About Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure performed to remove a cloudy natural lens that causes blurred or impaired vision. It is typically recommended when cataracts begin to affect daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces. The procedure is usually completed as a daycare treatment, allowing patients to return home the same day. With modern surgical techniques, cataract surgery offers high success rates, improved visual clarity, faster recovery, and a significant improvement in overall quality of life.

Diagnosis & Treatment

Types of Cataract Surgery

The different types of cataract surgery are explained below-

  • Phacoemulsification – This technique involves using an ultrasound probe to break or emulsify the clouded part of the lens. Tiny incisions are made in the cornea to access the lens, and the probe is inserted into the eye to remove the cataract.
  • Extracapsular Cataract Extraction – In this technique, most of the clouded lens is extracted except for the elastic lens capsule. It is left in place to implant the artificial lens. The incision made in the cornea or sclera in this technique is around 10-12 mm.
  • Intracapsular Cataract Extraction – This technique involves making a large incision in the eye to remove the entire lens and its capsule. After cataract removal, the anterior chamber lens is implanted in the eye with the help of sutures.
  • Microincision Cataract Surgery – This minimally invasive technique is performed by making an incision of 1.8 mm in the eye. A self-healing scleral tunnel wound is created to remove the cloudy lens.
  • Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery – It is the most popular and minimally invasive technique of cataract removal. The surgery involves using a femtosecond laser to make the incision and remove the cloudy part of the lens.

The most suitable technique for cataract removal is chosen after diagnosing the patient’s condition. At Pristyn Care, we leverage all these techniques depending on the patient’s condition.

How Does Cataract Surgery Benefit Your Eyes?

Cataract surgery significantly benefits your eyes by restoring clear vision and improving overall eye health. The procedure involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This replacement helps eliminate the blurriness, glare, and halos associated with cataracts, allowing for sharp and focused vision.

Improved vision from cataract surgery enhances your ability to perform daily activities, such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces, leading to a better quality of life. It also reduces the risk of accidents and falls, particularly in older adults, by improving depth perception and contrast sensitivity.

In addition to visual clarity, cataract surgery can also help manage other eye conditions. for instance, certain IOLs can correct pre-existing refractive errors like astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness, potentially reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses. The surgery can also provide an opportunity for the ophthalmologist to address other eye issues, such as glaucoma, during the same procedure.

How to choose the best lens for cataract surgery?

The best lens for cataract surgery will depend on the patient’s vision and refractive errors that need to be corrected. While monofocal lenses are the ones that are most commonly used, some patients may benefit from other types of lenses. So, while you are choosing the lens, consider the following factors-

  • The cost of the standard and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs).
  • Average time the eye would take to adapt to the new lens.
  • The daily vision needs of the patient.
  • Whether the patient is willing to use eyeglasses after surgery.

Talk to your eye doctor and discuss which type of lens can give you more realistic results in terms of vision improvement. You can book a quick consultation with Pristyn Care doctors to get advanced cataract surgery in Bangalore.

Before & After Cataract Surgery

The vision quality improvement after cataract surgery is subjective to the patient’s eye health. Generally, cataract surgery outcomes are focused on the visual acuity and refractive status of the patient after the treatment.

Typically, the vision restoration is the same as before the cataract started developing in the eye. If you had refractive errors before cataract development, the vision would still be blurry. However, if you choose to get premium cataract lenses that address refractive errors, you will notice a major improvement in your vision quality.

How to prepare for Cataract Surgery?

The cataract doctor will guide you at every step during the cataract treatment. The doctor will explain what the surgery entails during the initial consultation and prepare you mentally. Other preparations that are generally done before cataract surgery involve the following-

  • Getting the eyes tested thoroughly to identify other eye disorders.
  • Determining which type of intraocular lens is appropriate for your eyes.
  • Using eye drops and other medications prescribed by the doctor.
  • Avoid smoking and drinking completely at least a week before cataract surgery.

On the day of surgery, the doctor may also ask you to avoid eating and drinking anything 6-8 hours prior to the surgery.

How to prevent cataracts?

There are no studies that help to prevent cataracts. However, doctors usually suggest some things that make it possible to detect cataracts at an early stage and improve overall eye health. These things include-

  • Having a regular eye examination to detect cataracts and other problems at early stages.
  • Quit smoking entirely as it affects the eyes, especially the optic nerve.
  • Manage the conditions that can lead to cataracts, such as diabetes.
  • Take a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables to improve overall eye health.
  • Wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

What is the cataract grading system?

The cataract grading system is the metric used to determine the severity of the condition. for each type of cataract, the grading system is slightly different.

  • For a nuclear cataract, there are four grades, i.e., mild, moderate, pronounced, and severe. It is divided based on the extent to which the vision is affected.
  • A cortical cataract is graded on the basis of the obscured intrapupillary space. Its grades are- Grade 1 (10% coverage), Grade 2 (10-50% coverage), Grade 3 (50-90% coverage), and Grade 4 (more than 90% coverage).
  • The posterior subcapsular cataract is graded by the degree of the obscured posterior capsule. The grades are- Grade 1 (3% coverage), Grade 2 (30% coverage), Grade 3 (50% coverage), and Grade 4 (more than 50% coverage).

Dos and Don’ts After Cataract Surgery

During the recovery period, the patient is instructed to follow some tips that are essential to ensure a faster and smoother recovery. So, here are some dos and don’ts that you should follow after cataract surgery.

Dos

  • Use the prescribed eye drops as directed.
  • Take proper rest for the first 2-3 days.
  • Wear the protective eye shield while sleeping for at least a week.
  • Start driving only after the doctor gives you permission.
  • Resume activities like watching TV, laptop, or other digital screens after 2-4 days.
  • Clean your eyes with warm water using cotton until you are allowed to wash your eyes normally.
  • Wear sunglasses while going out to prevent direct sunlight from entering the eyes.

