Cataract & Lens Surgery Edinburgh
Consultant-led eye surgery in Edinburgh with clinic at South Gyle.
Cataract and lens surgery in Edinburgh is delivered by Dr Naing Tint with a clear focus on precision, safety and long-term results. Patients attend for consultation and treatment at our centrally located clinic, providing access for those travelling across Edinburgh, Midlothian, West Lothian and Fife.
Edinburgh presents a different day-to-day environment. Narrow streets, varied lighting conditions and a mix of older and modern housing can place added strain on vision. Many patients first notice issues when reading becomes more difficult or when contrast drops in lower light.
The clinic at South Gyle provides access from across the city and provides ample parking. Patients can attend from central areas, residential neighbourhoods and surrounding towns without needing to travel far. This suits those balancing appointments with work, school runs and daily routines or a visit to the Gyle Shopping Centre.

Cataract Surgery
Edinburgh
Cataracts develop over time and reduce clarity. You may notice dull colours, blurred vision or difficulty driving at night. Surgery replaces the affected lens with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision.
​
In Edinburgh, where walking, driving and screen use are part of daily life, clearer vision improves confidence and independence.
Lens Replacement Surgery Edinburgh
Lens replacement surgery is designed for patients who want to reduce reliance on glasses. It treats age-related vision changes and corrects common refractive errors.
​
Patients across Edinburgh choose this option when they want stable, reliable vision for work, reading and everyday activities without switching between glasses.
