Cataract Surgery

Discover expert cataract care at EyeCare, offering advanced surgical options and personalized treatment to restore clarity and protect your vision

What is Cataract?

A cataract occurs when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred vision, difficulty with night driving, glare, and fading colors. It is a common condition that typically develops with age, but may also result from diabetes, long-term medication use, or eye injury. 

Cataracts cannot be treated with glasses or medication. Surgery is the only effective treatment once vision is significantly affected.

Treatment Procedure: Phaco vs SICS

Phacoemulsification (Preferred Option) 

  1. A tiny incision is made in the cornea. 
  2. An ultrasound probe breaks the cloudy lens into small fragments.
  3. Fragments are gently removed, and a clear artificial lens (IOL) is implanted. 
  4. No stitches are required, and recovery is rapid. 

Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) 

  1. A slightly larger incision is made. 
  2. The cloudy lens is removed in one piece.
  3. An artificial lens is implanted. 
  4. Healing time is longer compared to Phaco.
