Undergoing cataract surgery in Singapore is a common and safe procedure for people experiencing blurred vision due to cataracts—clouding of the eye’s natural lens.

The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

Most patients go home a few hours after the procedure and can resume normal activities in a few days.

You can choose between subsidised care at government hospitals or private treatment depending on your budget and preference.

Many Singaporeans use Medisave and insurance to make the surgery more affordable.

Most people notice clearer vision within a few days after surgery, though it may take a few website weeks for your eyes to fully stabilise.

Discuss any concerns about your eye health, medications, or lifestyle with your eye specialist before the operation.

Overall, if you notice blurry vision or trouble with daily activities, consult an eye specialist to find out if cataract surgery is right for you.
