Cataracts are when the lens of your eye, a small transparent disc, develops cloudy patches. Our lenses are usually like clear glass, allowing us to see through them. As we get older they start to become frosted, like bathroom glass, and begin to limit our vision. Cataract surgery involves replacing the cloudy lens inside your eye with an artificial one. It's the most common operation performed in the UK, with a high success rate in improving your eyesight.
Miss Lane achieves excellent outcomes relative to national benchmarks and has an enviable reputation for succeeding in the more complicated cases
Refractive lens surgery can provide clear vision without glasses or contacts, offering a long-lasting solution to common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It can also address presbyopia, the age-related decline in near vision. With fast recovery times and low risk of complications when performed by skilled surgeons, refractive lens surgery potentially improves quality of life by reducing dependence on corrective eyewear and enhancing daily activities such as sports, driving, and reading.
The cornea is the clear layer in front of the iris. It protects the iris and lens and helps focus light on the retina. Cornea conditions can cause blurred vision, irritation, and in extreme cases vision loss.
