At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur, when we perform Cataract Surgery in Jaipur, we follow a safe, precise, and highly effective surgical process. This surgery is typically carried out under local anesthesia, which means you will be fully awake but completely comfortable and free from pain during the procedure.

The entire Cataract Surgery in Jaipur at our clinic usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific surgical technique best suited for your eye condition.

• Phacoemulsification: A minute incision will be created, followed by the use of ultrasonic energy to break apart and subsequently remove the clouded lens. The new artificial lens will then be inserted through the small incision.
• ECCE: For more advanced cataracts, a larger incision will be necessary to remove the lens in one piece. A new lens will then be positioned within the eye.
• FLACS: Laser technology will be employed to enhance precision during critical stages of the surgical process.

Intraocular Lens (IOL) Choices

 A range of IOLs (artificial lenses) is available, and guidance will be provided to help you select the most appropriate option for your visual requirements:

• Monofocal IOL: This lens is engineered to provide sharp vision at a single focal distance, typically for distance vision. Spectacles may be required for near vision tasks.
• Multifocal/Trifocal IOLs: These special lenses help you see clearly up close, in the middle, and far away, so you might not need glasses after surgery. 
• Accommodating IOLs: These lenses function similarly to your natural lens, enabling focus at varying distances.
• Toric IOLs: For individuals with astigmatism, this type of lens can correct this refractive error concurrently.

Prior to surgery, these options will be discussed in detail to facilitate the selection of the most suitable lens for your individual needs.

Postoperative Management and Follow-Up Care

Fortunately, the recovery period following cataract surgery is typically swift. You can anticipate an improvement in your vision within a few days, although complete healing may take approximately 6 to 8 weeks. The postoperative care will involve:

• Medications: Prescription eye drops will be provided to mitigate inflammation and prevent infection.
• Ocular Protection: An eye shield or patch should be worn, particularly during sleep, for the initial few days to safeguard your eye.
• Activity Limitations: Avoid strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, bending, or rubbing your eye for a specified period.
• Follow-up Appointments: Scheduled visits will be necessary to monitor the healing process of your eye.

Approximately 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery, once your vision has stabilized, an assessment will be conducted to determine if spectacles are required for any residual refractive errors.
