Advanced laser cataract surgery, planned around your life.
Micro-incision surgery under topical anaesthesia, with a premium lens chosen against your measurements, your profession and how you want to see.
Cataract Surgery and Everyday Vision
A cataract develops when the eye’s natural lens gradually clouds, scattering light and draining the clarity, contrast and colour from everyday vision. Surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a precisely chosen intraocular lens.
Planning considers the whole eye, not the cataract alone. Your prescription, the health of the cornea and retina, and how you use your vision day to day all shape a realistic, personalised visual goal.

Your Cataract Surgery Questions, Answered
Clear answers to the questions patients ask most. Your examination determines what applies to your eyes.
Is cataract surgery painful?
No. The eye is numbed with topical anaesthetic drops, so there is no injection around the eye and the procedure is designed to be comfortable and pain-free. You stay awake, and the clinical team talks you through each stage.
Which lens is right for me?
There is no single best lens — the right choice depends on your eye measurements, any astigmatism, and how you use your vision day to day. During your consultation we present the options that suit your eyes and lifestyle, from monofocal to premium trifocal lenses, so you can decide with clarity.
How soon will I see clearly, and when can I return to routine?
Cataract surgery is a day-care procedure with no overnight stay. Most patients notice useful vision the same day and return to normal daily activities within about 24 hours, though vision continues to settle over the following weeks as the eye heals.
Can both eyes be treated together?
Where suitable, both eyes can be treated in the same sitting, and Dr Parikh will advise whether this is right for you at your consultation. You are seen for review the next day, and then as advised.

The operation itself takes minutes. The preparation around it does not.
