Your cataract lens decision deserves more than five minutes.
The lens implanted during cataract surgery stays in your eye for life. Most patients make this choice in a brief surgical consultation — without independent advice, without time to ask questions, and without fully understanding the options. The Lens Audit changes that.
What you receive
A written report from a GMC-registered Consultant Ophthalmologist — a senior hospital specialist with no ties to any clinic, surgeon, or lens manufacturer.
- Which lens types suit your eyes and why
- Which options are not appropriate for you
- What realistic outcomes to expect
- Questions to ask your surgeon
Why come prepared?
Patients who arrive at their surgical consultation already informed make better decisions, ask better questions, and report higher satisfaction with their outcome.
There are approximately 8–11 clinically distinct lens options available for most patients — from basic monofocal lenses to advanced trifocal and EDOF designs. The right choice depends entirely on your individual measurements, lifestyle, and visual goals. No two patients are the same.
How the Consultant classifies lens suitability — a worked example
The report scores each lens category against your clinical data and stated lifestyle priorities. Below is an illustrative extract showing how suitability is communicated:
