Mumbai’s Best Eye Surgeons Providing Advanced Bladeless Cataract Surgery

    Bladeless Cataract Surgery in Thane

    A cataract is a condition in which there is a clouding of the eye’s normally clear lens. It is one of the leading causes of vision impairment, especially in older adults. The only way to treat a cataract is to surgically remove the clouded natural lens and replace it with an artificial lens.

    While traditional cataract surgery has been practiced successfully for decades, the emergence of bladeless cataract surgery has transformed eye care by offering patients enhanced precision, safety, and comfort.

    Thane, with its growing healthcare infrastructure, has become a trusted hub for advanced ophthalmic treatments. The availability of skilled eye specialists, modern facilities, and cutting-edge laser technologies has made bladeless cataract surgery a preferred choice for patients looking for reliable and minimally invasive vision restoration.

    What is Bladeless Cataract Surgery?

    Bladeless cataract surgery, also called femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), is an advanced procedure that uses laser technology instead of handheld blades.

    The laser makes precise incisions, fragments the cloudy natural lens, and assists in inserting an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

    Unlike traditional cataract surgery, where a blade is used to make incisions and treatment outcomes depend largely on the surgeon’s hand skills, bladeless surgery relies on computer-guided accuracy. This reduces surgical risks and increases the predictability of results.

    Causes of Cataract

    Cataracts usually develop due to an increase in age and is commonly seen in people above 40 years of age. It may also develop due to certain health or lifestyle issues. Certain factors could increase the risk of cataract development, including the following:

    • Excess exposure to UV light from the sun
    • Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
    • Family history of cataracts
    • Long-term use of certain medications or steroids
    • Previous eye injuries or surgeries
    • Uncontrolled diabetes (blood sugar levels)
    • Hypertension or other chronic medical conditions
    • Exposure to radiation
    • Poor nutrition

    Symptoms of Cataract

    Cataracts may develop slowly, but the symptoms can significantly interfere with daily life. Common symptoms associated with cataract include:

    • Blurred or cloudy vision
    • Sensitivity to glare or bright lights
    • Fading or yellowing of colors
    • Difficulty seeing at night
    • Double vision in one eye
    • Frequent changes in prescription glasses

    If you notice any of these symptoms, you need to consult an ophthalmologist at the earliest to diagnose the condition and prevent further vision decline.

    Bladeless Cataract Surgery Procedure at Surya Eye Hospital

    At Surya Eye Hospital, a stepwise approach is used when delivering a safe, painless, and effective bladeless cataract procedure in Thane region. The various steps involved are:

    The following are the preparatory steps before undergoing bladeless cataract surgery:

     

    • The eye doctor performs a comprehensive eye examination and reviews the medical history of the patient.
    • Advanced imaging systems measure the size, shape, and curvature of the eye. These details help plan the most effective and personalized surgical approach.
    • The doctor will explain in detail about the procedure, its recovery time, and potential benefits and risks.
    • Antibiotic eye drops may be prescribed to reduce the possibility of infection.
    • Fasting instructions may be provided before the surgery.
    • You will be instructed to stop certain medicines, like blood thinners, a couple of days before the procedure.
    • You need to arrange for a family member or friend to take you home safely after the surgery.

    The steps involved in bladeless cataract surgery include the following:

     

    • Numbing eye drops or local anesthesia are administered to numb the eye.
    • An ultrasound is placed over the eye for mapping the surface and get information about the eye’s lens. The results are sent to a computer to program the laser.
    • The surgeon then uses the femtosecond laser to create a corneal incision. A portion of the thin capsular membrane surrounding the natural lens is removed to access the cataract.
    • A laser will be used to soften the cataract. An ultrasound probe is then used to break the lens into several pieces and removes these pieces through the incision. 
    • The eye surgeon then inserts a new intraocular lens/IOL in the eye to replace the natural eye lens. This incision does not require stitches to close it.

    You may expect the following after undergoing a bladeless cataract surgery:

     

    • You will be under observation for a short time (less than 30 minutes) before being allowed to go home.
    • There may be temporary irritation, redness, or watering of the eyes for a short period after surgery.
    • Eye drops need to be used as prescribed by the eye doctor to prevent infection.
    • You need to avoid touching or rubbing the treated eye, swimming, or performing strenuous activities during the recovery period.
    • You need to wear an eye shield when sleeping and protective eyeglasses when going outside.
    • Follow-ups with the doctor are recommended at regular intervals.

    Ideal Candidates for Bladeless Cataract Surgery

    An ideal candidate for bladeless cataract surgery should meet the following criteria:

    • Cataract-related symptoms that affect daily activities
    • More than 18 years of age with a stable eye prescription for at least one year before the procedure
    • Good eye health
    • Good general health
    • Presence of adequate corneal thickness
    • Presence of pre-existing refractive errors, such as astigmatism, along with cataract, needing precise correction

    Our experienced bladeless cataract surgeon in Thane region at Surya Eye Hospital performs a comprehensive assessment to determine if you are the right candidate for undergoing bladeless cataract surgery.

