Cataract Surgery
A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye and is derived from the Latin cataracta, which means a “waterfall”. Age-related cataract is the main cause of blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. Studies in the UK suggest that up to 30% of people over the age of 65yrs will have a cataract in at least one eye which is causing blurred vision.
There have been huge advances in cataract surgery over the last 10-15yrs and in experienced skilled hands modern small-incision phacoemulsification produces excellent results with a quick recovery. Mr Michael Wearne, now based at The Doctor Clinic in Lewes, offers an expert ophthalmological assessment and a “bespoke” cataract operation for those patients who proceed to surgery. A range of anaesthetic and lens implant options are discussed so that each individual has cataract surgery tailored to their needs.
