Six steps to clearer vision
Step 1
Get in touch
If you notice any changes in your vision, book an appointment with one of our eye specialists to be assessed for cataracts. Our friendly Patient Care Team will take your call, answer your questions about the clinic and talk you through the next steps — we're always here to help.

Step 2
A comprehensive consultation
Our expert optometrists carry out a thorough assessment, including a full set of diagnostics and tests, to plan the most personalised treatment. These measurements help determine which intra-ocular lens (IOL) will suit your eyes, needs and lifestyle best — so your vision is as good as possible after surgery. We'll discuss cataract surgery as a treatment option and answer any questions.

Step 3
Meet your surgeon
You'll meet your surgeon, who will discuss your options, plan your treatment and select the best premium lens for you. They'll explain exactly what happens before, during and after your procedure. Consent forms and paperwork are completed, and your surgery date is scheduled around your availability and any preparation needed.

Step 4
Treatment day
Our team is ready to provide the utmost comfort and care. After a final preoperative check, your surgeon talks you through every stage, so nothing will surprise you. There's no pain — though you may feel gentle pressure — as the cloudy lens is removed and a new IOL is implanted. The procedure typically takes just 15–20 minutes.
Step 5
Recovery
You'll rest briefly in our recovery area before heading home (you'll need someone to drive you). Use your prescribed eye drops exactly as directed to prevent infection and support healing, and follow your postoperative instructions. Most people are back to their normal activities after 3–4 days.
Step 6
Complete follow-up care
We'll contact you the day after your treatment, followed by a full suite of postoperative appointments to monitor healing and check your visual outcome. Any adjustments or additional care are discussed along the way — our detailed aftercare helps ensure a safe, successful recovery.
There’s nothing quite like hearing it first-hand. Watch one of our local optometrists share their experience of cataract surgery at Solasta Healthcare.
