That’s why you can rely on Mr. Deshmukh, an expert cataract surgeon in London, to deliver your cataract surgery.
A cataract is an opacity (or cloudiness) in the lens of the eye. This cloudiness develops inside the lens and restricts light passing through the eye and reaching the retina. When this occurs, vision is affected. An opacity can be quite minor, or it can become so marked that it prevents adequate vision.
Cataract removal is one of the most common eye operations performed in the UK today. It is also one of the safest and most effective, with a success rate of over 98%.

Treatment Options & Why Surgery is the Best Solution
Only cataracts causing symptoms need treatment. Modern cataract surgery is highly effective in restoring vision for most patients.
- Procedure: Cataract surgery is performed as a day case procedure, typically taking 10–15 minutes. However, you will need approximately 2–3 hours for preparation and recovery.
- How it Works: The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens through a small incision and replacing it with a new artificial lens, called the IntraOcular Lens (IOL) or implant, made from acrylic materials.


Choosing the Right Lens for You
Cataract surgery isn’t just about restoring vision—it’s about enhancing it. With advanced intraocular lenses (IOLs), you can choose a solution that fits your lifestyle, whether it’s crisp distance vision, seamless focus at all ranges, or astigmatism correction.

Step-by-Step Process

Before Surgery
Before undergoing RLE, you will have a detailed eye examination to determine the best intraocular lens (IOL) suited to your lifestyle and vision goals. You may be advised to stop wearing contact lenses for a few days, avoid certain medications, and use prescribed eye drops to prepare your eyes for the procedure.

During Surgery
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort with no pain.
- A tiny incision is made at the edge of the cornea.
- The natural lens is gently removed using advanced ultrasound technology.
- A premium intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted in its place.
- The incision is self-sealing, so no stitches are required.
- The entire procedure takes 15-20 minutes per eye.

After Surgery
- Immediate improvement in vision is often noticeable within a day or two.
- You can resume most daily activities within 4 to 7 days, but avoid heavy lifting, swimming, and eye rubbing for a few weeks.
- Full recovery generally takes four to six weeks.
- Some patients experience temporary glare or halos, but these usually subside.
- Regular follow-ups ensure smooth recovery and optimal vision correction.

EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Google Frederick NewallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr Deshmukh performed cataract surgery on both my eyes four weeks ago. The results have been excellent. My sight has improved dramatically, long medium and short. Mr Deshmukh gave me a clear understanding of the procedure and helpful post operationPosted on Google Jenni WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For several years, I have been seeing Mr Deshmukh for suspected glaucoma and have been very impressed by his skill and sensitivity. When he suggested that now was the time to have cataract surgery, I had no hesitation in following his advice. He is very good at explaining the procedures and I opted for bilateral surgery with premium interocular lenses.I was slightly apprehensive before the operation but was reassured by all the staff. They were quite right as immediately afterwards I could read the notices in the corridor. It is wonderful not to be wearing glasses. I am 83 years old and cannot recommend Mr Deshmukh highly enough.Posted on Google E HawthornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can 100% recommend Mr. Rajesh Deshmukh for eye surgery. Mr. Deshmukh performed a cataract operation on my right eye during March 2024 and on my left eye eleven weeks later. In each case, it would have been possible to drive within two days after the operation. I drove after six days, as I do not drive every day. I can now read a car number plate at 63 metres. His whole medical team was very good at reducing my anxiety prior to the operations, which were painless. In each case, I would not have known that my eye had undergone an operation, other than the effects of the pupil dilation drops taking a full 24 hours to completely diminish. Before the operation, my eyes exceeded the legal requirement for driving, but the possibility of not being able to drive in the future was never going to be acceptable to me. I believe we forget how good our eyes once were, as changes happen very slowly over a very long time-period.Posted on Google Richard BoothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m 58-year-old who had early onset of cataracts. The cataract surgery was complicated by some RK surgery I had around 25 years ago. The cataracts were affecting my golf, I was struggling to play tennis under floodlights and drive in the dark. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I now have perfect distance eyesight and can comfortably read texts on my phone and night vision is excellent. Mr Deshmukh took the time to understand my demands and complications with my eyesight. He clearly takes pride and interest in his work; I can’t recommend him highly enough.Posted on Google R DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My Both eyes cataract removal with lens exchange to correct vision has been carried out recently by Consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Ragesh Deshmuk in the private patient unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. He also carried out follow-up consultations after the operation, the results were excellent for both eyes. I cannot believe I no longer need one after 40 years of using spectacles! I am thrilled with his excellent surgical ability. I am grateful for the exceptional care and skill Mr. Deshmukh and his team demonstrated in this matter. I also thank Ms Paula Jessup for her effort in arranging the timetables and all communications in this process. Wahab WeliPosted on Google zoe mcmillanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr Deshmukh carried out bilateral cataract surgery and insertion of trifocal lenses three weeks ago. The whole process was easy and reassuring. I can honestly say that the surgery itself was relaxing and pleasant - if you’re putting it off because you’re nervous - don’t be! This is the first time in nearly seventy years that I haven’t worn glasses and it’s life changing.
