What is Cataract Surgery?

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.

When is Cataract Surgery Needed?

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.

Types of Cataract Surgery in India

At MedEase, we offer the most advanced and customized cataract procedures to suit each patient’s condition and eye health:

1. Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery)
  • Most common method.

  • Uses ultrasound to break and remove the cloudy lens.

  • A small incision and fast recovery.

2. Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS)
  • Bladeless, high-precision surgery.

  • Reduces human error.

  • Ideal for patients seeking advanced outcomes.

3. Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE)
  • Recommended for advanced cataracts.

  • Involves a larger incision to remove the entire lens.

  • Slower recovery.

4. Intracapsular Cataract Extraction (ICCE)
  • Outdated method.

  • Entire lens and capsule removed.

  • Used in rare, complex cases only.

Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

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

How is Cataract Surgery Performed?

Cataract surgery is a day-care procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day.

Procedure steps:

  1. Local anesthesia or numbing eye drops

  2. Small corneal incision

  3. Lens fragmentation and removal

  4. IOL placement

  5. Protective shield placement

Duration: 15 to 30 minutes
Hospital stay: Not required
