What are the types of Cataract procedures available, and what outcomes can I expect?

Cataract surgery comes in two main forms: phacoemulsification, a common day procedure using ultrasound to remove the cloudy lens through a small incision, and extracapsular surgery, which requires a larger incision to replace the lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). The choice of IOL is based on your eye’s characteristics.
    • Improved vision results: The vast majority of cataract surgery patients enjoy improved clarity of vision and colour vision. This is because lens implants are selected to compensate for existing focusing problems.
    • Improved safety and health: Enhanced vision results mean that cataract surgery patients typically experience less falls or accidents.
    • Renewed confidence: Enjoy a new lease of life with your improved clarity of vision.

What is Cataract Surgery?

Professor Moore discusses your cataract surgery treatment options.

At Cathedral Eye Clinic, our highly skilled Ophthalmic Surgeons provide patients with the confidence of knowing that they receive full and comprehensive clinical care. Led by Professor Moore, specialists in refractive cataract surgery combine their expertise in pre-operative assessment and surgical skills to ensure the greatest chances of achieving an ideal surgical and refractive outcome after cataract surgery.

Years of research and exceptional audit data have led Cathedral Eye Clinic to introduce artificial intelligence into biometry examinations. This cutting-edge technology aims to enhance the ability to predict refractive outcomes with even greater accuracy, further assisting in improving surgical results.

Cathedral Eye Clinic is exceptionally fortunate to have a full team of highly specialised vitreoretinal surgeons. This team is equipped to handle any immediate cataract complications and subsequent issues that may arise months or years after surgery. As a tertiary IOL exchange referral centre in Ireland, the Clinic has been providing this essential service for many years.

The clinical team at Cathedral Eye Clinic takes great pride in offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date medical and surgical ophthalmic care. This commitment ensures that patients can confidently choose Cathedral Eye Clinic for their eye surgery, knowing they are in capable hands.
