cataract surgery 3 28
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.
During the procedure, the doctor uses microsurgery techniques to take out the cataract and implant a new lens inside your eye.
It’s typically performed under local anaesthesia, so you’ll be awake but won’t feel pain during the operation.
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.
The cost of cataract surgery varies based on factors like your choice of hospital, surgeon, type of lens used, and whether you have insurance or Medisave coverage.
Eye drops and follow-up visits are needed to ensure proper healing and check for any complications.
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 here much easier for those affected by cataracts.
