Cataract Surgery


Cataracts manifest when the eye's lens darkens or clouds, impacting vision. The lens, a typically translucent, crystalline structure, directs light onto the retina, which transmits visual signals to the brain. However, protein buildup can obscure the lens, scattering or obstructing light and impeding clear vision. Cataracts may develop slowly over time, affecting one or both eyes, and are commonly associated with aging. Yet, they can also arise from factors like eye trauma, specific medications, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes. At Visual Eye Hospital, our specialists are committed to diagnosing and treating cataracts using cutting-edge techniques and technologies to restore and optimize your vision..

Common Symptoms :


1) Vision that's blurred or cloudy, hindering daily tasks.
2) Struggles with seeing in low-light or nighttime conditions.
3) Challenges with contrast sensitivity, such as distinguishing colors or identifying objects against similar backgrounds.
4) Frequent adjustments to eyeglass prescriptions without enhancing vision.
5) Glare or halos around lights, complicating activities like driving or reading.
6) Double vision or seeing ghost images.
7) Diminished depth perception.

Cataract surgery is typically advised when a cloudy lens significantly impairs vision, affecting daily tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces. The choice to undergo cataract surgery hinges on the patient's symptoms, vision requirements, and general health. In the procedure, the cloudy lens is surgically extracted and substituted with an artificial implant.

Prior to making a decision about cataract surgery, it's essential to consult with an ophthalmologist or eye specialist who can evaluate your eye health and offer personalized treatment advice. Cataract surgery is highly successful in enhancing vision and overall quality of life, and it's typically considered a safe and effective surgical option.s

Cataract surgeries are commonly conducted under local anesthesia. Throughout the procedure, a minor incision is made in the eye, and advanced ultrasound or laser technology is employed to break and extract the cloudy lens. Subsequently, an artificial lens is carefully implanted to replace the natural lens.

Cataract surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing most individuals to return home the same day. The eye might be shielded or bandaged briefly afterward. You'll receive prescribed eye drops to prevent infections and manage inflammation.

After the surgery, it's important to attend follow-up appointments with your cataract surgeon to oversee the healing of your eye and make any necessary adjustments to your medications. It's typical for your vision to progressively enhance in the days and weeks following the procedure.
