Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but blurry, cloudy vision doesn’t have to be. At Horizon Eye Specialists, we offer advanced cataract surgery designed to help you see clearly, comfortably, and confidently again.
What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can cause blurred or dim vision, glare, and difficulty with daily activities such as reading or driving.
It is a common condition, especially with age, and develops gradually over time.
Common symptoms of cataract
Cloudy or blurry vision
Difficulty driving at night
Increased sensitivity to light and glare
Faded or yellowed colors
Frequent changes in glasses prescription
Our approach
Every cataract procedure is personalised based on your lifestyle and visual goals. Using precision diagnostics and gentle surgical techniques, your comfort, safety, and long-term visual clarity are prioritised.
What is Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is a quick, highly effective day procedure performed under local anesthesia. The cloudy lens inside your eye is gently removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens (intraocular lens or IOL).
The procedure typically involves:
A small incision made in the front of the eye
Ultrasound technology used to break up and remove the cloudy lens (phacoemulsification)
Insertion of your new IOL tailored to your visual needs
No stitches required — the incision usually heals naturally
Most patients return home the same day, with noticeable improvement in vision within a few days.
What to expect
Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective outpatient procedure. Modern microsurgical techniques and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) are used to restore clarity and reduce your dependence on glasses.
