Cataracts: A common problem with a clear solution
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss as we get older – but they’re also highly treatable.
They develop when the lens of your eye becomes cloudy over time, making it harder to see clearly.
You might notice things like:
- Blurry or hazy vision
- Difficulty reading or seeing in low light
- Sensitivity to glare, especially at night
- Colours looking faded or washed out
Many people don’t realise how much their sight has changed until it starts affecting daily life – like reading, driving, or recognising faces.
The good news is: cataracts can be removed safely and effectively with a straightforward surgical procedure. In fact, cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed – and most successful – operations in the UK.
And you don’t need to wait months on an NHS list to get started.

FAQ
What are the symptoms of a cataract?
Cataract symptoms vary depending on severity and maturity of the cataract. Initially, glasses prescriptions can change more frequently but as cataracts worsen so does the quality of vision, even with glasses. Colours can become less vibrant, increased blurring and, glare and haloes around lights at night.
How are cataracts treated?
A cataract treatment is usually performed as an outpatient procedure using topical anaesthetic.
During surgery, the cloudy, natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear lens implant called an intra-ocular lens (IOL). The whole procedure takes around 10-15 minutes and is a minimally invasive technique.
What vision can I expect after cataract surgery?
All patients should notice relief from their cataract-related symptoms. However, many people are unaware that the vision achieved after surgery depends on the type of intra-ocular lenses (IOL) implanted. It is a great opportunity to treat the cataract and simultaneously free patients from the need for glasses at various distances.
At VCC, we offer three types of lenses, standard, enhanced and premium. Further to a detailed consultation with your surgeon, including a thorough clinical examination and time to find out about an individual’s lifestyle and needs, your options will be explained, and a recommendation will be made by your consultant.
How long does it take to recover?
Most patients experience improved vision within a few days and can typically resume day-to-day activities within a week. Patients preferring enhanced and premium lenses will also experience a period of neural adaption as they get used to their new vision.
Is a cataract treatment permanent?
A cataract procedure is permanent; however, some patients can experience posterior capsular opacification (PCO). This is a condition that is experienced by around 20% of routine, uncomplicated cataract patients. The intra-ocular lens is placed in the eyes’ natural capsule or bag; this can thicken and lose transparency. Some patients describe this as the cataract growing back.
