Cataract Solutions
With almost two decades of involvement in the specialty of cataract and IOL surgery, it is the most frequently performed and successful eye surgery at My Vision Eye Care. Every cataract surgery is done exclusively using the micro-incision phacoemulsification technique under topical anaesthesia.
Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed procedure at My Vision Eye Care, and the most successful. Our whole effort here is to keep delivering optimal outcomes without ever compromising on the quality of the consumables, instruments, devices or the surgery itself.
To restore the best possible vision, we hold to high standards of quality control, and the technique we use for removing cataracts is on a par with international standards. Surgery is performed in a NABH-standard modular operating theatre on imported equipment from Carl Zeiss, Alcon, Topcon and Heine. We routinely handle normal cataracts, complicated cataracts, and complex cataract and IOL-implant complications.
Beyond the phacoemulsification technique itself, we are deliberate about the quality of vision we give patients, which is why we use only premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). A premium IOL lets us shape your vision around your daily activities, hobbies and priorities. You can explore that further on our Lifestyle-Enhancing IOLs page.
Cataract Solutions — your questions answered
What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It makes vision blurry, cloudy or dim, and colours appear less bright than they used to. Many people describe it as looking through a dirty glass shield.
What is cataract called in Hindi and Gujarati?
In Hindi a cataract is called motiya or motiyabind, and in Gujarati safed motiyo (સફેદ મોતિયો). What patients often call a motiya operation is exactly the cataract surgery described here — the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear intraocular lens (IOL).
How is cataract surgery done?
The eye’s cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens implant (an intraocular lens, or IOL). At My Vision Eye Care, the only technique we use is micro-incision phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia — a sutureless procedure with no injections around the eye.
A micro-incision is made at the side of the eye and a sophisticated high-frequency ultrasound instrument gently breaks up and removes the cloudy lens. A clear IOL is then placed, allowing light to focus properly on the retina. The IOL becomes a permanent part of the eye, and the micro-incision is self-sealing.
What is special about the technique?
- Cataract is removed with one of the world’s most advanced procedures — micro-incision phacoemulsification.
- The technique is minimally invasive and uses no injections around the eye.
- The incisions are so small that they require no sutures.
- The result is faster rehabilitation of not just vision, but lifestyle.
How fast will I recover after cataract surgery?
Following surgery, the micro-incision heals rapidly and allows fast rehabilitation of both vision and lifestyle.
How do I decide if I need cataract surgery?
A Cataract Questionnaire (adopted from the National Eye Institute) helps score your visual function and understand how your cataract affects daily activities. Because decreasing vision changes daily life in subtle ways, your answers help us evaluate your level of visual functioning and decide, together, on the right time for surgery.
