Am I suitable for cataract surgery?

Dr Matthew Russell discusses if you’re suitable for cataract surgery

You’re suitable for cataract surgery if we see that there’s a cataract affecting the quality of your vision, and you’re starting to notice that you’re having difficulty with your day-to-day vision because of it. That may be that you’re starting to notice blur in the distance, you’re starting to become sensitive to glare, you’re noticing that your vision when you’re driving at night is not as good as it used to be, or you may be having increasing difficulty with reading.

If you’re experiencing any of these challenges, it’s best if you come in for a free assessment so we can examine your eyes, rule out any other conditions and start you on your journey to restored sight.

With over 15 years of experience and over 20,000 procedures performed, I enjoy the privilege of helping patients of all ages reclaim clear vision or preserve it for as long as possible.

Vision correction and high-precision cataract surgery hinge on the expertise and skill set of the provider who also has access to the most precise tools for the job. Ophthalmic surgeons like me know how to make treatment safe, comfortable and positive for the patient. They know how to minimise the risk of complications and maximise successful outcomes.
