Difficulty driving at night due to glare and blurry vision?

Struggling with night driving is a common frustration for many with cataracts. The glare and blurry vision can make driving feel unsafe, limiting your freedom and independence. Schedule a consultation to assess how cataract surgery could restore your night vision, allowing you to drive safely and confidently.

Frustration with relying on multiple pairs of glasses for daily activities

Switching between multiple pairs of glasses for reading, watching TV, and seeing clearly at different distances is inconvenient and exhausting. You deserve a simpler solution. Book an appointment to see if you’re a candidate for premium cataract surgery with multifocal lenses, which can eliminate the need for multiple glasses.

Do you have a fear of surgery?

For many, the idea of eye surgery feels intimidating. But working with an experienced, trusted surgeon can make the process smoother, safer, and give you peace of mind. Contact our clinic to meet our highly specialised surgeon, Paul Ursell who will explain the process, answer your questions, and discuss how premium cataract surgery can improve your quality of life.

“The cataract surgery on both of my eyes went very smoothly without any problems. There was no pain afterwards and I didn’t have to wear any eyepatch. I would highly recommend Professor Ursell for cataract surgery.”

“Highly professional, extremely efficient, and an excellent communicator, Paul exudes experience, knowledge, and ability. The whole process — initial consultation, operation, and post-op check-up — was wonderfully stress-free. I now have 20/20 vision, am glasses-free, and I am delighted by the results.”

“The cataract surgery has completely changed my life. Mr. Ursell put me at ease and explained all options. The procedure was quick and painless and completely successful, and I now have 20/20 vision in my good eye. One of the reasons I had the surgery was because of Mr. Ursell’s standing and experience. Cannot praise highly enough.”

D.S

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I was very short-sighted and my cataracts badly affected both reading and distance acuity. After the operation I now have very good distance vision (glasses-free) but still need glasses for reading. (This was the expected outcome as I did not want multi-focus implants). The operation was quick and painless, and I had no post-operative discomfort at all (which surprised me). The results are remarkable.

I can certainly recommend Professor Ursell. He is a personable consultant and a skilled surgeon.”

“Dr. Paul Ursell squashed many of my concerns for not having cataract surgery. He offered comfort with examples of his long/distinguished career and new technology that he applies to the surgery.

Both before and after the surgery, Dr. Ursell and staff gave me the information and attention I needed. It was a great success, and I highly recommend Dr. Ursell.”
