Basic cataract surgery typically involves the use of standard monofocal lenses, which restore vision at a single distance. However, this approach often leaves common issues like short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism uncorrected, meaning many patients still require bifocals or reading glasses after surgery.
At EUROEYES, we offer refractive cataract surgery, a more advanced, tailored procedure that restores clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. This modern approach significantly reduces, and in many cases eliminates, the need for glasses after treatment.
We use multifocal and toric intraocular lenses (IOLs), carefully selected and customised to suit the unique vision needs of each patient. It’s a smarter, more complete solution designed to restore independence and clarity at every distance.
At EuroEyes London, refractive cataract surgery is built around how you live. Monofocal: crisp vision at one distance (usually driving/TV); add toric for astigmatism. Trifocal: widest range: near, intermediate and distance for maximum glasses freedom (early halos may settle). EDOF/“Galaxy”: smooth distance + intermediate for drivers/screen users; light readers for fine print. Light Adjustable Lens (LAL): fine-tuned after surgery for precision. We map your cornea, discuss priorities, simulate outcomes, and help you choose the lens that fits your life.
If you have astigmatism, we offer Toric versions of our lenses (Monofocal, Trifocal, and EDOF). These lenses are specially designed to correct astigmatism, giving you sharper, clearer vision tailored to your needs.
Single-distance clarity for driving or TV; simple, high-quality optics. Toric option available if you have astigmatism too.
Full-range vision at near, intermediate and distance for everyday freedom; early halos may occur and typically settle.
Fine-tuned after surgery with controlled UV adjustments for personalised precision; lock in your preferred focus.
Extended depth for distance and intermediate, great for drivers and screens; many patients use light readers for small print.

Refractive cataract surgery at EuroEyes London not only removes the cloudy natural lens but replaces it with a premium intraocular lens (IOL) tailored to your vision. Unlike standard NHS procedures, we correct additional vision issues like astigmatism, near- or farsightedness at the same time, often eliminating the need for glasses.
We offer multifocal, trifocal, toric, and EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lenses, including ZEISS and other top-tier brands. These advanced lenses give you sharp vision at all distances and are carefully selected based on your lifestyle and prescription needs.
Not at all. Many of our patients are in their 70s or even 80s. As long as your eye health is suitable, age is not a barrier to enjoying sharper, spectacle-free vision after cataract surgery.
Recovery is usually fast. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with vision stabilising in 1–2 weeks. You’ll be closely monitored by our London team throughout your recovery for optimal outcomes.
Our refractive cataract surgery is private and not covered by the NHS, but many patients use private health insurance or choose finance plans starting from as little as £50/month to make the procedure accessible.
EuroEyes offers a surgeon-led experience, state-of-the-art diagnostics, and access to the most advanced lens technologies available in the UK. With hundreds of five-star reviews and years of experience, our London clinic provides premium, personalised cataract care.
