cataract surgery 3 28
Undergoing cataract surgery in Singapore is a common and safe procedure for people experiencing blurred vision due to cataracts—clouding of the eye’s natural lens.
The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Most patients go home a few hours after the procedure and can resume normal activities in a few days.
In Singapore, this surgery is widely available at public hospitals like SNEC (Singapore National Eye Centre), Tan Tock Seng Hospital, NUH, and at many private eye clinics.
Many Singaporeans use Medisave and insurance to make the surgery more affordable.
Most people notice clearer website vision within a few days after surgery, though it may take a few weeks for your eyes to fully stabilise.
If you have other eye conditions, your doctor will advise if combined treatments are necessary or if special types of lenses (like multifocal or toric IOLs) are suitable for you.
To sum up, timely cataract surgery can restore clear vision and make daily life much easier for those affected by cataracts.
