See Clearly, Live Fully
Premium Cataract Surgery in Queensland
Premium Cataract Surgery is a life-changing procedure that not only removes cataracts but also corrects refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. This advanced procedure offers improved visual outcomes and enhanced quality of life for those experiencing cataracts.
Advantages of “Premium” Cataract Surgery
Premium Cataract Surgery offers several key advantages over traditional cataract surgery:
-
Improved Visual Clarity
Premium lenses are offered that can provide better visual range and reduce the need for glasses after surgery.
-
Correction of Astigmatism
Premium lenses can correct astigmatism, providing clearer vision at all distances.
-
Ultimate Choice
Not all lenses are made equal. At Focus Vision you will be offered bespoke lens options that are customised to your personal lifestyle and needs. Cataract surgery isn’t and shouldn’t be one size fits all.
-
Potential for Glasses Independence
Many patients experience reduced dependence on glasses for both near and distance vision.

The Premium Cataract Surgery Procedure
Premium Cataract Surgery is a safe and effective treatment that typically takes less than 20 minutes per eye. Your operation will be performed in an accredited day hospital with a team of nurses and doctors looking after you. The procedure is performed under topical and sedation which means you will be heavily sedated and there is no use of needles or anaesthetic blocks around the eye. In other words, you comfortably sleep through the surgery and won’t experience any pain around your eye due to anaesthetic drops.
During the procedure, the clouded lens is removed and replaced with a premium artificial lens, customized to your unique prescription and needs. Most patients experience improved vision immediately after the procedure, with minimal downtime.
Cost and Financing Options for Premium Cataract Surgery
The cost of Premium Cataract Surgery can vary depending on individual factors such as the type of premium lens chosen and any additional procedures required. If you have held private hospital insurance that covers cataract surgery (Item number 42702) for at least 12 months you will be able to use this to fund some of your treatment. Our practice offers transparent pricing and flexible financing options to make Premium Cataract Surgery accessible to all patients. During your consultation, we will provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs.
Common questions about Premium Cataract Surgery:
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes per eye.
Are both eyes treated on the same day?
No. At Focus Vision we prefer to operate on each eye on separate days to minimise the risk of cross contamination and also maximise the rebates you will receive from medicare and your insurer. The second eye is often treated the next day or a few days later.
I’m scared of eye surgery - do I have to be awake?
No, our surgeons offer heavy twilight sedation delivered by a consultant anaesthetic doctor. You will remember meeting the anaesthetist and then waking up in recovery. Most patients sleep deeply through the surgery and have no memory of it at all.
Is the recovery painful?
No, most patients experience minimal discomfort following the procedure. Some mild irritation on the first night is common.
What is the recovery process like?
Most patients can resume normal activities and driving within a few days of the procedure. Some patients are back at work in a few days, but taking a week or two off work is reasonable particularly if your work exposes you to a lot of dirt and dust.
How long do premium lenses last?
Premium lenses are designed to be permanent and should last a lifetime.
