Cataract Treatment
Definition of Cataract
A cataract is a progressive condition where the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry or impaired vision. This clouding, which typically occurs with age, interferes with the way light passes through the eye, resulting in difficulties with activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces.

Every patient’s journey begins with a comprehensive consultation in which our experts assess the type and stage of the cataract and the general health of the patient’s eyes.

When to undergo cataract surgery
Your ophthalmologist will advise on when the time is appropriate to have cataract surgery performed. Generally, this is indicated when your quality of life is affected by cataracts, for instance, by impairing vision necessary for everyday activities like reading or driving. Other medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, may make cataracts grow quicker and so intervention is also worthwhile in these cases.
The cloudy natural lens inside your eye will be removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens, or IOL. This is a day procedure, usually performed under local anesthesia to eliminate pain, and typically takes less than 30 minutes. You can go home the same day.
At times, if an intraocular lens cannot be implanted, correction of vision is carried out using eyeglasses or contact lenses. General terms of the surgery indicate its safety; however, like every surgical procedure, there are risks such as risk of infection, bleeding, or retinal detachment. Costs of these risks should be discussed with your doctor before surgery.
Postoperative Care
You may experience moderate pain for a few days after the surgery, but you are asked by your surgeon to strictly follow his prescriptions, use prescribed eye drops to prevent infection, and avoid vigorous exercises for some time. Final recovery and sharp vision take about a month.
The second eye will be operated upon but will be treated only when the first eye heals.
