Cataract surgery is a common and highly effective procedure to remove a cloudy lens (cataract) from the eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). This surgery restores clear vision and improves quality of life, allowing you to enjoy daily activities without the limitations caused by blurred or dimmed vision.

Day Care Cataract Surgery at Sanjeevani Netralaya is a straightforward and efficient process:
Pre-Surgery Evaluation:
Before the surgery, you will undergo a comprehensive eye examination to assess the extent of the cataract and determine the most suitable intraocular lens (IOL) for your needs. Our specialists will explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Admission and Preparation:
On the day of the surgery, you will be admitted to our day care unit. Our team will prepare you for the procedure, including administering local anesthesia to numb the eye.
The Surgery:
The cataract surgery itself is quick, usually taking around 10 to 15 minutes. Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques such as Phacoemulsification, where a small ultrasonic probe is used to break up and remove the cataract. The new intraocular lens (IOL) is then carefully implanted to restore clear vision.
Post-Surgery Recovery:
After the surgery, you will rest in the recovery area for a short period while our team monitors your initial recovery. You will be provided with post-operative instructions and eye drops to aid healing and prevent infection.
Discharge:
Most patients are discharged within a few hours of the surgery, allowing you to return home the same day. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first day.
No, cataract surgery is not painful. It is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the eye, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or irritation afterward, but this usually resolves quickly.
Most patients can resume light activities within a day or two. However, you should avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or bending for at least a week. Your doctor will provide specific guidelines based on your individual recovery.
Cataract surgery is generally very safe, but like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, or retinal detachment. Our experienced surgeons take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcome.
It depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) you choose. Monofocal IOLs may require you to wear glasses for some activities, while multifocal or toric IOLs can reduce the need for glasses. Your doctor will discuss the options and help you choose the best IOL for your lifestyle and vision needs.
