Cataract Treatment
Consultant-led eye care using modern diagnostic and surgical techniques.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Cataract Treatment?
Cataract treatment is a highly effective surgical procedure that restores clear vision by removing the eye's clouded natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts develop gradually as part of the natural ageing process, causing blurred vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, faded colours, and reduced visual clarity.
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and successful procedures worldwide. It is typically completed as a day-case procedure under local anaesthetic and can significantly improve vision, independence, and quality of life.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced ophthalmic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques and premium lens technology to provide outstanding visual outcomes tailored to your individual lifestyle and vision needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What is a cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens, causing vision to become blurred, hazy, or less vibrant. Cataracts commonly develop with age but can also occur due to injury, certain medical conditions, or medications.
Is cataract surgery painful?
No. The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic, meaning the eye is numb but you remain awake. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during surgery.
How quickly will my vision improve?
Many patients notice clearer vision within a few days, although it can take several weeks for the eye to fully heal and vision to stabilise.
Will I still need glasses after surgery?
This depends on the type of intraocular lens you choose and your individual vision requirements. Some patients still require glasses for certain activities, while others experience significantly reduced dependence on them.
