What is Cataract?

When proteins present in the eye, form clumps, it muddles your vision with a cloudy, hazy outline. This
interference can cause clouding of the lens of your eyes. If left untreated, cataracts could lead to total blindness.

The symptoms of cataracts are prominent when you’re between the age of 50–60. If you experience blurry
vision or any vision-related problems, our experts can guide you through Advanced Cataract Surgeries.

Advanced Cataract Surgeries

Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital has always been tech-forward in the healthcare industry. Bringing latest
innovations in Cataract treatments for faster recovery and accurate results is at the heart of our eye experts.

Phacoemulsification

A very tiny incision is made on the edge of the cornea and a thin probe is inserted inside the eye. Ultrasound waves are passed through this probe. These waves break up your cataract. The fragments are then suctioned out. The capsule of your lens is left behind to make a provision for the artificial lens placement.

Extra-capsular Cataract Extraction (Small Incision Cataract Surgery SICS)

In this procedure, a slightly larger cut is made. Surgical tools are inserted through the cut to remove the nucleus of your lens and then to remain a cortical matter of the lens is then aspirated. The lens capsule is left behind for the artificial lens to fit. This technique may need stitches.

After the cataract has been removed, an artificial lens called IOL or intraocular lens is implanted. This lens may be made of silicone, plastic, or acrylic. Some IOLs are able to block out UV light and there are others that provide both near and distant vision correction called Multifocal or Trifocal lenses.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Surgery (FLACS)

In Laser Cataract Surgeries, with help of the laser, a tiny cut is made and the front capsule of the lens is removed. However, with Femto laser technology, we cannot perform full cataract surgery. It will help in the initial parts of the surgery after which we will use the Phacoemulsification machine to remove the actual cloudy lens.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I have Cataract Surgery?

Once your blurry vision starts to interfere with your daily activities like reading, writing, or driving - it may be time for you to discuss it with your doctor. You might need cataract surgery.

How much does Cataract Surgery cost?

The cost of cataract surgery varies based on your insurance coverage, your insurance deductibles or copays, and which lens option you choose. We at Dr Agarwals offer Interest-free EMI Facility and 100% Cashless Surgery.

What should I expect on the day of surgery?

Dr Agarwals offers Same Day Discharge. Upon arrival at the facility, you will be given eye drops and your eyes will be examined. After the procedure and your recovery, your vision will be checked again and then you will be discharged.

What will my recovery be like?

The day after cataract surgery most patients will be able to return to all normal activities like reading, knitting, golfing, or driving.

Is blindness caused by Cataracts reversible?

Blindness from cataracts can be reversed by having cataract surgery. This is possible, thanks to having the natural lens removed and an artificial lens put in its place.

Can delaying Cataract Surgery cause more damage to the eyes?

Patients who wait more than 6 months for cataract surgery may experience negative outcomes during the waiting period, including vision loss, reduced quality of life, and an increased rate of falls.

How long does the surgery take?

Cataract surgery is a straightforward procedure that usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. It's often carried out as day surgery under local anaesthesia and you should be able to go home on the same day.

What are the most common symptoms?

At first, the cloudiness in your vision may affect only a small part of the eye's lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens and distorts the light passing through the lens. This may lead to more-noticeable symptoms.

What will happen if Cataract is left untreated?

If cataracts are left untreated, they will eventually cause significant disruption in everyday life and interfere with normal activities like driving a car or watching television. Ultimately, complete vision loss will result.
