FAQs

Your questions, answered

The prospect of any surgery inevitably prompts lots of questions. Here are the most common — from the first visit to recovery.

One eye or both?

The reason we develop cataracts is simply because we have one too many candles on the birthday cake! Given that your right and left eyes are exactly the same age, some degree of cataract being present in both is far more often the rule than the exception. For this reason most patients elect to have the two done together. This way they heal together and there is no period of uncomfortable imbalance when one is done and the other not. Our team have the most experience with this in the NHS in the UK.

Can everyone have both eyes done?

Unfortunately no, it is not suitable for everyone. Some conditions that make one eye technically more challenging for surgery prohibit doing both the same day. Your optometrist and ophthalmologist will tell you if any of these limitations are present in your eyes, and if so would advise you to have one at a time.

If I have both eyes done, will I be able to get home okay?

We do not use any patch over the eyes which you can ‘use’ immediately, vision improving rapidly over the first 24–48 hours and then gradually fine tuning as your eyes heal over the 4–6 weeks that follow until you can get your first post-surgery check by an optometrist.

This is good enough vision to cook a meal, use a phone and see medications for most people even if you live alone, though you may want a relative to stay with you the first night at home.

Is it more risky to have two eyes done the same day?

We use different instruments, and different manufacturing batches of all consumables wherever possible, for each eye, and our surgical team all re-scrub between sides. This way the eyes are as different in terms of risk as if done on two separate days but joined into one by a Time Machine. Indeed the risk of surgical complications in the second eye is the same if they are done 5 minutes apart or 5 months apart.

How long does the operation usually last?

The procedure time itself is usually fairly short, though it will vary depending how dense the cataract is. Obviously the total journey time depends if you are having one or both eyes treated – but as a guide it usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes in total if you are having both eyes treated (you will have a short rest between).
