More About the Surgery
Preparing for the Surgery
A thorough eye examination is made by the ophthalmologist to understand the exact nature of the cataract and to rule out any other conditions that may be causing blurred vision. Our cataract doctor will conduct visual acuity test, pupil dilation, glare testing, vision testing, fundus examination, biometry, and tonometry test to learn about the structure and health of your eye. Your eye will be measured to determine the proper power of the intraocular lens that will be placed in your eye during surgery.
About the Surgery -
The cloudy lens is removed from the eye during cataract surgery, in most cases; the focusing power of the natural lens is restored by replacing it with a permanent intraocular lens implant. Cataracts cannot be removed with a laser. Surgery is usually done under local anesthesia and performed as an outpatient procedure. He or she will implant a permanent intraocular lens implant. The ophthalmologist makes a small incision on the side of the cornea. Then, the ophthalmologist inserts a tiny probe into the eye. The probe uses safe ultrasound waves that soften and break up the cloudy center of the lens so it can be removed by suction. The back half of the lens capsule is delicately retained to act as support to the intraocular lens (IOL). The cataract surgeries performed at Prabha Eye Clinic are suture-less, painless, and require no bandage. Complete post-op care and treatment is done by the ophthalmologist after cataract surgery, you may return almost immediately to all but the most strenuous activities.
