Cataract Services

What is Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend's face.

Normal Vision vs Cataract Vision

Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with cataracts. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery.

Phacoemulsification Microincision Conventional vs Phacoemulsification

Phacoemulsification with Microincision

We use the latest phacoemulsification technique, which allows for smaller incisions and faster healing. This advanced method breaks up the cloudy lens using ultrasound waves and removes it through a tiny incision.

Benefits of Microincision Surgery:

  • Minimal tissue trauma
  • Faster recovery time
  • Reduced risk of complications
  • Better visual outcomes
  • No sutures required in most cases

Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

We offer a comprehensive range of premium intraocular lenses to suit your lifestyle and visual needs:

Different IOL Options

Monofocal IOLs

Provides excellent vision at one distance (usually far). Most common and covered by insurance. May need reading glasses.

Multifocal / Trifocal IOLs

Distance, intermediate and near focus.Reduces dependence on glasses. Great for active lifestyles.

Toric IOLs

Corrects astigmatism along with cataract. Provides crisp, clear vision at distance. Premium option for astigmatic patients.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cataract Surgery

Is cataract surgery painful?

No, cataract surgery is not painful. The procedure is performed under Tropical anesthesia . You will be awake but completely comfortable. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure during the surgery, but no pain. After surgery, mild discomfort or grittiness is normal and easily managed with prescribed eye drops.

How long does cataract surgery take?

The actual surgery typically takes only 5-10 minutes per eye. However, you should plan to be at the hospital for 2-3 hours to allow time for pre-operative preparation and post-operative recovery observation.

When can I return to normal activities after cataract surgery?

Most patients can resume normal daily activities within 24 hours. However, you should avoid:

  • Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 1 weeks
  • Swimming and hot tubs for 2 weeks
  • Rubbing your eyes for 1 week
  • Driving until cleared by your doctor

Always follow your surgeon's specific instructions for best results.

Will I need glasses after cataract surgery?

This depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) you choose:

  • Monofocal IOLs: You will likely need reading glasses for near vision
  • EDOF IOLs: 70-80% of patients are glasses-free for most activities
  • Multifocal / Trifocal: Usually no needed
  • Toric IOLs: Corrects astigmatism; may still need reading glasses

Your surgeon will discuss the best IOL option for your lifestyle during consultation.

Can cataracts come back after surgery?

No, cataracts cannot come back because the natural lens has been removed. However, some patients (10-20%) may develop a condition called "posterior capsule opacification" (PCO) months or years after surgery. This is sometimes called a "secondary cataract." It can be easily treated with a quick, painless laser procedure (YAG capsulotomy) in the office, restoring clear vision immediately.

What is the success rate of cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery has a success rate of over 99% and is one of the safest and most effective surgeries performed today. At Brar Eye Hospital, we have performed over 50,000 successful cataract surgeries with excellent visual outcomes and patient satisfaction.
