Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure to remove the clouded natural lens of the eye and replace it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), restoring sharp vision. Cataracts typically develop with age but can also result from injury, certain medications, or medical conditions like diabetes. Symptoms include blurred vision, glare, faded colors, and difficulty seeing at night. The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, takes only a few minutes, and offers quick recovery with minimal discomfort. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we use advanced techniques like phacoemulsification and premium IOLs to ensure precise results, faster healing, and improved quality of life.
