Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the cloudy lens of the eye and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts are the leading cause of reversible blindness, and surgery is the most effective treatment to restore clear vision.
India provides advanced ophthalmology care, experienced surgeons, and access to modern surgical technologies like phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.
Clouding of the natural lens causing blurred or hazy vision
Difficulty with daily activities: reading, driving, or recognizing faces
Glare, halos, or poor night vision
Cataracts causing significant vision impairment or interference with work
Congenital cataracts in children affecting visual development
Blurred or dim vision
Glare from sunlight or headlights
Difficulty seeing at night
Double vision in one eye
Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
Colors appearing faded or yellowed
Phacoemulsification
Most common technique
Ultrasound breaks the cataract, and the lens is removed through a small incision
Intraocular lens implanted
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)
Laser used for precise incisions and lens fragmentation
Minimally invasive with faster healing
Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE)
Large incision to remove lens in one piece
Used in advanced or complicated cataracts
Intracapsular Cataract Extraction (ICCE)
Rarely used; entire lens and capsule removed
Mostly in severe cases or trauma
Pre-operative Assessment
Comprehensive eye exam
Measurement of eye dimensions for intraocular lens (IOL) selection
Assessment for other eye conditions or comorbidities
Surgical Procedure
Performed under local anesthesia with sedation
Small incision made, cataract removed, and IOL implanted
Procedure duration: 15–45 minutes
Post-operative Care
Outpatient procedure; most patients go home same day
Eye drops prescribed to prevent infection and reduce inflammation
Avoid rubbing eyes or strenuous activities for a few weeks
Follow-up visits to monitor healing and vision improvement
Restores clear vision and daily functioning
Reduces glare, halos, and night vision problems
Improves quality of life and independence
Minimally invasive techniques allow rapid recovery
Can be combined with astigmatism correction or multifocal lens implantation
