Cataract Surgery (Phacoemulsification) in West Bengal

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.
