First Appointment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive eye examination. During your first visit at Drishti Eye Centre, our specialists will:
Conduct detailed vision tests and measure your eye’s health.
Evaluate the cataract type and severity.
Take measurements for the intraocular lens (IOL), which replaces your cloudy lens.
Discuss your treatment options, including traditional and laser-assisted cataract surgery.
This initial consultation ensures that we personalize the surgery to your specific needs, maximizing safety and visual outcomes.
Procedure
Cataract surgery is a safe, outpatient procedure designed to replace your clouded lens with a clear artificial lens (IOL). Here’s
what to expect:
Preparation: Your eye will be numbed with local anesthesia. You may also receive mild sedation to stay relaxed.
Lens Removal: Using advanced microsurgical techniques, the clouded natural lens is gently removed.
Lens Replacement: A premium intraocular lens is inserted to restore your clear vision.
Completion: The procedure is quick, usually taking 20–30 minutes, and most patients return home the same day.
Modern cataract surgery is painless, safe, and highly effective, with a rapid recovery timeline.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
After cataract surgery, proper care is essential for a smooth recovery:
Eye Drops: Prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drops prevent infection and control inflammation.
Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activity, rubbing your eye, or swimming for a few weeks.
Follow-Up Visits: Routine check-ups at Drishti Eye Centre monitor healing and ensure optimal vision restoration.
Vision Improvement: Many patients notice significant improvement the next day, with full visual recovery in 1–2 weeks.
With proper care, complications are rare, and most patients enjoy clear vision for years.
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
At Drishti Eye Centre, we offer Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS), a cutting-edge technique that provides:
Precision: The laser creates accurate corneal incisions and softens the cataract for easier removal.
Safety: Minimizes trauma to the eye and reduces the risk of complications.
Faster Recovery: Patients experience less swelling and quicker visual improvement.
Better Outcomes: Enhanced accuracy in lens placement improves long-term vision quality.
Laser-assisted cataract surgery is ideal for patients seeking premium outcomes, especially those with astigmatism or higher visual demands.

The cost of cataract surgery at Drishti Eye Centre depends on:

Frequently Asked Questions About Cataract Surgery

No. Local anesthesia numbs the eye, and most patients feel minimal discomfort during surgery.
2. How long does the surgery take?
The procedure typically lasts 20–30 minutes, and you can go home the same day.
3. Will I need glasses after surgery?
It depends on the type of IOL used. Many patients achieve clear vision without glasses, especially with premium lenses.
4. When can I resume daily activities?
Most patients resume normal activities in 1–2 days, avoiding strenuous activity for a few weeks.
5. Are there any risks?
Modern cataract surgery is extremely safe, but, like any procedure, there is a small risk of infection, inflammation, or lens-related issues. Regular follow-ups minimize these risks.
6. Can both eyes be operated at the same time?
Typically, one eye is treated at a time for safety and monitoring. The second eye is scheduled after the first has healed.
