Cataracts occur when your eyes’ lenses become cloudy, usually from natural ageing. Cataract surgery is therefore extremely common and one of the most common types of surgery in the world. Eye Clinic Dublin performs cataract surgery to remove the cloudy lens, replacing it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL) implant.

LASIK and PRK laser eye surgery can effectively treat myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Laser eye surgery can lessen or remove your dependence on glasses or contact lenses and help you achieve 20/20 vision or better. Results can last for many years or the rest of your life. Modern techniques involve advanced bladeless technology.

If your cornea is damaged, a cornea eye specialist may recommend corneal grafting to restore your vision and eye health. The cornea is essentially the “window” of your eye, the clear membrane used to focus light entering the eye. If it is scarred, swollen, or misshapen, your vision can become blurry or cause pain in your eye.

The only proven method of keratoconus treatment in Dublin is cross-linking eye surgery. It’s highly effective and generally safe, and it can slow or stop the progression of keratoconus and help you see clearly. Patients generally see a high rate of keratoconus vision improvement, with a stabilisation of around 90-95%.

If you are an unsuitable patient for laser eye surgery, then implantable Collamer lens surgery may be a preferable alternative. An implantable Collamer lens, often called simply an ICL or ICL lens, is implanted in your eyes and can effectively treat many common refractive errors such as near-sightedness and astigmatism.
