What is Cataract Surgery?

Cataract Specialist

Cataract surgery is a standard medical procedure used to restore vision in individuals who have developed cataracts. Cataracts can cause a clouding effect on the lens of the eye, which can significantly impact vision. The surgery is highly successful and is designed to remove the cataract through a micro-incision and replace it with an artificial acrylic lens.

The procedure usually takes less than an hour and is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The surgery itself lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This means the patient can go home on the same day as the procedure.

After the surgery, most patients may be able to see clearly without needing glasses or contact lenses. However, some patients may still require reading glasses.

Recovery time varies, but many people notice improved vision within a few days after the surgery.

Our Cataract Surgery Process

Your Journey to Clear Vision

Initial consultation

Before surgery, a thorough eye health examination is conducted to determine the patient’s eligibility for the procedure.

Pre-surgical assessment

Accurate measurements determine the required focusing power for the intraocular lens (IOL) that replaces the cloudy lens.

The Surgery

Lens Removal

A small cut is made in the eye using a blade to access the lens.The cloudy lens is broken up using ultrasound waves in a process called phacoemulsification. The fragments are then removed.

IOL Implantation

A clear artificial lens is inserted into the eye. Different types of IOLs cater to various patient needs, such as monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses.

What to Expect After Surgery

Post-Surgery Care and Vision Restoration

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, your vision may be blurry initially, and you might experience light sensitivity.

Eye drops or medications will be prescribed to prevent infection and control inflammation.

Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor healing and for any adjustments in eyeglass prescriptions.

Recovery time can vary, with many patients returning to normal activities within a few days, although it may take several weeks for complete recovery​​​.

Cataract surgery has a high success rate, with most patients experiencing significantly improved vision. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, such as infection or inflammation, which are generally manageable​.

I am so grateful to God for Dr Bawa and his team. They are so kind. I am amazed at how quickly everything went after hearing bad news all the time from other hospitals about being put on a 2 year waiting list. The cataract developed over my right eye. I was falling in the street and breaking my dishes. But now, thanks to Dr Bawa and his team: The removal of the cataract and lens implant has me singing: I can see clearly now, the rain is gone! May God bless you abundantly and enlarge your territory 🙏🤗

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone!
