Regain Clear Vision with Safe & Effective Cataract Surgery
At Arunodaya Netralaya, we specialise in providing painless, quick, and precise cataract surgery to help you regain your confidence and quality of life. Our experienced ophthalmologists use latest phacoemulsification techniques and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) for the best outcomes.
A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy due to protein buildup, usually caused by aging, but can also result from injury, diabetes, long-term steroid use, or exposure to ultraviolet light. This cloudiness blocks light from properly reaching the retina, leading to a gradual loss of vision.
Symptoms of Cataract
- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Seeing halos around lights
- Fading or yellowing of colours
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
Cataract Surgery Procedure
- Pre-operative evaluation: Complete eye check-up and measurements.
- Surgery: Removal of the cloudy lens using phacoemulsification (micro-incision, stitchless technique) and implantation of a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
- Post-operative care: You can go home the same day with prescribed eye drops and follow-up visits to ensure perfect recovery.
Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) Available
- Monofocal IOLs: For clear distance vision
- Multifocal IOLs: For distance and near vision without glasses
- Toric IOLs: To correct astigmatism along with cataract
- Premium lenses: For sharper and better visual outcomes
Benefits of Cataract Surgery
- Restores clear vision – Removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens (IOL).
- Improves quality of life – Enhances your ability to perform routine tasks independently.
- Reduces dependency on glasses – Especially with advanced IOL options (multifocal or toric lenses).
- Quick recovery – Most people return to normal activities within a few days.
- Safe and effective – Modern phacoemulsification techniques ensure minimal discomfort with high success rates.
Prevention of Cataract Progression
While cataracts cannot always be prevented, these steps help delay their progression:
✔️ Protect your eyes from UV rays by wearing sunglasses.
✔️ Control health conditions like diabetes.
✔️ Maintain a healthy diet rich in antioxidants (Vitamin C & E).
✔️ Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
✔️ Go for regular eye check-ups to detect early changes.
