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.
Surgeons use advanced equipment to gently remove the cataract and insert an artificial lens, restoring sharp vision.
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.
Many Singaporeans use Medisave and insurance to make the surgery more affordable.
Most people notice clearer vision within a few days after surgery, though it may take a few weeks for your eyes to fully stabilise.
Your doctor will more info recommend the best lens and procedure based on your individual needs.
Overall, if you notice blurry vision or trouble with daily activities, consult an eye specialist to find out if cataract surgery is right for you.
