At Rajan Eye Care Hospital, we provide advanced cataract treatment and surgery to restore clear vision. Using state-of-the-art technology, our team offers safe, effective solutions for all types of cataracts, with personalized care from consultation through recovery.
Cataracts are a very common eye condition. Cataracts in old age are called (senile cataract), in children (congenital cataract) and Adolescents (Developmental cataract). When the lens inside the eye gradually changes and becomes less transparent (clear), misty, or cloudy, it is said to have a cataract.
Cataracts often develop as a part of the natural aging process, but other factors can contribute as well. Genetics, lifestyle choices, and certain health conditions are all known to play a role in the formation of cataracts. Understanding these causes can help in managing risks and seeking timely cataract treatment.
Book AppointmentCataracts are a common eye condition that can develop slowly over time, gradually affecting your vision. In this article, we'll explore the journey from normal, healthy eyes to the development of cataracts, understanding the various stages and factors involved in the progression and need for cataract treatment.
The only effective cataract treatment is surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens implant. This is done by an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) at a hospital. Lasers aren’t used to remove cataracts and there is no evidence to suggest that changing your diet, taking vitamins or using eye drops can cure cataracts.
A cataract should not be removed simply because it is present. Many people have cataracts that do not cause blurred vision, interfere with activities of daily living, or otherwise prevent them from leading active and productive lives. In such cases, these individuals may not need cataract treatment or surgery
However, if an individual has blurred vision that makes it difficult to read print or read signs while driving; has disabling glare while driving at night; or has difficulty engaging in daily activities, it is time to consider cataract surgery.
At Rajan Eye Care Hospital we remove cataracts by using an ultrasonic aspiration technique called Phacoemulsification. This involves a small incision in the cornea and patients are implanted with intraocular lenses.

Cataract eye surgery has entered a new era of precision and accuracy with the advent of robotic-assisted cataract treatment using the Femto Laser System. This groundbreaking technology has revolutionized the way cataracts are treated, offering patients a safer and more precise surgical experience.
The femtosecond laser technology that brought new levels of safety, accuracy, and predictability to LASIK surgery is also now advancing cataract surgery technology at Rajan Eye Care Hospital. This state-of-the-art Robotic Cataract Surgery with the CATALYS Femto Cataract System is personally customized to each patient's cataract condition. Femto Laser technology ensures treatment with the highest level of precision.
Innovative design concepts incorporated into the Stellaris Vision Enhancement Systems make it a superlative choice for MICS. They include monitoring and maintenance of fluidic parameters, millisecond-level surgeon control of ultrasound power, and ergonomic comfort and adaptability for any surgical technique.
Another high-tech solution is the Ozil, Torsional Phacoemulsification technology. With enhanced fluidic management and surgical control, it delivers a strategic advantage in customized phaco procedures.
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses surgically implanted in the eye, typically used to treat cataracts or other vision issues where the natural lens of the eye is dysfunctional or needs to be replaced.
3D cataract eye surgery refers to a modern approach to cataract surgery that utilizes 3D visualization technology. In traditional cataract surgery, surgeons look through a microscope to view the surgical area. In 3D cataract treatment, the surgeon wears special glasses to view a high-definition, three-dimensional image of the eye on a monitor. This technology is often coupled with advanced imaging and surgical equipment.
No, cataract surgery is typically painless. Local anesthesia or numbing eye drops are used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
The procedure usually takes about 15-20 minutes. However, you should plan for a few hours at the clinic for preparation and post-surgery observation.
Most patients experience improved vision within a few days, but full recovery may take a few weeks.
It depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) chosen. Multifocal and toric lenses may reduce the need for glasses, but some patients may still need glasses for reading or other specific tasks.
Cataract surgery is generally very safe, with a high success rate. However, as with any surgery, there are minor risks, which your surgeon will discuss with you before the procedure.
After surgery, you should avoid strenuous activities, bending over, and rubbing your eyes. Our team will provide detailed post-surgery care instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Typically, cataract surgery is performed on one eye at a time to allow each eye to heal properly. The second eye can be treated a few weeks later.
Delaying cataract surgery can result in worsening vision and make daily tasks more challenging. In some cases, waiting too long can lead to complications.
While cataracts are often age-related, you can lower your risk by protecting your eyes from UV light, not smoking, and managing health conditions like diabetes
If cataracts are affecting your vision and quality of life, it may be time to consider cataract surgery. Our specialists can assess your eyes and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
