Mr. Morrissey changed my life. The premium cataract surgery was entirely painless, and being able to read and drive without glasses again feels like a miracle. His bedside manner is extraordinarily calming.

Verified on Doctify

I had functional blepharoplasty done to help my peripheral vision. The cosmetic improvement was an added bonus, but the precision and reassurance Mr. Morrissey provided was what truly stood out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I suitable for Refractive Lens Exchange?

RLE is generally ideal for patients over 50 who wear reading glasses, have early cataracts, or have a high prescription that makes laser eye surgery unsuitable. A comprehensive consultation and advanced scans will confirm your exact eligibility and the best premium lens for your lifestyle.

Is cataract surgery painful?

No. Cataract surgery is performed under local anaesthetic drops, meaning your eye is completely numb. You will be awake, but most patients report feeling only mild pressure or seeing bright lights. The procedure itself typically takes just 15-20 minutes per eye.

What is the recovery time for blepharoplasty?

Initial swelling and bruising typically peak within the first 48 hours and resolve significantly by day 7-10 when your fine sutures are removed in the clinic. Most patients feel very comfortable returning to work, zoom calls, and social activities after 1-2 weeks.

Will I still need glasses after surgery?

If you opt for premium multifocal or Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses during cataract or RLE surgery, the primary goal is to provide independence from glasses for the vast majority of daily tasks, including driving and reading. Standard monofocal lenses usually still require reading glasses post-surgery.

What are the risks of lens replacement surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are minor risks including infection, inflammation, or visual halos at night. However, lens replacement is one of the most common and safest procedures performed globally. Mr. Morrissey uses advanced micro-incisional techniques to minimise risks to an absolute fraction of a percent.

How long do premium intraocular lenses last?

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery and Refractive Lens Exchange are designed to last a lifetime. They do not degrade or require replacement over time, meaning your corrected vision should remain stable for the rest of your life, barring other age-related eye conditions.

Can I have both eyes operated on at the same time?

Yes, bilateral surgery (operating on both eyes on the same day) is becoming increasingly common and is perfectly safe for many patients. Mr. Morrissey will discuss whether immediate sequential bilateral surgery is appropriate for your specific case during your consultation.

What happens during the initial consultation?

Your initial consultation is a comprehensive 45-60 minute appointment. It includes high-definition ocular coherence tomography (OCT) scans, biometry measurements, a thorough medical history review, and a direct discussion with Mr. Morrissey regarding your surgical options, expected outcomes, and transparent pricing.
