Benefits:
- Exceptional results: Over 90% of patients achieve excellent distance vision (20/25 or better) without glasses.
- Patient satisfaction: Cataract surgery boasts high satisfaction rates with minimal complications.
- Efficient procedure: The surgery is quick, typically under 30 minutes, and you can return home the same day.
- Rapid recovery: Many patients experience improved vision as early as the next day, with a smooth and swift recovery.
- Long-term solution: The advanced lens implanted during surgery is permanent and requires no replacement.
Considerations:
- Your suitability depends on your individual lifestyle and visual goals, and we are here to guide you in making the best choice.
- 1 in 1000 (0.001%) risk of a serious complication such as an infection within the eye (which can occur a few days after the surgery) or bleeding within the eye (which can occur at the time of surgery).
- 1 in 100 (1%) patients may require a second operation on the same eye. This may be to re-position or insert an intraocular lens. Occasionally the lens can’t be placed in the eye at the time of initial surgery and requires a second operation to do so.
- 1 in 10 (10%) patients can develop a membrane over the new intraocular lens. This is called posterior capsular opacification. This can result in vision becoming blurry again. If this does occur it can be treated by a simple outpatient laser procedure called a YAG laser capsulotomy.
In this video Danny Mitry explains the risks further
Lens choice is one of the most important decisions for your surgery. Measurements (known as biometry) are taken prior to the surgery in order to ensure that the correct lens implant is used. This usually allows the surgeon to aim for a particular focus for the eye post-operatively. During your consultation, Mr Mitry will discuss with you the options available, which may be best suited to your visual requirements.
A standard (monofocal) lens implant will correct your distance vision as clearly as possible. Some people have some astigmatism, which means the cornea is more oval in shape than average. A toric lens will be required to treat astigmatism to provide properly focused vision. Many patients with monofocal lens implants benefit from monovision. This is where one eye is set for distance vision and the other for more near vision. This improves intermediate and near vision (particularly computer use) and in some cases individuals do not need reading glasses at all, however, not all patients are well suited to this correction.
Multifocal lenses can provide a far greater range of focus. Trifocal lenses target near, intermediate and distance vision and between 80-90% of people are spectacle-free with trifocal lenses. However, not all patients can tolerate multifocal IOLs equally well. Due to the optical design of these lenses, some patients may experience side effects such as halos around light sources, particularly at night. A small proportion of people may require reading glasses for some tasks. The potential downside of trifocal lenses is a comprise in the quality of distance vision as well as optical side effects (glare and haloes), particularly at night.
Extended Depth of Focus Lenses (EDoF) lenses let you see clearly at far and intermediate distances. A proportion of patients will however need reading glasses for certain print sizes. They provide greater spectacle independence than monofocal lenses, while inducing less visual side effects compared to trifocal lenses. This balance of increased spectacle independence and less visual phenomena is particularly attractive to patients with an active lifestyle, who wish to be spectacle- free for most of their daily activities but are more sensitive to halos and glare.
Here is a short video that shows the steps of cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange
Your eye may feel a little sore after surgery and it can be a bit red. Patients often feel like they have a gritty feeling for several days after surgery. Some patients do not feel any discomfort. Your vision will improve in the initial days following surgery and will continue to stabilise in the subsequent weeks.
Do cataracts and reading glasses hold you back?
For many over 60, cataracts and the hassle of reading glasses can make everyday tasks frustrating and life less enjoyable. But it doesn’t have to be this way
You struggle with cloudy vision
Do you find it harder to see clearly, especially in low light or bright sunlight? Cataracts cause a gradual loss of clarity, leaving the world looking hazy and colours less vibrant.

You miss the simple joys of life

Then, recently he has operated on my cataract. This was done promptly and has meant that I can see properly again. It has been easy to get in touch with his secretary and schedule appointments so that they fit in with my schedule.
We take our sight for granted but when we lose it, even partially, it affects your confidence and ability to do many things. Hence I believe it's so important that you can have complete confidence in your doctors. I feel I have had the best possible care by Dr Mitry and would thoroughly recommend him.
I saw Danny on the 12th June and he arranged to do the two cataracts on the 7th and 17th July respectively (I am fortunate to have Private Health Insurance, so no waiting necessary). Both surgeries went extremely well and I am delighted with the outcome.
Danny is soft spoken and friendly and clearly knows what he is doing. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone seeking the services of an ophthalmic surgeon.
He didn't keep me waiting at all.
He is very, very confident and knowledgeable in what he does and very gentle.
He also has a fantastic bedside manner and calmed me down immediately.
I need to have my floaters removed and I trust him 100% to do the operation, which I shall be organising in two weeks when I see him again.
Thank you again for seeing me so promptly.
I also want to say how very efficient his secretary Beth was And also, how kind and understanding and patient.
His nurse who
gave me the eye test was also very, very kind patient and understanding
best wishes

I had a vitrectomy and lens replacement procedure in my right eye, with an extended depth of focus Toric lens, at the London Clinic. I’m delighted with the almost total absence of floaters and also the clear vision I now get. I need to have my left eye done now and can’t wait!!
My surgery was explained in detail, my concerns alleviated and the recovery period uneventful..
I would highly commend Mr Mitry and his team at the London eye clinic.
I felt comfortable and at ease having this procedure carried out by him.
The surgery was a great success, and it has resulted in me having a much clearer view of the world!
I had a cataract procedure on my left eye at the London Clinic under Mr Mitry's care. My initial assessment appointment was arranged within one week of my first enquiry and at the assessment, i was offered two dates for my procedure, and i selected the earliest date which was only just over two weeks later. The speed with which i could get my issue dealt with was a significant positive to me - no-one looks forward to eye surgery and it is no fun having a long wait for the date to arrive. The communication from the Clinic was excellent and i was able to have my pre-op health assessment over the telephone in advance and also speak with the anaesthetist. On the day of the procedure, everything ran very smoothly and i was out of the Clinic about 4.5 hours after arriving with clear instructions on post-op self-care and with all necessary medication. A post-op appointment with Mr Mitry was already in the calendar for a week later and all was fine and i was signed-off. A really smooth and successful experience and i would strongly recommend Mr Mitry for your eye health needs.
The entire process was straightforward from start to finish, the experience stress-free, and the outcome transformative. Thanks again.

Cataracts, a clouding of the lens in your eye, can affect your vision, causing mistiness, glare, and faded colors. This comprehensive guide from RNIB provides essential information about cataracts, including their causes, symptoms, and treatment options. It explains how cataract surgery restores vision by replacing the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one. With advice on recovery, potential complications, and tips for daily activities post-surgery, this resource ensures you’re well-informed. Click here to learn more
Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) is a common complication following cataract surgery. It occurs when the natural lens capsule, left intact to hold the artificial intraocular lens (IOL), becomes cloudy due to cell growth. This clouding can cause blurred vision, glare, and reduced contrast sensitivity, resembling the original cataract symptoms. Fortunately, PCO is treatable with a quick, painless procedure called YAG laser capsulotomy. During this treatment, a laser creates a small opening in the cloudy capsule, restoring clear vision almost immediately. Regular follow-ups after cataract surgery help detect and address PCO early, ensuring optimal visual outcomes. Click here to learn more
