Cataract is a condition where the eyeโ€™s natural lens becomes cloudy and causes symptoms such as blurred and double vision, colour changes, and glare.

As cataract often develops with age, it helps to be aware of its impact on vision and the importance of timely evaluation and treatment.

If you are over 40 and have begun experiencing cataract symptoms, reach out to have your eyes examined by an experienced cataract surgeon. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

When it comes to treating cataract, cataract surgery remains the most effective way to remove the cloudy lens and restore clear vision.

Conventionally, the procedure is performed manually where an incision is made on the cornea with a blade and the cataract is broken down using ultrasound waves from a pen-shaped probe.

With the advent of new laser technology, a bladeless alternative that offers greater precision and lower risks is available. Using femtosecond laser technology with an integrated imaging system, corneal incision and cataract fragmentation can be performed with increased precision and predictability, lowering the risks of surgical error.

A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy and is commonly associated with ageing.

As the clouding worsens over time, less light will be able to enter the retina, causing vision to gradually become obstructed.

Seeing double vision, changes in colour perception and glares are also other common symptoms experienced with cataract.

As cataracts will not improve on their own and can eventually lead to blindness if left untreated, itโ€™s prudent to remove the cataract as soon as possible to enjoy clear vision.

If you find yourself experiencing the symptoms above, seek prompt assessment from a cataract surgeon. ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ

Cataract surgery is a well-established and safe procedure that restores clear vision effectively by replacing the cloudy eye lens with a clear intraocular lens.

To ensure a smooth healing process, understanding what to expect after cataract surgery and following proper aftercare can help you recover comfortably and with confidence.

After the procedure, it is common to experience blurry vision along with itching and mild discomfort as your eye heals and adjusts to the new lens. With the new clear lens implant, your vision should improve within a few days, with your colour vision returning to normal as well.

During this time, remember to adhere to your surgeon's advice for a smooth recovery, which may include:

โ€ข Avoid rubbing or pushing on your eye
โ€ข Wearing an eye shield
โ€ข Using the prescribed eyedrops and medication

Complete healing should occur 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery. For more information on post-cataract surgery care, visit https://www.singaporecataract.sg/pre-post-op/ or call ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ.

In Singapore, about 90% of those aged above 70 are affected by cataract, a condition where the eyeโ€™s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing progressive vision loss.

As the cataract is not visible to the naked eye, many people do not realise they have the condition till symptoms like blurred vision manifest.

Thankfully, an experienced ophthalmologist will be able to conduct a detailed examination and employ special tests to check for cataract and determine the most suitable course of treatment.

If you are considering cataract surgery, knowing what to expect can give you greater peace of mind. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision with confidence.

As one of the most common eye surgeries worldwide, cataract surgery works by removing the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replacing it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens implant.

Cataract affects approximately 90% of those aged 70 and above in Singapore, making it one of the most common age-related eye conditions. Left untreated, it can progressively impair vision and affect daily life.

As we age, the fibres and proteins in the natural lens of the eye break down and clump together, forming a cloudy area that blocks light from reaching the retina. This results in blurred vision that worsens gradually over time.

As cataracts are not visible to the naked eye and the vision loss is often subtle at first, many may not realise they have the condition until it becomes more advanced. Other symptoms such as glare, colour changes and double vision may also intensify with time.

If you suspect you may have a cataract, donโ€™t wait. Book an assessment with a cataract surgeon today at ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ.

When it comes to cataract treatment, surgery remains the most effective method to remove a cloudy lens and restore clear vision.

The clouding of the eyeโ€™s natural lens โ€“ known as a cataract โ€“ prevents light from reaching the retina, leading to vision problems. But how can you tell if you might have one?

A common early symptom is blurred vision. Just as fingerprints on a camera lens make photos unclear, a cloudy eye lens would make the world appear hazy.

You may also notice double vision, glare, or changes in colour perception โ€“ symptoms that can interfere with everyday activities and worsen when left untreated.

If these symptoms are starting to affect your daily life, itโ€™s best to seek timely evaluation and treatment with an experienced cataract surgeon. Book a consultation at ๐Ÿ“ž6737 8366 to discuss your options today.

While cataract usually occurs with age, many have already spent years coping with vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.

As one of the most effective forms of refractive surgery, cataract surgery not only removes the cloudy natural eye lens but also allows for the implantation of advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs) designed to correct these refractive errors.

This means that in a single procedure, patients can regain clear vision from cataract removal and reduce their lifelong dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Cataract occurs when the eyeโ€™s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing progressive vision lossโ€”even blindness, if left untreated.

In Singapore, studies show that cataract affects about 9 in 10 people over the age of 70, making age the leading risk factor.

Still, cataract does not develop at the same age or pace for everyone. Various risk factors can increase your vulnerability of developing cataract, which means a higher chance of being affected by the condition at a younger age.

If you are at higher risk, or are already experiencing symptoms such as blurred or double vision, glare, or colour changes, itโ€™s important to get assessed early. Call us at ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ to arrange an evaluation.

A cataract refers to the clouding of the eye's natural lens. Located inside the eye behind the iris, a cataract cannot be seen by the naked eye.

A definitive diagnosis can only be made through a comprehensive eye examination, which not only confirms the presence of a cataract but also determines the most suitable removal option.

If you have been experiencing symptoms like double vision, glare, changes in colour perception or blurred vision, schedule a cataract assessment promptly ๐Ÿ“ž๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฒ
