cataract surgery​ 3 28

Getting cataract surgery is a common and safe procedure for people experiencing blurred vision due to cataracts—clouding of the eye’s natural lens.

During the procedure, the doctor uses microsurgery techniques to take out the cataract and implant a new lens inside your eye.

Most patients go home a few hours after the procedure and can resume normal activities in a few days.

You can choose between subsidised care at government hospitals or private treatment depending on your budget and preference.

Many Singaporeans use Medisave and insurance to make the surgery more affordable.

Recovery is usually smooth, with only mild discomfort or dryness that goes away quickly.

Discuss any concerns about your eye health, medications, or lifestyle with your eye specialist before the operation.

To sum up, timely cataract surgery can restore clear vision and make daily life much easier for those here affected by cataracts.