Don’ts

  • Do not rub your eyes until they heal completely.
  • Avoid using soap, shampoo, hair products, makeup, and other chemical products that can irritate the eyes.
  • Do not exercise or perform any house chores until you recover.
  • Avoid taking a shower, swimming, or bathing in hot tubs for the first 2 weeks.
  • Do not wash your eyes or strain them in any way.

What are the common cataract surgery complications?

Some common cataract surgery complications include-

  • Eye infection
  • Inflammation
  • Floaters
  • Light sensitivity, etc.

Other than these, other more serious complications can also arise if the patient fails to care for the eyes. The serious complications include-

  • Increased eye pressure (glaucoma)
  • Lens dislocation
  • Secondary cataract (posterior capsular opacification)
  • Macular edema
  • Retinal detachment, etc.

Cataract Treatment Without Surgery- Possible or Not?

There are many misconceptions about cataract treatment. The most common is that cataracts can be treated or managed with eye drops. However, the eye drops available at pharmacies and medical centers are not effective in managing cataract symptoms or reversing the condition. The only cure for cataracts is surgery.

Generally, doctors suggest that maintaining a healthy lifestyle and taking good care of the eyes can slow the progression of cataracts. However, there is no evidence that proves this theory. The right approach for cataract treatment is looking out for problematic symptoms and undergoing cataract surgery at the right time. Typically, eye specialists recommend cataract surgery before the condition reaches the hypermature stage.

Why should I choose Pristyn Care to undergo cataract surgery?

Pristyn Care simplifies the surgical journey of the patient and provides comprehensive care from the start to the end. In addition, we provide services that are beneficial for the patients, including-

  • Advanced technique for cataract treatment
  • Best hospitals for cataract surgery in Bangalore
  • Pick and drop service on the day of surgery
  • All insurance covered with assistance

Can I watch TV after my cataract surgery?

After the cataract surgery, you can watch TV right away. However, things may look blurry at first but cloudy vision subsides soon. It may take 1 to 3 days for most people to return to work or a normal lifestyle with certain precautions and eyeglasses, especially for reading. Contact your cataract surgeon in case you experience any difficulty or strain in the eyes after your surgery.

What is the difference between a mature and immature cataract?

A mature cataract is denser than an immature cataract. The symptoms involve blurry vision, double vision, glares, and halos around the light sources. An immature cataract only causes minor vision problems and doesnt affect the quality of the life of the individual. Mature cataract symptoms are much worse and very likely to affect the individual’s quality of life. Even reading becomes difficult when the cataract matures. Cataract surgery is usually recommended at this stage.

How Do I Know if I Need a Cataract Surgery in Bangalore?

After a thorough and comprehensive eye evaluation, Cataract surgeons at Pristyn Care come into the play. Doctors will discuss with you the diagnosis of cataract because this will help them to judge for glasses or surgery. In the absence of any eye disease that may affect your vision, the eye surgeon will discuss with you the possibility of cataract surgery in Bangalore, and its available techniques.

Cataract Surgeon in Bangalore - FAQs

How much does cataract surgery cost in Bangalore?

The cost of cataract surgery in Bangalore generally ranges between ₹20,000 and ₹70,000 per eye, depending on the surgical technique, hospital, surgeon’s expertise, and the intraocular lens (IOL) selected. Premium lenses such as multifocal or toric lenses usually cost more than standard monofocal lenses. Insurance may reduce your out-of-pocket expenses if your policy covers cataract surgery.

Which cataract lens is best: Monofocal, Multifocal or Toric?

The best lens depends on your vision needs. Monofocal lenses provide excellent distance vision but usually require reading glasses. Multifocal lenses reduce dependence on glasses for both near and distance vision. Toric lenses are recommended for people with astigmatism, while trifocal lenses offer clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. Your ophthalmologist will recommend the most suitable option after a detailed eye examination.

How long does cataract surgery take?

Cataract surgery usually takes 15 to 30 minutes for one eye. Including admission, preparation, and post operative observation, patients generally spend 2 to 4 hours at the hospital and return home the same day.

How many days does it take to recover after cataract surgery?

Most patients notice improved vision within 24 to 48 hours. Complete healing generally takes 4 to 6 weeks, although normal daily activities can usually be resumed within a few days after the surgeon’s approval.

Can I use a mobile phone or watch TV after cataract surgery?

Yes. You can usually watch television or use a mobile phone within 24 to 48 hours, provided your eyes feel comfortable. It is advisable to take frequent breaks, avoid prolonged screen exposure, and use prescribed eye drops regularly.

Is cataract surgery painful?

No. Cataract surgery is performed under local anaesthesia using numbing eye drops, making the procedure virtually painless. Some patients may experience mild pressure during surgery and slight irritation for a day or two afterward.

Can cataracts come back after surgery?

No. Once the cloudy natural lens is removed, cataracts cannot return. However, some patients may develop posterior capsule opacification (secondary cataract) months or years later, which can be treated quickly with a painless YAG laser procedure.

What are the early symptoms of cataracts?

Early symptoms include blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, glare from headlights, faded colours, double vision in one eye, and frequent changes in eyeglass prescription. If these symptoms interfere with daily activities, consult an eye specialist.

Is laser cataract surgery better than traditional cataract surgery?

Laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) offers greater precision in selected cases, while conventional phacoemulsification also provides excellent outcomes with high success rates. The best technique depends on your eye condition, cataract severity, and your surgeon’s recommendation.

At what age is cataract surgery usually needed?

Most people undergo cataract surgery after the age of 60, but cataracts can also develop earlier due to diabetes, eye injuries, long term steroid use, or genetic factors. Surgery is recommended based on vision impairment rather than age alone.
