Premium Cataract Surgery

Premium cataract surgery offers advanced options beyond standard monofocal lenses. These upgrades are designed to enhance visual outcomes, reduce your dependence on glasses, and personalise your treatment.

While standard cataract surgery is effective in restoring vision, it does not correct conditions like astigmatism or presbyopia. Premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) provide more customised correction during your cataract operation.

What Are Premium IOLs?

Premium IOLs are advanced lens implants that replace your eye’s cloudy natural lens during cataract surgery. Unlike standard lenses, which typically focus for distance only, premium IOLs can correct for astigmatism or offer enhanced range of focus depending on your eye condition and lifestyle needs.

Types of premium lenses may include:

• Toric lenses – correct astigmatism for sharper distance vision
• Enhanced monofocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), or multifocal lenses – offer improved intermediate and distance vision in select patients

These options are discussed in detail during your consultation to determine the most appropriate lens based on your eye health and visual goals.

Additional Cost and Insurance

Please note:

• Premium lenses are not covered by most private medical insurance policies
• They typically involve an additional lens cost, which will be quoted before surgery
• Mr. Wagh will provide transparent pricing and advice before any decision is made

👨‍⚕️ Is Premium Cataract Surgery Right for Me?

Suitability depends on:

• The amount and type of astigmatism you have
• Your desire to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses
• Your daily activities (e.g. driving, reading, screen work)
• The overall health of your eye

Mr. Wagh will guide you through lens selection, with honest, evidence-based advice on what to expect.
