Product Information

They are produced in sterile medical facilities and many lenses are not even handled in theatre. They are injected into the eye via a sterile introducing device without requiring the lens to be handled by the surgical team. They are available in small incremental strengths to enable surgeons to leave patients as close to their perfect prescription as possible. Aiming for a prescription of 0.00 means that distance activities can be seen without glasses - this includes day to day life, driving and TV.

There are two main types of lens: monofocaland multifocal/trifocal. Both types are also available in toric (astigmatism reducing) variants. During the operation, you’ll just experience a bright light, sensations or water around the eye and you’ll hear our theatre music. You don’t see any of the “work” happening. Some patients even see kaleidoscopic colours and patterns during surgery. When the operation is complete, you’ll sit up with a clear eye shield over the eye. You may have a pad and plastic shield over your treated eye when you leave hospital, which can usually be removed the day after surgery.Cataract surgery has a high success rate in improving your eyesight and should allow you to return to your normal activities, like driving.

These state of the art implants potentially allow for complete freedom of glasses. However, in practice, most patients feel that they are less dependent on glasses but still occasionally use them for prolonged periods of close work, such as reading a good book.In my clinic, you’ll be offered a biscuit (chocolate chip is the best!) after the procedure and be given the do’s and don’ts before you head home.

Heis also regarded as an expert trainer in cataract surgery. Cataract surgery and RLE take approximately 10 minutes per eye. We usually operate on both eyes 1-2 weeks apart, but both eyes on the same day is sometimes performed if deemed the best thing for your needs and can be standard practice for some surgeons.

Before you leave hospital, you'll be given some eye drops to help your eye heal and prevent infection. Nowadays, there are many to choose from and the right one for you will depend on many factors, including your specific visual needs. Mr Dan Lindfield, a leading consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon in Guildford and Farnham, Surrey explains the pros and cons of the different types of IOLs and what to expect before and after surgery. You'll be advised further about the use of eye drops at your follow-up appointment, usually 1 to 4 weeks after your operation.

A cataract is the age-related clouding of the lens inside our eye. It tends to occur when we reach 60 years or older but itcan occur at a younger age in rarer circumstances. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a precision-made implant. Mr Dan Lindfield is a multi-award-winning consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeonin Guildford and Farnham who specialises in cataracts, glaucoma surgery, including laser therapies for glaucoma, such as SLT, trabeculectomy, and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Monofocal lenses perform very well in low sun, dim light or in the presence of other eye diseases (which may preclude the use of trifocal lenses).
