Halos, glare, contrast reduction, dry-eye sensitivity and neuroadaptation can matter.
Patients with healthy ocular anatomy who want broad range and accept trade-offs.
EDOF IOL
Extended-depth-of-focus lens intended to stretch clear vision range.
Often aims for smoother distance-to-screen vision with fewer dysphotopsia complaints than some multifocal lenses.
Near reading may still need glasses; results vary by anatomy and lens design.
Patients prioritising distance and computer/intermediate vision.
Toric multifocal / toric trifocal IOL
Multifocal or trifocal optics combined with astigmatism correction.
Combines broader spectacle-independence goals with astigmatism reduction.
Carries premium-lens visual trade-offs and toric alignment sensitivity.
Patients with regular astigmatism plus a strong all-distance vision goal.