    Benefits of Bladeless Cataract Surgery

    There are several advantages of undergoing bladeless cataract surgery compared to traditional cataract surgery, including the following:

    • Greater precision: The use of femtosecond lasers allows for highly accurate corneal incisions and lens fragmentation, leading to predictable outcomes and better placement of intraocular lenses.
    • Enhanced safety: Since no handheld blades are used, the chances of surgical error or infection are significantly reduced, ensuring a safer surgical experience.
    • Personalized treatment: The procedure is guided by computer imaging, enabling customization based on the patient’s unique eye anatomy and vision requirements.
    • Quicker recovery: The patient usually heals faster because laser-created incisions are smoother and cause less trauma to the surrounding tissues.
    • Improved visual results: Many patients report clearer, sharper vision with reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses after surgery.
    • Reduced discomfort: The minimally invasive nature of laser surgery means less inflammation, less swelling, and a more comfortable recovery period.

    What is an Intraocular Lens (IOL) and What Are Its Different Types?

    An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens implanted in the eye to replace the natural lens removed during cataract surgery. The IOL restores clarity and can also correct refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses.

    Patients undergoing bladeless cataract treatment in Thane area at Surya Eye Hospital can choose from various IOL options, such as:

    • Monofocal IOL: Provides clear vision at a single focal point (distance or near).
    • Multifocal IOL: Offers vision correction at multiple distances, reducing dependence on glasses.
    • Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOL: Delivers a continuous range of vision, especially for intermediate tasks, like computer work.
    • Trifocal IOL: Provides sharp vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.
    • Toric IOL: Specifically designed for patients with astigmatism.
    • Accommodating IOL: Mimics the natural focusing ability of the eye for greater visual flexibility.

    Risks of Bladeless Cataract Surgery

    Although bladeless cataract surgery is generally considered to be a safe procedure, it may be associated with some risks, like:

    • Temporary distorted or blurred vision
    • Infection
    • Dislocation or misalignment of the IOL, indicating the need for additional surgery
    • Dryness of eyes
    • Irritation of the eyes
    • Residual refractive errors
    • Sensitivity to bright light
    • Drooping eyelid
    • Secondary cataract (posterior capsule opacification)
    • Increased eye pressure (glaucoma)
    • Loss of vision (rare)
    • Retinal detachment (rare)

    What is the Cost of Bladeless Cataract Surgery in Thane?

    The bladeless cataract surgery cost in Thane generally ranges between ₹20,000 and ₹1,20,000 per eye. The cost varies depending on factors like:

    • Type of IOL chosen
    • Complexity of the problem
    • Eye surgeon’s expertise and credentials
    • Eye hospital’s infrastructure and technology
    • Consultation fees
    • Pre- and post-operative care requirements
    • Cost of medications and follow-up visits

    Surya Eye Hospital provides advanced bladeless cataract surgery at competitive and transparent costs, ensuring both affordability and excellence in outcomes.

    Bladeless Cataract Surgery vs. Traditional Cataract Surgery

    When comparing the bladeless and traditional cataract surgery, patients should consider some important factors, including:
    • Technology: Bladeless cataract surgery uses lasers while the traditional method involves the use of handheld blades.
    • Precision: Bladeless surgery ensures higher accuracy than traditional surgery.
    • Safety: Bladeless surgery reduces the risk of infection and human error in comparison to traditional surgery.
    • Recovery: Faster healing is usually noticed with bladeless surgery compared to traditional surgery.
    • Cost: Traditional surgery is generally more affordable but may lack the benefits of laser-assisted precision provided by bladeless surgery.

    Ultimately, the choice of the surgical technique depends on the patient’s eye condition, lifestyle needs, and preference, guided by the ophthalmologist’s recommendation.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    No, bladeless cataract surgery is considered to be a painless procedure. Numbing eye drops are used before the procedure, ensuring that the patient feels no pain during treatment. Slight pressure or mild discomfort may be experienced during the surgery, which usually lasts for only a couple of minutes.

    The bladeless cataract surgery procedure itself usually lasts 15 to 20 minutes per eye. However, on including the preparation and recovery time, the patient may have to spend a couple of hours at the hospital for the procedure.

    Most patients notice improved vision within 24 to 48 hours after bladeless cataract surgery. However, the clarity continues to improve as the eye heals over several weeks. Following post-surgery instructions carefully ensures the best and most stable visual outcomes.

    Most eye surgeons prefer performing bladeless cataract surgery on one eye at a time, with a gap of a few days to weeks between procedures. This approach ensures proper healing and allows doctors to evaluate the outcome before performing surgery on the second eye.

    Most insurance policies cover cataract surgery, though coverage may differ for advanced bladeless techniques and premium IOLs. It is best to confirm with your insurance provider beforehand. Surya Eye Hospital offers guidance in understanding insurance policy inclusions and payment options.
