Cataract Eye Surgery in Mumbai

Inside our eyes, we have a natural lens which bends the light rays coming into the eye and help us to see. For clear vision, the lens must be clear and transparent.

A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens. For people with cataracts, it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up glass. Most cataracts develop slowly with no effect on your vision, but with time it gradually interferes with your vision. When cataract interferes with vision/daily activities, you might need cataract surgery. Fortunately, cataract surgery is safe and effective procedure.

Cataract surgery at IKSHA

Done on an outpatient basis, meaning you do not need to stay in hospital after the surgery.

Almost all the cataract surgeries are done under topical anesthesia (by putting ONLY EYEDROPS) and NO INJECTION is used to numb the eye except in special circumstances.

All cataract surgeries are done with PHACOEMULSIFICATION technique, which is a micro-incisional stitch-less cataract surgery.

A foldable intraocular lens is then implanted in the eye through the same micro-incision.

Vision correction for both near and far distance is possible, with least dependency on glasses.

Patient can resume work in the shortest possible time.
