— About Cataract Surgery
Restoring Clear Vision
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that leads to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty with daily activities. Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed and successful surgical procedures in the world.
Dr. Patel performs state-of-the-art cataract surgery using the latest techniques and premium lens implants, tailoring each procedure to the patient’s individual vision needs and lifestyle goals.

What is a Cataract?
The eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy over time, scattering light and causing visual disturbances. Cataracts typically develop slowly and are most common in people over 60.

— Common Questions
Cataract Surgery FAQs
Is cataract surgery painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic eye drops, so you will not feel pain. You may feel mild pressure. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is.
How long does the procedure take?
The surgery itself takes approximately 20–30 minutes per eye. You will spend a few hours at the facility including pre- and post-operative care. Only one eye is operated on at a time.
When will my vision improve?
Many patients notice clearer vision within 24 hours. Vision continues to improve and stabilise over 4–6 weeks as the eye heals and adapts to the new lens.
Will I still need glasses after surgery?
This depends on the type of lens implant chosen. Monofocal lenses typically still require reading glasses. Premium lenses such as multifocal or EDOF lenses can significantly reduce or eliminate glasses dependence.
