Premium Cataract Surgery
Advanced cataract surgery with premium intraocular lens options including Toric and Multifocal IOLs, designed to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses.
Overview
Cataract surgery has evolved far beyond simply removing a cloudy lens. At Menassa Vision, we offer premium cataract surgery that treats your procedure as a refractive optimisation event—an opportunity to not just restore your sight, but to enhance it.
The natural lens of your eye is replaced with an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) carefully selected to match your lifestyle and visual demands. Whether you dream of reading without glasses, playing golf with perfect distance vision, or driving at night with confidence, we have a lens solution tailored to you.
Premium lens options include Toric IOLs for correcting astigmatism, Multifocal IOLs for reducing reading glasses dependence, and Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses for a natural range of clear vision.
Ms. Menassa performs all surgeries personally using the latest phacoemulsification techniques with topical anaesthesia—meaning no injections around your eye. The procedure typically takes just 15-20 minutes, and most patients notice improved vision within hours.
What This Means for You
- Potential freedom from glasses for distance and/or near vision
- Correction of pre-existing astigmatism
- Improved night driving with reduced glare and halos
- Quick recovery with minimal discomfort
- Permanent solution—IOLs last a lifetime
Ms. Menassa's Approach
As a Cornea and Anterior Segment specialist, Ms. Menassa brings a unique perspective to cataract surgery. She understands that the cornea provides approximately 70% of your eye's focusing power—a fact often overlooked by general ophthalmologists.
Before your surgery, she conducts comprehensive ocular surface assessment and optimisation. This "clean the windscreen first" approach ensures your biometry measurements are accurate, leading to superior visual outcomes.
Her dual fellowship training in Heidelberg and Lucerne means she is equally comfortable handling routine cases and the most complex surgical challenges.
Is This Right for You?
- Adults experiencing cloudy or blurred vision from cataracts
- Those wishing to reduce dependence on glasses after surgery
- Patients with astigmatism seeking correction during cataract surgery
- Active individuals wanting to maintain their lifestyle without visual limitations
Frequently Asked Questions
During your consultation, Ms. Menassa will discuss your lifestyle, visual demands, and expectations in detail. She will recommend the lens option best suited to your individual needs, whether that's a monofocal lens for excellent distance vision, a Toric lens for astigmatism correction, or a multifocal lens for spectacle independence.
No. The eye is completely numbed using anaesthetic drops. Most patients report feeling only gentle pressure and seeing colourful lights during the procedure. There are no needles or injections around the eye.
This depends on your individual recovery and the vision in your other eye. Many patients can drive within a few days once they meet the DVLA vision standards. Ms. Menassa will advise you at your post-operative appointment.
Most private medical insurance policies cover standard cataract surgery. Premium lens upgrades (multifocal, Toric) may require a top-up payment. We recommend checking with your insurer, and our team can provide the necessary documentation.
