Cataracts is one of the most common types of vision impairments and afflict millions of people worldwide, particularly older people who are above 60 years old. In the instance of having blurred vision, you cannot see at night and you are a bit sensitive to the light you are likely to encounter Cataract Surgery in Lucknow. We have the latest techniques of the cataract surgery in Dr Astha Eye Care Clinic in Lucknow that can help you to see clearly and improve your quality of life to the highest level possible.

What is Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery is a safe out-patient operation, which is of high quality and involves the removal of the opaque natural lens of the eye and the replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is the surgery done in case the cataracts are so serious in influencing your vision that it has come to an extent that it is disrupting your day to day tasks, such as reading books, driving, or even recognizing faces.

The surgery requires a little cut on the eye by the surgeon and very complex systems of fragmenting and extracting the opaque diaphragm. The implanted artificial lens is then the artificial lens that is specifically selected based on your vision needs and helps you to have clear vision. Eye cataract surgery has been considered as one of the most successful surgeries in modern times with over 95 percent success.

Types of Cataract Surgery

Dr Astha Eye Care Clinic offers several modern techniques of the cataract surgery to suit the demands of each patient:

• Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery): It is the most common and the most popular type whereby the ultrasonic energy is employed in subdividing the cataract into minuscule fragments before they are removed.


• Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): The method is used on the hard or full grown cataracts and a rather bigger incision is made to remove the extraction piece.


• Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: This is the most modernized technology that involves the use of the femtosecond laser technology in creating very precise incisions and softening the cataract prior to surgery.


• Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS): This is a modern surgery which uses even smaller cuts than the traditional phaco resulting in minimal tissue damage and minimal recovery time.

How Cataract Surgery is Performed

The procedure of cataract surgery at Dr Astha Eye Care Clinic is systematic to achieve the best outcomes:

• Pre-Operative Assessment: This is a thorough examination of the eyes, assessment of the IOL selection, and check-up of the medical history to assist in choosing the appropriate method of surgery.


• Day of Surgery: The operation commences with the application of local anesthesia in order to desensitize the eye. A minor puncture (usually 2-3mm) is created on the cornea.


• Lens Removal: With phacoemulsification, the surgeon inserts a small probe that produces ultrasonic waves to fragment the cataract. Suctioning out the fragmented pieces of the lens is then done.


• IOL Implantation: The chosen artificial lens is then placed with the help of the same small incision and the same opening where the natural lens has been removed.


• Incision Closure: The small incision generally closes on its own without the necessity of stitches; in others, it might be necessary to place one stitch.
