Why Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification) Is Needed

Performed to remove the eye's clouded natural lens, most often caused by age-related changes but also by diabetes, long-term steroid use, trauma, or congenital factors, once the clouding significantly impairs vision. It's recommended when the cataract meaningfully affects reading, driving, or other daily activities, rather than at a specific fixed stage.

Signs You May Need Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification)

Progressive blurring of vision, glare and halos around lights, especially at night, faded or yellowed color perception, frequent prescription changes in glasses, and difficulty with night driving are typical warning signs. Some patients also notice double vision in a single eye as the cataract advances.

Types of Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification)

Standard phacoemulsification uses ultrasound energy through a small incision to break up and remove the cataract before implanting a folded intraocular lens, while femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification uses a laser to perform some of the incision and lens-softening steps with additional precision. Intraocular lens choices range from standard monofocal lenses to premium multifocal or toric lenses that can reduce dependence on glasses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the surgery take?

The procedure itself typically takes just 15-30 minutes per eye, performed as a day-care procedure.

Which intraocular lens should I choose?

This depends on your lifestyle, budget, and any pre-existing astigmatism; your ophthalmologist can walk you through monofocal versus premium lens options.

Is anesthesia general or local?

Local anesthesia is standard, so you remain awake but comfortable throughout the brief procedure.

How soon will my vision improve?

Many patients notice improved vision within a day or two, with full stabilization over a few weeks as the eye heals.

Are both eyes done at the same time?

Usually not; eyes are typically operated a few days to weeks apart to allow the first eye to heal and vision to be assessed before the second surgery.
