Cataract Surgery at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital

What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

Cataract surgery is performed to remove the cloudy lens of the eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens. Cataracts cause blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, cataract surgery is recommended when vision problems interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, or working.

How the Treatment Is Performed

The cloudy lens is removed using phacoemulsification, a technique that uses ultrasound waves to break up the lens.
A clear artificial lens (intraocular lens or IOL) is implanted.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes 15–30 minutes.
Patients can return home the same day.
