Dr Jørn Slot Jørgensen explains what a customised cataract operation involves and how modern lens technology is transforming the way cataracts are treated.
Cataracts are one of the most common eye conditions affecting people as they get older. Over time, the eye’s natural lens gradually becomes cloudy, causing vision to feel blurred, colours to appear dull, and everyday activities such as reading or driving to become more difficult. Because cataracts develop naturally with age, almost everyone will experience them at some stage of life.
In London, many patients are familiar with cataract surgery through the National Health Service, where treatment focuses on removing the cloudy lens and restoring basic clarity of vision. While this approach can be highly effective, modern advances in eye surgery now allow patients to consider more personalised treatment options.
At EuroEyes, surgeons offer what is often referred to as a customised cataract operation. This approach not only removes the cataract but also carefully selects an advanced intraocular lens tailored to the patient’s lifestyle and visual needs. With the right lens choice, many patients can achieve clear vision at far, intermediate and near distances, significantly reducing or even eliminating their reliance on glasses or daily contact lenses.
Using refined cataract extraction techniques and advanced diagnostics, EuroEyes surgeons perform both eyes on the same day for suitable patients, helping to restore balanced vision more quickly. With more than 200,000 treatments performed across the EuroEyes group, the focus remains on delivering highly precise, personalised care for every patient.
