Cataract Surgery

at London Vision Clinic

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness around the world. This simple fact can make not only their occurrence but also their treatment, a scary thing. Fortunately, cataracts are a treatable condition, as we can attest to here at London Vision Clinic.

In fact, cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgical procedure worldwide, with an estimated 330,000 cases performed each year in England alone. But with so many providers to consider, choosing a clinic you can trust can be a difficult decision. It is important to take your time and investigate your options thoroughly so you can have peace of mind that you are receiving the best possible care.

Surgical Expertise

Unlike many clinics, our cataract patients have full access to their surgeon, starting with a pre-operative consultation to discuss their personalised treatment plan. This also gives both parties the ideal opportunity to address any concerns they have before heading into surgery. What’s more, through a series of post-operative meetings, your surgeon is able to assess each stage of your recovery to ensure everything is going as smoothly as possible.

With access to the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of world-renowned surgeons, London Vision Clinic aims to provide the best possible care and outcome for each and every patient.

We prioritise a highly personalised experience to meet the patients’ needs every step of the way.

Superior Lens Availability and State-of-the-Art Technology

Cataract Surgery involves replacing the eyes’ natural lenses with artificial ones – known as intraocular lenses. As everyone’s eyes are different, one size definitely does not fit all in this scenario. At London Vision Clinic, we are able to offer the full range of commercially available intraocular lenses to ensure the perfect fit for every patient.

Our surgeons and ophthalmologists have the expertise and experience to choose the best lens for you, based on optimising safety and comfort as well as the best refractive outcome.

Furthermore, our technology, which includes the Alcon Centurion and Verion systems, has been carefully selected to ensure that your Cataract Surgery is performed as safely and accurately as possible.

The Verion Image-Guided System is an advanced surgical planning, imaging and guidance technology designed to provide greater accuracy and efficiency during Cataract Surgery. With this technology, your surgeon is able to capture high-resolution, diagnostic reference images of your eyes and helps to determine an optimised surgical plan. This enables surgeons to implement the surgical plan using a tracking overlay and to see all incisions and alignments in real-time.

The most commonly applied procedure for the removal of cataracts is known as phacoemulsification (phaco). The Centurion Vision System represents the next generation in phaco technology by providing surgeons with superior cataract removal capabilities. The Centurion Vision System optimises every moment of the cataract surgery, automatically and continuously adapting to the changing conditions within the eye.
