Don’t Let Cataracts Dim Your World: We Can Help
Cataracts, the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, can gradually diminish your vision. In the early stages, you might notice slight haziness or need brighter light. As cataracts progress, vision blurs, colors fade, and glare from headlights or sunlight can be blinding.
At Waverley Eye Centre, our experienced eye doctors understand the impact cataracts can have on your life. We provide comprehensive cataract consultations to guide you through the diagnosis process and treatment options.

Request AppointmentUnderstanding Vision Loss: A Thorough Assessment
During your consultation, we’ll conduct a detailed eye examination to:
- Accurately diagnose the cataract: We’ll assess the severity of the clouding and its impact on your vision.
- Rule out other potential causes of vision loss: Common conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and dry eye can sometimes mimic or complicate cataract symptoms. We’ll carefully evaluate your overall eye health to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
- Discuss your treatment options: We’ll explain your choices, including cataract surgery.
Managing Cataracts: From Early to Late Stages
Cataract management options will change as your cataracts grow. Your options often include:
- Observation: We may recommend monitoring your vision with regular checkups for early-stage cataracts. Cataracts usually develop slowly, with minimal symptoms at first and gradual vision loss over time.
- Lifestyle adjustments: Adjusting lighting, using magnifying glasses, and updating eyewear can sometimes improve vision and delay the need for surgery.
- Cataract surgery: When vision is significantly impacted, cataract surgery is a safe, effective option for restoring clear sight.
Our Commitment to Your Care
At Waverley Eye Centre, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the condition. We’re passionate about providing personalized attention and taking the time to understand your unique vision needs and concerns.
Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and information you need to make informed decisions about your eye health. We’ll explain your diagnosis clearly, discuss all available treatment options, and answer any questions you may have.
Preparing for Cataract Surgery: Informed Decisions
If cataract surgery is recommended, we’ll guide you through the preparation process:
Explaining the surgical procedure: We’ll outline the steps involved in cataract surgery, including removing the cloudy lens and implanting an artificial lens (intraocular lens or IOL).
Discussing IOL options: We’ll help you choose the IOL that suits your lifestyle and visual needs.
Managing pre-existing conditions: If you have an eye condition, like dry eye, or other underlying health issues, we’ll help you manage them effectively to achieve positive surgical outcomes.
Lens Replacement Options
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses that replace the cloudy natural lens removed during cataract surgery. Choosing the right IOL can significantly improve the quality of your vision and reduce your dependence on corrective eyewear after surgery.
Your eye doctor can discuss your IOL options to support your needs and lifestyle. Here are a few main types.
Monofocal IOLs
Monofocal, or standard, intraocular lenses are the most commonly used type of IOL. They provide clear vision at a single fixed distance, usually for far vision. However, you will likely need glasses for reading and other close-up tasks.
Multifocal IOLs
Multifocal IOLs are designed with multiple focal points to allow clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. These lenses can significantly reduce your dependence on glasses for everyday tasks.
Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF) IOLs
EDOF IOLs provide a wider range of vision by extending the focus, offering improved clarity for intermediate and far distances. They help reduce reliance on glasses for many daily activities.
Toric IOLs
Toric IOLs are specifically designed to correct astigmatism, a condition that causes blurred or distorted vision at all distances. These lenses can enhance the clarity and sharpness of your vision.
