Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures in modern eye care, offering patients a chance to regain clear vision and significantly improve their quality of life. At Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, we specialize in advanced cataract surgery techniques, ensuring safe, effective, and comfortable treatment for patients of all ages.
What Is a Cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens inside the eye, which leads to blurry or distorted vision. This condition typically develops with age, but can also be caused by factors such as diabetes, eye injury, prolonged exposure to UV rays, or long-term use of certain medications. Cataracts can affect one or both eyes and tend to progress gradually, making early detection and timely treatment essential.
Symptoms of Cataracts
Cataracts can cause a variety of visual problems, including:
-
Blurred or cloudy vision
-
Sensitivity to light and glare
-
Difficulty seeing at night
-
Faded colors
-
Double vision in one eye
-
Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to have a comprehensive eye examination. At Dr. Agarwal’s, our experienced ophthalmologists use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to detect cataracts at their earliest stages.
When Is Cataract Surgery Needed?
Cataract surgery becomes necessary when the cloudy lens interferes with your daily activities, such as reading, driving, or watching television. Surgery is the only effective treatment to remove a cataract and restore clear vision. The good news is that cataract surgery is a quick, outpatient procedure with a very high success rate.
The Cataract Surgery Procedure at Dr. Agarwal’s
At Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, we offer blade-free laser cataract surgery and traditional phacoemulsification surgery, depending on the patient’s condition and preference. The surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Here’s what you can expect:
-
Pre-operative Evaluation: A thorough eye examination and measurements to determine the most suitable IOL for your vision needs.
-
Anesthesia: Local or topical anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure.
-
Lens Removal: The cataract is broken into small fragments using ultrasound or laser and then removed.
-
IOL Implantation: A customized intraocular lens is inserted in place of the removed natural lens.
-
Recovery: The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes per eye, and patients can return home the same day.
Advanced Technology and Premium Lenses
Dr. Agarwal’s offers a range of premium IOLs, including:
-
Multifocal IOLs – for both near and distance vision
-
Toric IOLs – for correcting astigmatism
-
EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) IOLs – for continuous vision without glasses
These lens options can significantly reduce your dependence on spectacles post-surgery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from cataract surgery is usually quick and smooth. Patients may notice improved vision within a few hours, with full recovery in a few days to weeks. It’s important to follow all post-operative instructions, including using prescribed eye drops, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up visits.
