Cataract Surgery at IOES: Restore Vision. Regain Confidence.


A Life-Changing Procedure, Guided by Expertise and Care

Cataracts don’t just blur your vision — they can dim your confidence, limit your independence, and make daily activities more difficult than they need to be. At the Institute of Eye Surgery (IOES), we believe you deserve better. Our consultant-led approach to cataract surgery restores more than just sight. It empowers you with clear, personalised information, advanced technology, and a compassionate team who believes that relationships — not just results — matter most.


What Are Cataracts?

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens — most commonly due to ageing. Over time, your vision may become blurry, colours may seem faded, and glare from lights (especially while driving at night) may become more pronounced.

Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy natural lens with a clear, artificial one, often improving both the clarity and quality of your vision.

At IOES, we use leading-edge diagnostics and surgical techniques to ensure your treatment is precise, safe, and tailored to your unique needs.

Cataract Symptoms

Why IOES?

Not all cataract surgery experiences are the same. At IOES, we take pride in doing things differently:

  • You’ll meet your surgeon before any decisions are made — because trust begins with a conversation
  • You’ll receive an honest, personalised recommendation, not a generic plan
  • You’ll be informed of all your options, including advanced lenses that reduce or eliminate the need for glasses
  • You’ll be cared for by a warm, knowledgeable team who treats you like a person, not a procedure

From your first consultation to your last follow-up, we’re here for you — with no pressure and no shortcuts.

What to Expect: Before, During & After

Before Your Procedure:

  • Comprehensive testing and scans to assess your eyes and vision
  • A thoughtful discussion of your lifestyle, goals, and daily visual needs
  • Lens education — including monofocal, toric (for astigmatism), and multifocal lens options
  • Time to ask questions and make decisions together with your surgeon

During Surgery:

  • A quick, outpatient procedure — typically 15–30 minutes per eye
  • Numbing eye drops only (no needles or general anaesthetic)
  • Your cloudy natural lens is gently removed and replaced with a clear intraocular lens

After Surgery:

  • You’ll return home the same day with written aftercare instructions
  • Most patients notice improved vision within 1–2 days
  • You’ll return for check-ins with our team to ensure you’re healing comfortably and successfully

Lens Options: Tailored for the Life You Want to Live

Cataract surgery at IOES includes a range of premium lens options. These aren’t one-size-fits-all — they’re chosen based on your eyes, your activities, and your goals:

Corrects vision at one distance (typically distance); may still require reading glasses.

Corrects astigmatism for clearer vision at distance or near.

Offers clear vision at multiple distances — often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses.

We’ll help you weigh the benefits of each, explain costs transparently, and support you in choosing the lens that aligns with your lifestyle.

You Deserve Clarity — in Your Vision and in Your Care

We know choosing cataract surgery is a big step. That’s why at IOES, we focus on relationship-based care — ensuring you feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way.

Whether your cataracts are just starting to impact your vision or already affecting your quality of life, our team is here to help — with no obligation, just clarity.
