cataract surgery 3 28
Getting cataract surgery can greatly improve eyesight and quality of life for patients with cloudy or hazy vision.
During the procedure, the doctor uses microsurgery techniques to take out the cataract and implant a new lens inside your eye.
Cataract surgery is usually done as a day procedure, meaning you don’t have to stay overnight in the hospital.
In Singapore, this surgery is widely available at public hospitals like SNEC (Singapore National Eye Centre), Tan Tock Seng Hospital, NUH, and at many private eye clinics.
Fees can range from a few hundred to here several thousand dollars per eye, but Medisave can be used to offset a significant portion of the cost.
Recovery is usually smooth, with only mild discomfort or dryness that goes away quickly.
Your doctor will recommend the best lens and procedure based on your individual needs.
To sum up, timely cataract surgery can restore clear vision and make daily life much easier for those affected by cataracts.
