Advance Cataract Surgery

Cataract is the clouding of the crystalline lens and typically occurs because of ageing, although other reasons may be prolonged use of steroids, exposure to Ultra violet rays and associated health problems like diabetes and eye injuries.

At Aarav Eye Care and Retina Centre phaco-emulsification is performed (no stitches) and a foldable lens is implanted.

There are multiple IOL choices available for the surgery, which are explained below

• Regular IOLs / Monofocal: These IOLs provide clear vision for distance and requires glasses for near work (reading glasses).
• Multifocal IOLs: These IOLs provide clear vision for all distances hence almost 90% of the day-to-day activities can be performed without any need for additional glasses.
• Toric IOLs: These IOLs correct the pre-existing corneal astigmatism there by reducing the possibility of spectacle wear for distance vision post operatively.
• EDOF IOL: These IOLs allows one to focus at all ranges with almost nil glare and halo at night ideal for those who drive at night.
