Introduction
Cataract surgery is a highly effective procedure to remove a cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision. Cataracts develop gradually, causing blurry vision, glare sensitivity, and poor night vision. At Dr. Pattnaik Laser Eye Institute, we offer advanced cataract surgery techniques to help patients regain clear, sharp vision and improve their quality of life.
Who It’s For
This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing vision impairment due to cataracts, which can interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces. Cataract surgery is typically recommended when the clouding of the lens begins to impact a patient’s quality of life.
Procedure Overview
Pre-Surgery Evaluation: We conduct a thorough eye examination to assess eye health and select an optimal intraocular lens (IOL) based on the patient’s vision needs, lifestyle, and any pre-existing eye conditions.
Anesthesia: The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia with sedation to ensure comfort.
Cataract Removal: Using advanced phacoemulsification technology, a small incision is made in the eye, and an ultrasound probe is used to break up and gently remove the clouded lens.
IOL Placement: An artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is carefully implanted to replace the removed natural lens. We offer various IOL options, including monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses.
Post-Operative Care: Following surgery, patients are prescribed eye drops to aid healing and prevent infection. Our team provides guidance on caring for the eye during the recovery period, which typically lasts a few weeks.
