Treatment
Diagnosis
Generally, the cataract is self-diagnosable. You can clearly feel it because of a thin powdery film of cloudiness in your vision. However, to precisely understand its stage, type, and severity, your doctor may perform the following three tests:
Treatment
Eye surgeries always first begin with topical anesthesia to numb your eyes and cancel pain. Then, as the procedure starts, your doctor makes an incision in the eye to remove the damaged or clouded lens. Then your surgeon replaces your natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens inside the eye. If needed, incisions may be used to close the cornea.
The same procedure can be done using different techniques. But what is better for you is decided only after a thorough eye diagnosis and the test results.
At Pristyn Care, Patna, we treat Cataract through two methodologies- Microincision Cataract Surgery (MICS) and Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)
Both are two of the most advanced technologies to ensure the best results with minimal complications and the quickest recovery.

No. No medicine/ home remedy can cure cataracts except surgery.
MICS is an advanced ophthalmology treatment technique for cataracts. This involves the removal of the entire lens. Here, the doctor makes a self-sealing scleral tunnel wound to carry out the procedure. The method is safe, one of the most advanced, and the incision made is very small. This is also the reason why the method offers one of the fastest recoveries.
FLACS is an advanced technique to perform cataract surgery through laser. Here the laser is used to make an incision as well as to remove the clouded lens. The surgery is one of the safest and most precise techniques to treat cataracts.
Yes, since the cataract involves the change of lenses, it cures refractive errors of all kinds including- myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. More than 90% of patients who underwent Cataract surgery reported 20/20 vision post-surgery.
Typically, a cataract procedure is a less than 10-minute procedure. However, counting the surgery preparation time, some basic tests, usual waiting time after eye drops, the procedure itself, and a little rest, you may take a little over 3-4 hours.
Typically, a cataract is a daycare surgery, where you admit and leave the hospital on the same day.
No. There is no other treatment method available for cataracts. It is an irreversible process that cannot be solved with the help of medications. Thus, you will need surgical treatment to cure cataracts permanently.
No. Cataract surgery is not painful at all, thanks to the numbing eye drops that are used before the procedure. You won’t feel any kind of sensations until the effects of these drops wear off after a few hours and the surgery will be completed.

An ophthalmologist is the right type of doctor you should consult for cataract treatment. They are the specialists who are well-versed in diagnosing and treating all eye-related conditions. An optometrist can only diagnose the condition and prescribe some medications that will help to slow the progression of the disease. But to cure cataracts, only ophthalmologists are certified to perform surgery.
The overall cost of the cataract operation in Patna is between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 35,000 for one eye. It varies from one patient to another because of the following factors:
The type and severity of the cataract
The final cost of treatment is calculated after accounting for all these factors.
Yes. Cataract surgery in Patna is covered under health insurance plans. It is a procedure that is medically necessary to prevent permanent blindness. You only need to find out whether you have enough coverage to cover the entire cost of treatment or not.
No. Pristyn Care has its own clinics and partnered hospitals in Patna to provide cataract treatment to the patients. We have medical centers that have state-of-the-art facilities, USFDA-approved diagnostic and surgical tools, and top-grade amenities.
An immature cataract is a cataract that is incomplete, i.e., the clouding on the lens is not complete yet and the cortex is also clear. A mature cataract is one that is completely opaque. It is also known as a white cataract.
Yes. It is normal for the eye to appear red after cataract surgery. You may also feel other symptoms like grittiness or itchiness in the eye with some fluid discharge. These are common symptoms that will go away on their own as your eyes heal after the surgery.
It cannot be said clearly which lens will be better for a specific person as every eye is different. In some people, Indian cataract lenses may be more suitable whereas, in others, imported cataract lenses may be the ideal choice. Your doctor will help you to understand the differences between Indian and imported lenses so that you can determine which lens is best for you.
A presenile cataract is the one in which the opacification of the lens or capsule occurs before the age of 40 years and all the known causes of cataracts have been ruled out.
Diabetes is known to cause cataracts and other eye problems as well. Unchecked diabetes elevates the glucose levels in the body, including the glucose present in the aqueous humor and the lens. The lens has an enzyme that automatically converts glucose to sorbitol which can build up in the lens over time, making it opaque.
Normally, the doctor will advise you to avoid cooking for at least one week after having cataract surgery. Your eyes will be more sensitive after the procedure. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid all activities that can cause stress on the eyes.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery is done for correction of refractive errors and cataract surgery is done to treat cataracts, i.e., cloudiness of the natural eye lens. While ICL surgery involves implanting a lens to bend the light correctly on the retina to clear the vision, cataract surgery involves replacing the natural eye lens with an artificial lens. To learn more about the clear differences between these two procedures, it will be better to talk to a professional.
After cataract surgery, you should avoid eating the following foods as they are associated with poor eye health:
There are several homeopathic medicines available that can help to manage cataracts. However, you should know that these medicines can’t cure cataracts. These medicines are:
Before trying out these medicines, make sure that you consult your eye doctor.
Currently, there is no good evidence that proves that ayurvedic treatment is effective in treating cataracts. Many people have tried ayurvedic medicine with positive results while others didn’t get any. Therefore, the best thing to do is to consult an eye specialist and get their opinion to treat cataracts.
Choosing the right intraocular lens (IOLs) for your cataract surgery is extremely important. Typically, the lenses used for cataracts are- posterior chamber lenses (PCIOL). After extraction of your natural lenses, your eye doctor places these on the residual posterior capsule. (which is also the original position of your lens.)
PCIOLs are generally divided into 4 types:
Which lens is better for you depends directly on your needs, personal choice, and financial budget. You could discuss the same with our ophthalmologists to have a clearer idea and decide better.
The preparation for cataract surgeries is simple. Your doctor would require you to:
While you will be able to retrieve more than 90% of your vision on the same day, a complete recovery may take a little over or around a month. For the first week, you would be given an eyeglass or an eye shield to protect your eyes from any damage or external pressure.
During this time, we advise the following precautions:

All types of cataract surgery involve the replacement of the natural lens with an artificial implant, which is known as an intraocular lens (IOL). In Patna and every other city across India, the following techniques are available to perform cataract operations:
Out of all these types of cataract surgery, each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Not to mention that each technique has some side effects and chances of complications. Therefore, when you consult a cataract doctor, he/she diagnoses the condition thoroughly and then suggests the appropriate technique which is safe for the patient.
The best thing about cataract surgery is that once the lens is replaced, the results are permanent. And there are different types of lenses for cataract surgery, each of which has unique benefits. These lenses are widely known as intraocular lenses and are classified into the following types:
The doctor does an accurate diagnosis to determine the appropriate power of the IOL and provide desired results to the patient in terms of refractive outcomes after the surgery. You will have a detailed discussion with the doctor about these types of lenses for cataract surgery before proceeding with the treatment. The specialist will also provide you with information about the best cataract lens brands in India, such as Bausch & Lomb, Freshlook, Acuvue, Alcon, Johnson & Johnson, Zeiss, etc. to make the decision.
Many people don’t realize this, but post-surgery care after cataract surgery plays a major role in determining how long you will need to recover. While you are being discharged from the hospital, the doctor will provide you with a guide that consists of all the dos and don’ts after cataract surgery.
