With cataracts affecting more than 80% of Singaporeans aged 60 and above, our cataract clinic is here to shed light on this common condition and its treatments.

12/01/2026

In Singapore, about 90% of those aged above 70 are affected by cataract, a condition where the eye’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.

At 𝗗𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 & 𝗣𝗮𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁, we are also one of the first eye specialist clinics in the world to offer the Zeiss CIRRUS PathFinder, an AI-guided eye imaging tool that captures detailed images of the retina, allowing for enhanced precision and better customised planning of cataract surgery for optimal results.

To schedule a cataract assessment, call us at 𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲.

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, don’t wait. Book an assessment with a cataract surgeon today at 📞𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲.

The clouding of the eye’s natural lens – known as a cataract – 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 – symptoms that can interfere with everyday activities and worsen when left untreated.

If these symptoms are starting to affect your daily life, it’s best to seek timely evaluation and treatment with an experienced cataract surgeon. Book a consultation at 📞6737 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 surgeon, 𝗗𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗶 uses only intraocular lens with an aspheric design to correct spherical aberrations and improve visual outcomes. Reach us at 📞𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲 to find out more.

Cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, causing progressive vision loss—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, it’s important to get assessed early. Call us at 📞𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲 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 📞𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲

It is common to experience mild itching or discomfort for a few days after cataract surgery.

During this time, avoid rubbing or pressing on your eyes. It is also recommended that you wear an eye patch or protective shield and apply prescribed eye drops to support healing and prevent infection.

Most patients notice clearer vision within a few days, but full recovery generally takes 4 to 6 weeks. Regular follow-up appointments are important to monitor your progress and support a smooth recovery.

During your cataract surgery, your cloudy natural eye lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens implant (IOL) to restore clear vision.

IOLs are designed with different focusing powers to address different vision needs and lifestyle factors.

Depending on the IOL chosen, it can also correct vision at a single distance or multiple distances.

𝗗𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗶 offers IOLs with an aspheric design that allows for improved visual outcomes. Reach out for a consultation on the type of lens that best suits your needs 📞𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲.

Cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens and is commonly associated with ageing.

However, children can also be affected by this condition. They may have been born with it, or the cataract could have developed during childhood due to factors such as:

• High myopia
• Past eye trauma
• Prolonged use of medications like steroids

If your child is at increased risk of developing cataract, or has been experiencing symptoms like blurred and double vision, glare or colour changes, reach out for prompt assessment with paediatric ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon 𝗗𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗶 at 📞𝟲𝟳𝟑𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲.

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide—safely and effectively restoring clear vision by removing the cloudy eye lens.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable experience throughout the surgery, you will be given a mild sedative to help you feel at ease. Eye drops will be applied to dilate the pupil and local anaesthesia administered to numb the eye area.

After the surgery, it’s normal to experience some eye irritation or blurry vision in the first few days. Symptoms will gradually improve over the next few days, and follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your recovery. Full healing typically occurs within eight weeks.

Knowing that you are under the care of a seasoned cataract surgeon can help soothe anxieties before your surgery. With over 20 years' experience, 𝗗𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗶 has performed 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. Schedule your assessment at 📞𝟲𝟳𝟯𝟳 𝟴𝟯𝟲𝟲 today!
