6 Reasons to not be afraid

Many patients delay cataract surgery due to fear or anxiety.
Here’s why there’s nothing to worry about:

Pain free

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia so your eye will be completely numb and you will feel no pain.

Quick and simple

The procedure is low risk and takes on average 15 minutes and is over before you know it!

Free optional sedation

If you are very anxious we offer optional sedation at no additional cost.

Fast recovery

Most patients go back to normal activities within a few days and improvement in vision is almost immediate.

Professor’s mobile number

Unlike many other providers, for reassurance we include Professor’s mobile number in our post-op brochure.

Calming atmosphere

Professor Muhtaseb makes sure there is music and a comfortable environment for you throughout the entire procedure.

The benefits of a specialist surgeon so experienced other doctors come to him

Cataract surgery is one of the safest surgical procedures, but it isn’t completely devoid of risk.

4x Lower Risk of Complications

Professor Muhtaseb boasts far lower complication rates the national average in cataract surgery, particularly for Posterior Capsule Rupture (PCR), reflecting the high standard of surgical safety. Poster Capsule Rupture (PCR) rate is the most common complication during cataract surgery and it can contribute to vision loss.
