Mumbai’s Best Eye Surgeons Providing Advanced LASIK Eye Treatments
Cataract is a common eye condition that generally affects the aging population. Cataract surgery, also known as lens replacement surgery, is the only proven treatment method that can help manage the condition in adults.
Cataract surgery is considered to be a painless and quick surgery with fast recovery. It involves the removal of the cloudy eye lens that is causing vision problems and replacing it with a clear, artificial lens.
Surya Eye Hospital at Bandra West offers the best cataract surgery in Bandra using advanced eye care equipment and technology.
Our Bandra West Center caters to the people staying in Western or southern Mumbai. For people residing in Central Mumbai/Thane and Navi Mumbai, we have two more centers, located in Mulund West and Airoli respectively.
Cataract surgery refers to a type of eye surgery performed to remove cloudy lens (cataract) and improve vision.
The eye, similar to a camera, consists of a lens that enables the focusing of the light. The lens is primarily made of water and proteins. When a cataract forms, the proteins start breaking down naturally, causing the lens to become yellow and cloudy.
A cataract prevents the light from passing through the eye lens properly, resulting in symptoms like blurred or double vision and halos around the bright lights.
The cloudy lens will be removed and replaced with a clear, artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL). IOLs are clear, enabling light to pass through and get focused on the eye. They are available in various focusing powers and can also help correct farsightedness and nearsightedness.
After the age of 40, the proteins in the lens of the eye naturally begin to break down. Most cataracts develop due to these natural changes due to aging.
However, the following factors could also increase the risk of developing cataracts:
The symptoms associated with cataract include the following:
Our experienced eye doctors at Surya Eye Hospital will examine your eye and general health comprehensively to determine if you are the right candidate for cataract surgery.
If you are over 40 years of age, have a cloudy vision, and are experiencing cataract symptoms affecting your daily life, like problems with night vision or the requirement for brighter light to read, you are a good candidate for cataract surgery.
Not all cataracts, however, need to be removed surgically. Our eye specialists will evaluate and discuss with you whether or not you need to undergo cataract surgery.
An intraocular lens (IOL) is a small, artificial lens for the eye. It replaces the natural lens of the eye that is removed during cataract surgery.
Most IOLs are made of acrylic, silicone, or plastic materials. They will also be coated with a special type of material that helps protect the eyes from the harmful UV rays from the sun.
IOLs are of different focusing powers, similar to prescription contact lenses or eyeglasses. Our skilled ophthalmologist at Surya Eye Hospital will measure the length of your eye and the curve of the cornea to set the focusing power of your IOL.
Different types of IOLs can be used for different people based on their eye condition, individual situation, lifestyle, and budget. Our eye specialist at Surya Eye Hospital will help you determine the best IOL for you.
The various types of IOL include:

Cataract surgery is generally not painful because the eye is numbed with anesthesia, either in the form of eye drops or an injection. The patient may experience mild pressure or discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.
After cataract surgery, some patients may experience temporary irritation or mild soreness, which usually resolves on its own within a few days.
Most patients notice improved vision within a few days of undergoing cataract surgery, but full recovery takes about 4 to 6 weeks.
During the recovery period, it is recommended to use prescribed eye drops and follow post-operative care instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities, rubbing the eyes, or exposing the eyes to dust and bright sunlight to enable a quick recovery.
