Advanced Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery has undergone tremendous technological advances over recent years. Today it is easier and more precise, involves No injection,No bandage,No patching,No admission,No pain with immediate recovery of vision. 

Our goal is to provide you with options for vision to match your lifestyle, including Advanced Lifestyle Lenses designed to provide you with a full range of vision while minimizing your dependence on glasses.

What to Expect

Before advanced cataract surgery is scheduled, your surgeon will check your eyes and determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. If advanced cataract surgery is recommended, your doctor will review the different package options available and give recommendations based on your visual needs and lifestyle. At Disha Superspeciality Eye Hospital, each patient is given his or her own Vision Care Specialist that will take their unique measurements, review the procedure in great detail, and aid throughout the pre-operative process.

Cataract Surgery Step-By-Step

With modern cataract surgery, there are no injections, no stitches. You may be given mild medication to relax you, and you’ll be awake and comfortable. Recovery is quick – you may resume most activities the next day.

98% of cataract patients have improved vision after surgery!

Step One

After making a small incision in your eye, our surgeons will insert a probe to break up and remove the cloudy cataract-affected lens.

Step Two

The flexible lens implant is folded up and inserted into the remaining lens capsule. It then opens and its haptics, or “arms,” unfold to keep it in place.

Step Three

With the cataract removed, and the new lens in place, light can once again travel unimpeded to the back of your eye, for clearer vision.

Advanced Lifestyle Lenses

With advancements in technology, there are now many options available to renew your vision. Today’s cataract surgery has the potential to not only eliminate your cataracts, but also allow you to regain your youthful lifestyle.

Recovery After Advanced Cataract Surgery

After surgery, you’ll be prescribed eye drops that guard against infection and aid in the healing process. It is very important to follow the eye drop schedule given by your surgeon and Vision Care Specialist. Avoid rubbing your eyes, lifting heavy objects, and swimming for the first two weeks following surgery. Every patient will go through a series of post-op visits for several weeks following advanced cataract surgery to make sure the eye is healing properly.

Recovery time after surgery is generally quick and usually occurs within a few days. Most patients notice better vision soon after surgery and continue to see improvement in their vision over the following weeks.
