Cataract Surgery
Cataract Surgery
Cataract is one of the most common age-related eye conditions, where the natural lens becomes cloudy and causes blurred or dim vision. At Dr. Vishal Maniar’s Eye Clinic, we offer advanced, safe, and painless cataract removal surgery with premium intraocular lens (IOL) implants to help you regain crystal-clear vision and improve your quality of life.
With over 17 years of expertise in ophthalmology, Dr. Vishal Maniar ensures that every cataract surgery is performed with precision, using state-of-the-art technology for faster recovery and long-term results.

Symptoms of Cataracts
- • Blurry or cloudy vision
- • Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
- • Sensitivity to bright lights and glare
- • Halos around lights, especially while driving
- • Faded, yellowed, or dull colors
- • Double vision in one eye
- • Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
- • Trouble reading small print even with glasses
Causes of Cataracts
Cataracts occur when proteins in the lens break down and clump together, clouding vision. Major causes include:
- • Aging – most common cause
- • Diabetes and chronic health conditions
- • Excessive UV exposure
- • Smoking and alcohol consumption
- • Long-term steroid medication use
- • Eye injuries or trauma
- • Family history and genetics
- • Radiation exposure or treatments
- • Nutritional deficiencies (low antioxidants, vitamins C & E)
Treatment Options
While early stages may be managed with glasses and brighter lighting, surgery is the only effective cure for advanced cataracts:
- Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery): Small incision, ultrasound-based removal.
- Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: Bladeless procedure with precision.
- Extracapsular Cataract Surgery: For advanced or dense cataracts.
- Premium IOL Implants: Multifocal, toric, or trifocal lenses for glasses-free vision.
- Monofocal Lenses: Clear vision at one distance (usually far).
- Toric Lenses: Correct cataracts with astigmatism.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients see clearer vision within 1–2 days, but complete recovery may take weeks. Aftercare includes:
- • Using prescribed eye drops
- • Avoiding rubbing or pressing the eyes
- • Wearing sunglasses outdoors
- • Avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activity
- • Sleeping on the non-operated side
- • Attending all follow-up appointments
- • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
Prevention Tips
- • Regular eye checkups after age 40
- • Wearing UV-protective sunglasses outdoors
- • Maintaining blood sugar control for diabetics
- • Eating antioxidant-rich foods (A, C, E, lutein, omega-3s)
- • Avoiding smoking and alcohol
- • Using protective eyewear
- • Managing hypertension and other conditions

- Posterior: Back of lens, affects reading
- Congenital: From birth
- Secondary: After surgery/disease
- Traumatic: Caused by injury
Diagnosis
- Visual Acuity: Clarity at distances
- Slit-Lamp: Examines lens & cornea
- Retinal Exam: Retina check post dilation
- Tonometry: Eye pressure test
