London’s Top Choice: Award-Winning Clinic for Exceptional Eye Care
Cataracts
When the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy or less clear in appearance.
CATARACT CARE AT LONDONOC
LondonOC has invested heavily in world-class consultants and innovative equipment.
Cataracts are very common; it’s estimated around 2.5 million people aged over 65 have cataracts and it’s the main cause of impaired vision worldwide.
When cloudy patches appear in your vision, it prevents the light from extending to the back of your eyes which can cause impaired vision.
A common misconception is that the cataract is like a “film” or “skin” that has grown over the eye, and this simply is not true. The fact is, if you're suffering from a cataract, then the lens itself has gone cloudy.
Causes for cataracts can vary but you may be at higher risk if you're over 60, have trauma in the eye, diabetes and sometimes genetics can be a factor.
Cataracts
Cataract surgery is a painless day-case procedure, conducted by keyhole surgery under local anaesthetic, which requires no stitches.
Cataract Symptoms
Cataracts cause blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. They develop with age and can be treated surgically.
Signs and symptoms of Cataracts:
- Clouded, blurred or dim vision
- Difficulty with vision at night
- Heightened sensitivity to light and glare
- Seeing "halos" around lights
- Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
- Fading or yellowing of colours
- Double vision in a single eye
Cataracts cause vision loss and can be treated with surgery.
Cataract Treatments
Most cataract cases develop over time, some patients may not even notice they have cataracts until it eventually disturbs their vision.
Having any surgical procedure can be a scary prospect, especially if it affects your everyday life. Our job is to put your mind at ease and support you every step of the way.

Patient testimonial from LondonOC
“I would just like to say how happy I have been with everything to do with being able to see. One never realises what one has until it is taken from you – and being able to see again has been the most wonderful joy of 2015/16.
My first consultation, to care in the reception, to the surgery itself, I have felt at all times in wonderful professional care – and an extra thanks to Mr Sharma for his gift in this field and thank heavens for him.”
