Modern phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) chosen for how you use your eyes and for the anatomy of the eye. Monofocal, EDOF, multifocal, and toric IOLs from leading manufacturers (Alcon, J&J, Zeiss). Procedure under topical anesthetic, 15-20 minutes per eye, no overnight stay. From $600 with monofocal IOL.
Why choose us
Office worker, professional driver, golfer, scuba diver, each lifestyle profile matches a different IOL. We map your visual habits before recommending a lens.
If you have Fuchs dystrophy, prior LASIK, keratoconus, or a previous corneal transplant, cataract surgery becomes more complex. Dr. Shaarawy is a sub-specialist in both fields.
We import IOLs directly from the manufacturer with full traceability. EDOF, trifocal, and toric platforms all available, including the latest designs.
We issue detailed clinical reports in English for international insurance providers. Many policies cover at least the monofocal portion of the cost.
Cataract treatment map
Choose the symptom that fits you
Headlights scatter, halos sit around every light, night driving has become hard
The clouded natural lens is what scatters the light. Replacing it with a clear implant brings contrast back. Reading glasses stay part of the picture afterwards.
Small print needs more light and a longer arm than it used to
These implants spread focus across more than one distance, so glasses are needed less often for near work. Not every eye suits them. Corneal shape, pupil behaviour and retinal health settle that at the exam.
Surgery has been recommended, and there is a second problem in the same eye
A pterygium, a strained cornea, or a lens that has shifted changes the order of the plan. Sometimes both steps happen in one session. Sometimes they are staged so the measurements are taken on a settled cornea.
This guide points you in a direction. Your biometry and the corneal and retinal exam decide the lens and the surgical plan, not this widget.
Book a cataract assessmentDr. Ahmed Shaarawy explains why age alone is not a reason to avoid cornea or cataract surgery, and why poor sight in older people raises the risk of falls and fractures.
"The patient's age makes no difference at all to the decision to operate."

Is your vision getting cloudy?
A cataract clouds your eye's natural lens, making vision foggy, colors faded, and lights surrounded by large halos. Drag the divider to see the difference.
