CATARACT SURGERY EXPLAINED

Cataract Surgery is a modern eye procedure designed to remove the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replace it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataracts usually develop gradually with aging and may cause blurred vision, glare from lights, difficulty seeing at night, dull colors, and reduced clarity. When untreated, cataracts can significantly impact everyday activities such as reading, driving, watching television, and recognizing faces clearly.

The surgery is commonly performed using advanced Phacoemulsification technology, a minimally invasive method where ultrasonic energy breaks the cloudy lens into tiny fragments for gentle removal through a micro-incision. This stitch-free procedure is painless and usually completed within 15–20 minutes under local anesthesia. Most patients notice clearer vision within a short time and return to routine activities as advised by their eye specialist.

Patients can select from various intraocular lens options including Monofocal, Multifocal, and Toric lenses depending on visual needs and lifestyle preferences. Premium lens choices may reduce dependence on glasses and enhance overall visual performance. Cataract Surgery is considered highly safe, effective, and widely performed with excellent success rates in restoring bright and sharp vision.
