Cataract Surgery (Adult)

Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) Fishhook Technique

The cataract is removed manually through a small, self-sealing incision using a specially designed hook and an intraocular lens implanted. The small incision heals fast, allowing quick visual recovery.

Phacoemulsification

The cataract is fragmented and emulsified using ultrasonic vibrations and aspirated. This requires only a very small incision, through which a foldable intraocular lens is inserted. This is the most advanced technique of cataract removal and allows faster and safer healing and visual recovery.

Biometry (Intraocular lens power measurement)

Surgery: On the same or the day after admission

Hospital stay: Overnight after surgery

Local patients or those who want to go home are allowed to go after short staying for few hours by own responsibility surgery (they need to come next morning)

Discharge: On the first post-operative day

Post-operative medicines are given

Patients are advised to return for follow-up: 6 weeks after surgery
