Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). This restores sharp vision, reduces glare, and improves overall quality of life. Our health tourism platform ensures that cataract surgery is performed with precise preoperative planning, advanced surgical techniques, and personalized lens selection for optimal visual outcomes.

Who Is a Good Candidate

Candidates include individuals who:

• Have cataract-related vision impairment

• Experience difficulty with daily activities due to cloudy vision

• Maintain healthy ocular structures for safe surgery A full eye examination assesses cataract severity, retinal health, and corneal integrity.

Pre-Treatment Process

Pre-surgery preparation includes:

• Detailed eye exam, measurements, and imaging

• Lens type selection based on lifestyle needs

• Discussion of risks, expectations, and recovery plan

• Instructions on medications, fasting, and eye care prior to surgery

Surgical Procedure

Performed under local anesthesia with topical numbing drops:

• Small incision is made in the cornea

• Phacoemulsification is used to break up and remove the cloudy lens

• Artificial intraocular lens is implanted

• Incision is self-sealing, minimizing recovery time The procedure lasts about 15–30 minutes per eye.

Post-Treatment & Recovery

Patients use prescribed eye drops and avoid rubbing the eyes. Mild discomfort and blurry vision are expected initially. Follow-up visits monitor healing and visual improvement. Normal activities can often resume within a few days, with optimal vision achieved within 2–4 weeks.

Results & Longevity

Cataract surgery restores clear vision, reduces glare, and improves quality of life. Intraocular lenses are designed for long-term clarity and durability.
