Mumbai’s Best Eye Surgeons Providing Advanced Eye Treatments

Patient Testimonials

Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision impairment, especially in individuals above the age of 50.

The only effective treatment for cataracts in adults is cataract surgery, where the eye’s cloudy natural lens is replaced with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This safe, advanced procedure is minimally invasive, ensures a quick recovery, and restores sharp, bright vision.

Surya Eye Hospital’s Bandra West Branch, conveniently accessible from Lower Parel, is recognized for its excellence in cataract care.

With access to expert eye surgeons and the latest technology, it is among the top choices for cataract surgery in Lower Parel and surrounding areas.

What is Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery is a highly reliable surgical procedure designed to restore clear eyesight. In this surgery, the eye’s clouded natural lens is gently removed and replaced using an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

The natural lens of the eye works like a camera, helping focus light onto the retina. With age, eye conditions, or other environmental factors, this lens may become cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and difficulty seeing in low light.

Advanced IOLs not only restore vision but may also correct pre-existing refractive errors, such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and blurred vision (astigmatism).

Causes and Risk Factors for Cataracts

Although cataracts are mostly age-related and commonly occur in individuals above the age of 40, many factors can contribute to their early onset. Some common causes and risk factors for cataracts include:

Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight without UV protection
Diabetes or uncontrolled blood sugar levels
Hypertension and cardiovascular issues
Long-term use of steroids or other medications
Previous eye trauma or surgery
Smoking and alcohol consumption
Family history of cataracts
Radiation exposure
Nutritional deficiencies over the years

Symptoms of Cataracts

Cataracts generally develop slowly, and symptoms may differ for each patient. The most frequently occurring cataract symptoms include:

Cloudy or blurred vision
Colors appearing dull or faded
Halos around bright lights
Increased glare, especially while driving at night
Need for frequent changes in prescription glasses
Sensitivity to sunlight or indoor lights
Difficulty reading in dim light
Double vision in one eye
Requirement of brighter light for detailed work

Right Candidate for Cataract Surgery

At Surya Eye Hospital, every patient is carefully evaluated by our skilled eye doctors before cataract surgery is advised. You may be considered a suitable candidate for cataract surgery if:

You are over 40 years old and in good health
Your vision is blurred, and it affects your daily activities
Problems in seeing at night, glare, or halos interfere with your safety
Vision problems lower your quality of life

If the cataract is still mild and not significantly affecting vision, eye doctors may suggest routine monitoring until surgery is absolutely necessary.

Types of Cataract Surgeries

Surya Eye Hospital offers advanced cataract treatment in Lower Parel region with multiple surgical options to meet patient’s individual needs. The various cataract surgery techniques offered include:

Laser-assisted (bladeless) cataract surgery: Uses femtosecond laser technology for making bladeless incisions, lens softening, and precise removal of the natural eye lens.
Phacoemulsification (small-incision or no-stitch surgery): Uses ultrasound to break up the lens, which is then removed through a small incision. This incision generally does not require any stitches to close it.
Extracapsular cataract extraction: Involves a larger incision to remove the natural cloudy eye lens and is usually reserved for very advanced or dense cataracts.

In all cases, the natural cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial IOL to restore clarity of vision. Sometimes, a procedure known as refractive cataract surgery is performed, which involves the correction of the cataracts along with existing refractive errors.

What is an IOL/Intraocular Lens?

An intraocular lens or IOL is an artificial lens placed in the eye during cataract surgery to replace the cloudy natural lens. These lenses are made from durable materials such as acrylic, silicone, or plastic and often come with a UV protective coating.

Like prescription glasses and contact lenses, IOLs come in different powers tailored to the patient’s visual needs. At Surya Eye Hospital, advanced diagnostic tools are used to select the ideal IOL for each individual, ensuring long-lasting visual clarity and comfort.

Types of IOLs/Intraocular Lenses

Surya Eye Hospital offers several IOL options depending on your lifestyle, vision requirements, and budget. These options include:

Monofocal lenses: Provide clear vision at one distance, usually for far sight. Glasses may, however, be required for reading.
Multifocal lenses: Correct both near and far vision simultaneously.
Accommodative lenses: Work with eye muscles to adjust the focus naturally.
Toric lenses: Correct astigmatism or blurred vision along with cataracts.
Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF) lenses: Offer clear intermediate and distant vision.
Light-Adjustable Lenses (LAL): A monofocal lens that can be fine-tuned after surgery for highly personalized outcomes.

Procedure for Cataract Surgery at Surya Eye Hospital

At Surya Eye Hospital, safe and result-oriented cataract surgeries in Lower Parel area are offered using a stepwise treatment approach, which includes the following steps:

Preparatory Steps

You can expect the following before cataract surgery:

Our eye doctor offers a comprehensive eye examination and health assessment.
Precise eye measurements are made for accurate IOL selection.
Our doctor explains the surgical options, lens types, potential risks, and benefits of cataract surgery.
Pre-surgery eye drops are prescribed to lower infection risks.
Guidance is provided on fasting, if needed, before surgery.
You may be asked to temporarily stop certain medications, such as blood thinners.
You will be asked to make arrangements for someone to take you home after cataract surgery.

Surgery Process

The process of cataract surgery takes about 10 to 60 minutes for each eye. The steps involved are:

The eye’s pupil is first dilated with medicated eye drops.
Topical anesthesia or numbing eye drops are administered by the eye doctor.
A small incision is made by the eye surgeon either by a blade or a laser.
The cloudy lens is removed through phacoemulsification or other techniques.
This is followed by the insertion of the chosen IOL into the eye. The IOL is in a folded form for easy insertion. This IOL unfolds once it is in its desired position.
A protective eye shield or eye patch is applied post-surgery on the eye.

Recovery and After-Care

The following can be expected in the recovery period following cataract surgery:

There will be a short observation period of around 15 to 30 minutes before you are discharged.
You may experience mild irritation, redness, or watering of the eyes after the procedure.
Regular use of prescribed eye drops is suggested.
Avoid swimming, heavy lifting, or rubbing your eyes during your recovery period.
Wear protective sunglasses when going outdoors and an eye shield while sleeping.
Attend the scheduled follow-up visits to track healing and minimize the risk of complications.

Temporary blurred vision
Mild eye discomfort
Redness or swelling
Glare or halos around lights
Eye infection (rare)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long will the results of cataract surgery last?

Cataract surgery results are permanent because the cloudy natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens that never develops cataracts again. However, in some cases, a secondary membrane may cloud over time and require a simple laser treatment.

Is hospitalization required for cataract surgery?

No, cataract surgery is usually performed as a day-care procedure. The patient is discharged a few hours after surgery and can return home the same day with protective eyewear, prescribed eye drops, and detailed aftercare instructions from the surgeon.

What is the right age to undergo cataract surgery?

There is no fixed age for cataract surgery. The surgery is generally recommended depending on the severity of vision impairment present due to a cataract. While most patients who undergo cataract surgery are above the age of 50, younger individuals may also require surgery if cataracts significantly interfere with their daily life and activities.

Will cataract surgery lead to pain?

Cataract surgery is not painful because it is performed under topical anesthesia or eye drops that numb the eye. The patient may feel slight pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure, but no sharp pain is experienced.

Is cataract surgery covered by health insurance?

Yes, most health insurance policies in India cover cataract surgery, either fully or partially. The exact coverage depends on the insurance plan, type of lens chosen, and hospital facilities. It is recommended to discuss with your insurance provider and the eye hospital about your insurance coverage before undergoing surgery.
