Micro-Incision Surgery for Sharper Vision

What is a Cataract?

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which is located behind the iris and pupil. This clouding keeps light from focusing well on the retina, resulting in blurred, dim, or “muddy” vision. While cataracts are often related to aging, they can also be congenital or caused by trauma.

Advanced Surgical Techniques: The Lamellar Advantage

DSEK (Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty):

This is a specialized "partial-thickness" transplant procedure that replaces only the innermost layer of the cornea (the endothelium).

DALK (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty):

We use this advanced technique for patients with diseases affecting the front and middle layers of the cornea, such as Keratoconus or scarring.

PK (Penetrating Keratoplasty):

For cases where all layers of the cornea are severely damaged or scarred, we perform traditional full-thickness corneal transplantation.

Advanced Pterygium Excision with Autograft:

We offer a specialized "no-stitch" surgical approach for removing pterygium (a non-cancerous growth on the cornea).

The Cataract Journey: What to Expect

Phase 1: Precision Planning
Your journey starts with a thorough evaluation. We use Optical Biometry to measure your eye’s dimensions very precisely. This helps us choose the right Intraocular Lens (IOL) that suits your lifestyle.

Phase 2: The Procedure
On the day of surgery, you will spend about 10 to 15 minutes in our NABH-certified operating room. We perform the procedure using topical anesthesia (numbing drops), so there are no needles or pain.

Phase 3: Immediate Results
With our MICS (Micro-Incision) technique, the wound heals by itself without stitches. Most patients see a noticeable improvement in brightness and clarity within 24 to 48 hours

When Should You Consider Surgery?

– Blurred, cloudy, or misty vision.
– Difficulty seeing in low light or at night.
– Glare from lights, such as halos around streetlights or headlights.
– Colors looking faded or yellowed.
– Frequent changes in your glasses prescription.
