Advanced Cataract Surgery in Kharghar
A cataract is the gradual clouding of the eye's natural lens, which acts like a window. As the proteins in the lens clump together over time, the lens loses its transparency, resulting in blurred, hazy, or glare-sensitive vision. It is the most common cause of vision loss in older adults.
At Utsav Eye Clinic, we utilize the latest **Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS)** via phacoemulsification. Through an incision of less than 2.2mm, we break down and vacuum the cloudy lens using ultrasound waves and replace it with a foldable Intraocular Lens (IOL). This micro-approach ensures rapid recovery, excellent visual outcomes, and requires no stitches or bandages.
Monofocal vs. Multifocal Lenses
Replacing the cloudy lens with an artificial IOL is a permanent solution. We offer premium lenses tailored to your lifestyle:
-
👓
Monofocal Lenses:
These lenses focus light at one distance (usually far away). While they provide excellent, high-contrast vision for driving or watching TV, you will still need reading glasses for close-up tasks like using a smartphone or reading books.
-
👓
Multifocal / Premium Lenses:
Designed with multiple focal zones, these premium lenses allow you to see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances. They drastically reduce or entirely eliminate the need for glasses, though some patients may experience mild glare or halos around lights at night initially.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the cataract have to be mature/ripe before surgery?
No. With modern phacoemulsification, we do not have to wait for the cataract to ripen. Surgery is recommended as soon as vision loss begins to interfere with your daily activities like reading, driving, or working.
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use local numbing drops or a gentle local block, so you feel completely comfortable. It is performed as a daycare procedure, and you go home on the same day.
