What is the average age for cataract surgery?

What Is the average Age to Get Cataract Surgery?

Cataracts can start developing at any age; however, it is extremely unlikely that you will develop cataracts when you are young.

On average most people begin to experience the symptoms of cataracts at around 60 years old.

There is not necessarily a prime age to undergo cataract laser surgery, as everyone’s circumstance differs case by case.

This is why we provide compulsory consultations with our leading eye health specialists who will help you determine the right treatment based on your needs.

What are cataracts?

Cataracts are clouding of the lens in your eyes. Clouding can intensify over time, resulting in blurred or misty vision and eventually leading to blindness.

What age can you get cataracts?

This condition is typically age-related; however, cataracts can be caused by injury or trauma to the eye’s lens.

95% of adults in the UK over 40 experience some form of vision impairment due to cataracts, and 30% of adults over 65 experience cataracts in one or both eyes.

Is there an age limit for cataract surgery?

No. Cataract surgery is safe for people of any age.

How long should I wait for cataract surgery?

It is not always necessary to remove cataracts if they are not causing significant loss to your vision. However, if you are experiencing a serious loss in eyesight please note that it is never too late to get cataracts removed.

We recommend laser cataract surgery when your vision is impaired, but the cataracts are still immature.

This results in easier treatment and a better recovery time; it also aids in your vision and helps to avoid further impairments to your eyesight. Discover the advantages and disadvantages of cataract surgery for more information.

How do I know if I need cataract surgery?

You can look for a few signs that you are the right candidate for cataract surgery.

Some of the symptoms of cataracts include:

Occasionally blurred vision
A brown or yellow tinge to your eyes
Unable to see well in the dark or at night
Sensitivity to the light (meaning glare or bright lights is uncomfortable for your eyes)
You experience double vision

Please note that self-diagnosis is not recommended, and the information above is a guide to help you visit a medical expert. If you are experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms, get in touch to visit an eye health specialist for an accurate medical consultation.

  Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

  Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

  Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

  Fantastic process from beginning to end - professional yet incredibly personable. The professional team, especially Mr Tappin, made me feel at ease throughout and the surgery was a great success.

  I had lens replacement surgery.  After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens.  It really is amazing.  The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

  Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin.

Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way.

If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
