What is a cataract?
A cataract is a natural ageing change in which the eye’s clear lens turns cloudy, causing blurred vision, glare at night, faded colours and frequent power changes. If your daily activities—reading, driving or night-time mobility—are affected, it’s time to consider treatment. At Kabra Eye Hospital, Sodala, Ajmer Road, Jaipur, our approach centres on safety, precision and counselling so you understand every step.
Modern surgical techniques
Cataract is treated by removing the cloudy lens and implanting a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). We routinely perform:
- Micro-incision Phacoemulsification (MICS): Tiny self-sealing incision; fast visual recovery.
- Toric & Premium IOL planning: For astigmatism correction and expanded range of vision.
- Laser-assisted options (where appropriate): To automate some steps and enhance predictability.
Which lens is right for you?
Your lifestyle guides lens selection:
- Monofocal Aspheric IOLs: Excellent clarity at one distance (usually far). You may need reading glasses.
- Toric IOLs: Correct corneal astigmatism for sharper vision without thick spectacles.
- Trifocal / EDOF IOLs: Wider range of vision—distance, intermediate (computer), and reading—with reduced dependence on glasses.
During counselling, Dr. Manoj Kabra explains trade-offs like halos/glare (more likely with trifocals) so you choose confidently.
Safety first: pre-op to post-op
We perform dilated retinal evaluation, IOL power calculations, systemic checks (diabetes, BP) and optimize ocular surface health. The surgery typically takes 10–20 minutes. Most patients return home the same day with a protective shield. You’ll use antibiotic–anti-inflammatory drops for a few weeks, avoid eye rubbing, heavy lifting and dusty environments, and attend timely follow-ups.
Recovery timeline
Many patients notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours, with stabilization over 2–4 weeks. If you’ve chosen advanced IOLs, your brain adapts to new focal points—give it a little time.
