Beyond standard cataract removal
Advances in cataract surgery now allow surgeons to address more than the cloudy lens alone. With careful planning, lens-based procedures can also take into account pre-existing refractive errors such as astigmatism, and the patient's preferences for distance, intermediate and near vision.
Intraocular lens (IOL) options
- Monofocal lenses – clear vision at one chosen distance
- Toric lenses – designed to correct astigmatism
- Multifocal / extended-depth-of-focus lenses – intended to provide a broader range of vision
Every lens type has advantages and trade-offs. Suitability depends on your eye measurements, corneal health, retina and lifestyle.
Complex cataract cases
Some patients have additional considerations – such as dense cataracts, previous eye surgery or co-existing eye conditions – that require specific planning. Dr. Kapur's surgical training and experience in instructional courses and live surgery workshops inform his approach to these cases.
Personalised planning
Dr. Kapur's emphasis is on careful evaluation and personalised treatment planning, so that the procedure and lens are chosen for your eye – not the other way round.
