Mumbai’s Best Eye Surgeons Providing Advanced Eye Treatments

    Cataracts are a widespread eye condition that commonly affects the elderly. The only definitive treatment for cataracts in adults is surgical lens replacement.

    Cataract surgery is generally a quick and painless procedure with a rapid recovery, involving the removal of a clouded natural lens and its replacement with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

    Surya Eye Hospital’s Bandra West center is located at a short drive from Juhu and primarily serves people residing in Western and Southern Mumbai. The hospital offers top-quality cataract surgery in Juhu area using modern eye care technology and techniques.

    What is Cataract Surgery?

    Cataract surgery is a procedure performed to remove the eye’s cloudy natural lens and restore clear vision.

    The human eye functions similarly to a camera. It uses a transparent lens made of proteins and water to focus incoming light onto the retina.

    As this lens deteriorates with age or due to other factors, it becomes yellow and cloudy, allowing less light to reach your vision and resulting in symptoms like blurred or double vision or halos around lights.

    During cataract surgery, the hazy lens is replaced with a clear artificial IOL (intraocular lens). These IOLs are available in different focusing powers and, in many cases, can also correct refractive errors such as farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism.

    Causes of Cataract

    As you grow older, generally around the age of 40, the proteins in your eye’s lens naturally begin breaking down, often leading to cataract formation. Several additional factors may increase the risk of developing cataract, including the following:

    • Serious eye injuries
    • Diabetes
    • High blood pressure
    • Family history of cataracts
    • Previous eye surgeries
    • Long-term steroid use
    • Radiation treatments
    • Lifestyle factors, including smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure without UV protection

    Symptoms of Cataract

    The common symptoms associated with cataract include:
    • Blurred, cloudy, or dimmed vision
    • Halos around lights
    • Glare or light sensitivity
    • Reduced night vision
    • Colors looking faded or yellowed
    • Double vision in one eye
    • Needing brighter light for reading or other detailed work
    • Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription

    Ideal Candidate for Cataract Surgery

    Our skilled specialists at Surya Eye Hospital conduct thorough eye health and general health evaluations to determine if cataract surgery is appropriate for you.
    You are usually considered to be a good candidate for cataract surgery if:
    • You are over 40 years old
    • You have cloudy or blurred vision
    • Symptoms are interfering with daily tasks, such as night vision loss or the need for bright lights to read

    Not all cataracts require immediate surgery. Our eye doctors at Surya Eye Hospital will thoughtfully assess and discuss whether proceeding with surgery is necessary.

    Types of Cataract Surgeries

    Common surgical methods used to treat cataracts include:

    • Phacoemulsification / no-stitch / small-incision surgery: A tiny incision is made in the eye, and ultrasound is used to break the damaged lens, which is then removed via suction.
    • Extracapsular cataract extraction: It is used for hard or dense cataracts when phacoemulsification is not safe. It involves creating a larger incision to remove the lens in one piece.
    • Bladeless / laser-assisted cataract surgery: A femtosecond laser is used to create accurate, stitch-free incisions and pre-softens the lens, enabling easier removal.

    After removing the cataract, an IOL is generally inserted into the lens capsule. Some IOLs also help correct refractive errors. A surgery performed to treat refractive errors and remove cataracts is known as refractive cataract surgery.

    What is an Intraocular Lens (IOL)?

    An IOL is a small, artificial lens that replaces your natural lens during cataract surgery. IOLs are usually made from silicone, acrylic, or plastic, and coated with a special material to protect against UV rays.

    IOLs come in various focusing powers, similar to prescription glasses or contact lenses. At Surya Eye Hospital, we perform detailed eye measurements, like corneal curvature and axial length, to determine the perfect IOL power for each individual.

    Types of Intraocular Lenses 

    Depending on your eye condition, lifestyle, and budget, our eye specialists at Surya Eye Hospital will recommend the most suitable IOL. The different types of IOLs may include:

    • Monofocal: Vision is optimized for a single distance (near or far). Eyeglasses may still be needed for other tasks.
    • Multifocal: Similar to bifocal or trifocal lenses in glasses, enabling both near and distance vision.
    • Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF): Offers an extended range of focus, usually for intermediate to distance vision.
    • Accommodative: Uses eye muscle movements to shift focus across multiple distances.
    • Toric: Corrects cataract and astigmatism simultaneously, reducing the need for glasses post-surgery.
    • Light-Adjustable Lens (LAL): A unique monofocal IOL that can be fine-tuned and adjusted post-operatively using light.

    Benefits of Cataract Surgery

    Cataract surgery offers multiple advantages, including:

    • Eliminates the cloudy natural lens
    • Sharpens and clears vision
    • High success rates
    • Better color perception
    • Improves night vision and reduces glare
    • Quick outpatient procedure
    • Minimal discomfort
    • Low risk of complications
    • Fast recovery period

    Cataract Surgery Process at Surya Eye Hospital

    Surya Eye Hospital offers the best cataract surgery in Juhu and its nearby localities using the following stepwise approach:

    Appropriate preparation ensures a smooth procedure and faster healing and may include:

    • A comprehensive pre-surgery eye exam to detect any potential complications.
    • Eye measurements to determine the right IOL power.
    • Preventive eye drop prescription is provided to avoid infection or swelling.
    • A detailed discussion about procedure, risks, benefits, and recovery.
    • Guidelines for stopping contact lens use and certain medications like blood thinners.
    • Fasting instructions are provided before surgery.
    • Make arrangements for transport home after the procedure.

    On the day of surgery:

    • Pupil dilation is done with eye drops.
    • Topical anesthesia is provided to numb the eye surface. Sedation may also be offered for comfort.
    • Incision is made with a laser or a blade. Usually, the incision does not require stitches to close.
    • Lens removal is done via phacoemulsification (ultrasound) or extracapsular cataract extraction, if needed.
    • This is followed by the insertion of the new IOL.
    • The IOLs used are usually folded for simple insertion and then unfolded into the space where the cloudy lens had rested earlier.
    • An eye patch or shield is placed over the treated eye for protection.

    The procedure is usually completed within 10 to 60 minutes per eye.

    After surgery, there is a brief observation period (15 to 30 minutes) before discharge. Temporary symptoms like blurred vision, watery eyes, eye irritation, or redness are common after surgery and resolve within a few days. Detailed post-op instructions are provided, including:

    • Use prescribed eye drops as recommended.
    • Avoid water or soap entering the eye.
    • Do not rub or press the eye.
    • Wear sunglasses outdoors and an eye shield while sleeping.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Cataract surgery is usually painless. Local anesthesia or eye drops numb the eye before the surgery, and the patient may only feel slight pressure. Any slight discomfort afterward usually subsides within a few days with proper medication and care.

    Most people return to light activities within 24 to 48 hours after cataract surgery, but strenuous tasks, heavy lifting, or swimming should be avoided for at least 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure.

    Cataracts themselves do not return, but some patients develop a cloudy membrane behind the new lens, called posterior capsule opacification (PCO), after some months or years. This condition can be easily treated with a quick laser procedure.

    Yes, cataract surgery is safe for most elderly patients, provided they are fit for minor surgery. It significantly improves quality of life by restoring clear vision, reducing fall risk, and increasing independence.

    In some cases, cataract surgery can be combined with glaucoma surgery, corneal procedures, or lens implant upgrades. Your eye surgeon will decide the combination of treatments that can be done based on your eye health and treatment goals.
