Cataract Services

Mansarovar Eye Hospital is a premier centre for advanced cataract surgery, offering state-of-the-art technology and personalized care for optimal visual outcomes.

The human eye functions much like a camera, with the natural crystalline lens focusing light onto the retina. Cataract is a condition in which this lens becomes cloudy (opacified), leading to gradual and painless loss of vision. Patients may experience blurred vision, glare and halos around lights, frequent changes in spectacle number, and difficulty with night or day vision.

Scope of Services

Comprehensive Cataract Evaluation
A detailed preoperative assessment is performed to evaluate the extent of cataract, its contribution to visual loss, and the presence of any associated ocular or systemic conditions. Advanced diagnostics including optical biometryand retinal evaluation ensure accurate surgical planning.
Advanced Cataract Surgery
Modern cataract surgery is performed using phacoemulsification, a stitchless, minimally invasive technique with rapid recovery. Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) is also offered in selected cases.
Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation
An intraocular lens (IOL)is implanted during surgery to replace the natural lens. This is a standard and essential component of cataract surgery. A wide range of lenses are available, including:
- Monofocal IOLs
- Toric IOLs(for astigmatism correction)
- Multifocal IOLs
- EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) IOLs

Patients are guided in selecting the most suitable lens based on their visual needs and clinical evaluation.

Advantages of IOL Implantation

Significant restoration of vision with reduced dependence on glasses
Availability of premium lenses for enhanced quality of vision
Improved lifestyle and functional independence
Maintenance of binocular vision
Durable, stable implants that last a lifetime and do not require replacement

AI Assisted Cataract Surgery

Surgical Process

Before Surgery

Patients undergo a comprehensive eye examination including visual assessment, corneal evaluation, retinal examination, and biometry for IOL power calculation using advanced systems such as the Argos biometer. Systemic fitness is assessed when required.

During Surgery

Cataract surgery is performed as a day-care procedure under topical or local anesthesia. Advanced technology including Nidek and Alcon phacoemulsification systems, high-precision Leica and Zeiss operating microscopes, and Verion toric intraoperative marker ensures accuracy and safety. The procedure is typically painless and completed within 15–20 minutes.

After Surgery

Postoperative care includes prescribed medications and scheduled follow-up visits. Mild discomfort may occur initially but resolves quickly.

Follow-up Schedule:

Day 1 (next morning)
1 week
1 month

Surgeries are conducted in a modular NABH-standard operation theatre complex, adhering to stringent sterility and safety protocols, ensuring optimal surgical outcomes and patient safety.

Cataracts associated with trauma, infections, or previous eye surgeries may require individualized surgical planning and follow-up protocols. Patients are advised to strictly follow medical guidance in such cases.

The department emphasizes precision, safety, and patient education, ensuring informed decision-making and excellent visual outcomes tailored to each patient’s needs.
