A Cataract is a clouding of the normally clear and transparent lens of the eye. It can be compared to a window that is frosted or yellowed.
The common symptoms of Cataract include:
- A painless blurring of vision.
- Glare of light sensitivity.
- Poor night vision.
- Double eye vision in one eye.
- Needing brighter light to read.
- Fading or yellowing of colours.

What happens in Cataract?
|
|
| |
|
|
In a normal eye, light focuses precisely
on the retina. |
In an eye with a Cataract, light scatters throughout the eye instead of focusing precisely on the retina. |

How is Cataract treated ?
|
|
| |
Surgery is the only way a cataract can be removed. Surgery consists of removal of Cataract & Replacement with an artificial lens (IOL – Intra Ocular Lens of an appropriate power) |

Differences between Conventional and Phaco Surgery
|
|
| |
|
|
Conventional Large Incision |
Very Small Phaco Incision |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Foldable Intraocular Lens
|
|
| |
A foldable intraocular lens can be folded to half its size. This makes it possible to insert the lens into the eye through the small phaco incision.
Once a foldable lens has been placed in the capsular bag, it folds into its normal size. |

- Cataract Surgery is performed under topical anesthesia i.e. few drops of anesthesia – NO INJECTIONS.
- The preferred surgical technique used is Phaco Emulsif
 ication (Cold Phaco) with foldable IOL (Lens) implantation.
- We use Sovereign Whitestar Classic – Phaco Machine from AMO, USA for cold Phaco in all cases.
- Cataract Surgery lasts for only 15 – 20 minutes. IOL: Depending on your choice, we use all types of IOLS. Non foldable to foldable and the latest Presbyopia correcting IOLS (Restor Acrysof Multifocal from Alcon, USA. Tecnis Multifocal & Resume Multifocal from AMO, USA) reducing the spectacle dependence after the operation.
- Drapes, knives used by us are disposable and imported from USA/Japan.
