Cataract and lens surgery in Melbourne, VIC

Cataract surgery, which involves removing the eye’s clouded lens (the cataract) and replacing it with a clear artificial lens (known as an intraocular lens or IOL), is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. This technique is also used as an alternative to laser vision correction surgery. When performed in people who do not have cataracts, this procedure is called refractive lens exchange, clear lens exchange or lens replacement surgery.

Ophthalmologists at Vision Eye Institute’s Melbourne clinics are highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of cataracts. They offer both traditional (manual) cataract extraction and laser cataract surgery. Additionally, our Melbourne doctors have access to the latest lens replacement technology. Some IOLs can reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses or contact lenses, but this will depend on your specific situation.

Our eye doctors recommend cataract treatment plans that meet individual visual needs, beginning with a consultation to assess if cataract extraction is required. If cataract removal or lens replacement surgery is indicated, our Melbourne ophthalmologists and clinics also provide post-cataract surgery aftercare to support patient recovery.
