Cataract surgery is a safe and highly effective procedure to remove the clouded lens of the eye, known as a cataract, and replace it with a clear artificial lens (IOL – Intraocular Lens). This restores sharp vision and improves the patient’s overall quality of life.
At MedEase Health, we specialize in modern, minimally invasive cataract surgery in India using USFDA-approved techniques, ensuring fast healing, fewer complications, and high patient satisfaction.
Cataracts are a common age-related condition where the lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision. Cataract surgery is advised when this condition begins interfering with daily life.
Common signs include:
Blurred, dim, or double vision
Glare and light sensitivity
Poor night vision
Fading or yellowing of colors
Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
Difficulty reading, driving, or recognizing faces
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, consult our experts for a free cataract screening.
At MedEase, we offer the most advanced and customized cataract procedures to suit each patient’s condition and eye health:

Based on your vision needs, lifestyle, and budget, our ophthalmologists may recommend:
Monofocal IOLs – Focuses on one distance (usually far vision)
Multifocal IOLs – Enables both near and far vision, reducing the need for glasses
Toric IOLs – Corrects astigmatism
Accommodative IOLs – Shifts focus similar to the natural lens
Cataract surgery is a day-care procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day.
Procedure steps:
Local anesthesia or numbing eye drops
Small corneal incision
Lens fragmentation and removal
IOL placement
Protective shield placement
Duration: 15 to 30 minutes
Hospital stay: Not required
