Getting cataract surgery is the most effective way to restore clear vision for those affected by cataracts, which often develop with age.

The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

It’s typically performed under local anaesthesia, so you’ll be awake but won’t feel pain during the operation.

You can choose between subsidised care at government hospitals or private treatment depending on your budget and preference.

Many Singaporeans use Medisave and insurance to make the surgery more here affordable.

Recovery is usually smooth, with only mild discomfort or dryness that goes away quickly.

Discuss any concerns about your eye health, medications, or lifestyle with your eye specialist before the operation.

In summary, cataract surgery in Singapore is safe, effective, and widely accessible—with good outcomes for most patients.
