Cataracts are an extremely common condition, particularly as you get older. They happen when the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, causing your vision to become blurred, misty or generally dull. If you are struggling with this kind of visual loss, Miss Anna Grabowska is an experienced consultant ophthalmologist who offers advanced cataract treatment in London, helping you regain your clear vision.
The reason you hear about cataracts so often is simple: Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure undertaken in the NHS.
Why cataracts develop
The lens is positioned just behind the iris (the coloured part of your eye) and focuses light onto the retina. Over time, proteins within this lens start to clump together, turning it opaque. This process is usually a normal part of ageing.
The only effective treatment is to remove this cloudy lens entirely. Your surgeon then replaces it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This is a quick and effective procedure that restores clear vision.
Miss Grabowska’s expertise in treatment
Choosing the right surgeon is important for the best outcome. Miss Anna Grabowska is a highly skilled Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreoretinal Surgeon who specialises in the intricacies of the eye.
Her experience in cataract surgery includes advanced training at renowned institutions like Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. Because she is also a Vitreoretinal Surgeon, she possesses deep knowledge of the posterior part of the eye. This comprehensive expertise means she can manage any complexities that might arise during or after your cataract procedure. This is especially helpful if you have other retinal conditions.
Why consider private treatment?
While the NHS performs excellent cataract surgery, choosing a private practitioner like Miss Grabowska offers you several advantages that can improve your experience and outcome:
- Choice of Lens Technology: In the private sector, you often have access to a wider range of premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). These advanced lenses can correct other vision issues, such as astigmatism or presbyopia. They can potentially free you from glasses entirely.
- Reduced Waiting Times: You can typically book an initial consultation and proceed to surgery much faster privately than through the NHS, preventing unnecessary disruption to your daily life.
- Specialist Focus: By choosing a retina specialist, you ensure you receive care from an expert who works at the highest level of eye surgery daily.
