Cataract surgery removes the eye's clouded natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). At Jawahar Eye Hospital it is usually performed as micro-incision (phaco) day-care surgery under local anaesthesia.

Consider it when the cataract makes reading, driving or daily tasks difficult, or when your eye specialist advises it for medical reasons. There is no need to wait for a cataract to 'ripen'.

No. Suitability depends on age, prescription stability, corneal thickness and shape, tear health and general eye health. A detailed pre-LASIK assessment decides whether LASIK, PRK, ICL or no surgery is right for you.

Glaucoma is a group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, often linked to raised eye pressure. It usually has no early symptoms, so regular eye check-ups — especially after 40 — are important.

Warning signs include a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, a curtain or shadow over vision, distorted or wavy lines, and dark spots. Sudden symptoms need urgent examination.

It is damage to the retina's blood vessels caused by diabetes. Early stages often have no symptoms, so people with diabetes should have a dilated eye examination at least once a year or as advised.

It depends on the procedure. Laser vision correction and many cataract surgeries take a short time in the operating room, while retina surgery can take longer. Plan to spend a few hours at the hospital including preparation and recovery.
