Cataract Symptoms
Could Cataract Be Affecting Your Everyday Vision?
Cataract develops when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Vision changes may happen gradually, and you may adapt to them without realising how much they are affecting your daily life.
Blurred or Hazy Vision : Objects may appear less sharp, even with your glasses.
Glare & Halos – Bright lights, headlights or streetlights may become uncomfortable or appear surrounded by glare.
Difficulty Driving at Night- Glare and reduced contrast can make night-time driving more challenging.
Faded or Dull Colours – Colours may appear less bright or more yellowish.
Frequent Changes in Glasses – Your spectacle prescription may seem to change more often than before.
Difficulty Reading or Seeing Details – Activities that were previously comfortable may gradually become harder.
Cataract surgery is not simply about removing a cloudy lens. The surgical approach and choice of intraocular lens should be considered in the context of your eye health, visual requirements, lifestyle and expectations.
At AURA, cataract evaluation focuses on understanding your individual needs before discussing the most appropriate surgical and IOL options.

Which IOL Is Right for You?
There is no single IOL that is best for every patient.
Your recommendation may depend on:
- Corneal astigmatism
- Eye health
- Retinal health
- Existing spectacle prescription
- Lifestyle and occupation
- Reading and computer requirements
- Night-driving needs
- Desired range of vision
- Expectations regarding glasses
Your ophthalmologist will explain the potential benefits and limitations of the available options before surgery.
Technology
Modern Technology. Personalised Surgical Planning.
At AURA, cataract planning involves more than selecting a lens.
01 — Comprehensive Eye Evaluation: Assessment of your vision, cataract and overall eye health.
02 — Detailed Biometry: Measurements of the eye help determine the appropriate IOL power.
03 — Corneal & Astigmatism Assessment: Your corneal shape, astigmatism are considered when planning surgery.
04 — IOL Calculation & Surgical Planning: Your measurements, clinical findings to plan the procedure and lens choice.
05 — Cataract Surgery: Your planned cataract procedure is performed with the selected IOL.
06 — Post-Operative Follow-Up: Your recovery and visual outcome are monitored through scheduled follow-up visits.
Every eye is different. Your cataract plan should be too.
When should you consider Cataract Surgery?
You Don’t Have to Wait for a Cataract to “Mature”
Cataract surgery is generally considered when cataract-related vision changes begin to interfere with activities that matter to you.
You may want to discuss surgery if you are experiencing:
- Increasing blurred vision
- Glare from headlights or bright lights
- Difficulty driving at night
- Difficulty reading
- Reduced contrast
- Faded or dull colours
- Difficulty recognising faces or seeing details
- Increasing dependence on brighter lighting
- Frequent changes in your glasses
- Difficulty performing work or everyday activities
The appropriate timing depends on your symptoms, eye examination, visual needs and overall eye health.
A cataract evaluation can help you understand whether surgery is appropriate now—or whether monitoring is sufficient.

MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Important Information
The information provided on this page is for general educational purposes and is not a substitute for an individual medical consultation.
Cataract surgery, surgical technique, IOL selection and expected visual outcomes vary from person to person. Suitability for surgery and the most appropriate treatment or IOL can only be determined after a comprehensive eye examination and discussion with your ophthalmologist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a cataract have to mature before surgery?
No. A cataract does not necessarily need to become “mature” before surgery. Timing depends on how much the cataract is affecting your vision and daily activities, along with your ophthalmologist’s assessment.
Is cataract surgery painful?
Cataract surgery is generally performed using anaesthesia to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Your doctor will discuss the anaesthesia and procedure with you beforehand.
Which IOL is best for cataract surgery?
There is no single IOL that is best for everyone. IOL selection depends on your eye health, corneal astigmatism, visual requirements, lifestyle and expectations.
Can cataract surgery reduce my dependence on glasses?
Some IOL options are designed to provide vision across multiple distances and may reduce dependence on glasses in appropriately selected patients. However, results vary and complete freedom from glasses cannot be guaranteed.
Can cataract surgery correct my spectacle power?
The selected IOL power can address much of the existing refractive error in many patients. Your surgeon will discuss the expected result based on your measurements and eye health.
How long does cataract surgery take?
The surgical procedure itself is generally relatively short. Your total visit includes preparation, the procedure, and post-operative instructions. Your AURA team will explain the expected schedule for your surgery day.
Can both eyes have cataract surgery?
Cataract can affect both eyes. If both eyes require surgery, the timing and sequence will be individualised according to your clinical situation and your surgeon’s recommendation.
Can I drive after cataract surgery?
Driving should only be resumed when your ophthalmologist confirms that your vision meets the required standards and it is safe for you to drive. Follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions.
