cataract surgery 3 28
Cataract surgery in Singapore can greatly improve eyesight and quality of life for patients with cloudy or hazy vision.
The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Cataract surgery is usually done as a day procedure, meaning you don’t have to stay overnight in the hospital.
You can choose between subsidised care at government hospitals or private treatment depending on your budget and preference.
Fees can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per eye, but Medisave can be used to offset a significant portion of the cost.
Recovery is usually smooth, with only mild discomfort or dryness that goes away quickly.
If you have other eye conditions, your doctor will advise if combined treatments are necessary or if special types of lenses (like multifocal or more info 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.
