Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need cataract surgery?
If you are facing symptoms such as blurred vision, sensitivity to light or difficulty in carrying out daily activities, it is advisable to consult an eye care professional immediately. A comprehensive eye examination can help determine the presence of cataracts and whether or not surgery is a suitable solution for your vision concerns.
How long is the recovery period after cataract surgery?
The recovery period after cataract surgery is usually brief. Within a few days, most patients can get back to their regular activities, and full recovery generally takes a few weeks. To ensure optimal healing, it’s crucial to follow the post-operative care instructions and attend scheduled follow-up appointments.
What is most effective treatment for cataracts in the eye?
Cataracts in the eye can be effectively treated through surgical intervention. During cataract operation, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This surgical procedure is highly successful and offers a permanent solution to restore clear vision.
Is cataract surgery a painful procedure?
Cataract surgery is typically painless as it is carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring that you remain comfortable during the entire operation. Although a few patients may experience mild discomfort or itching following the surgery, this is usually temporary and can be easily managed by taking prescribed medications.
Which foods should be avoided after cataract surgery?
After undergoing cataract surgery, it is advisable to avoid consuming spicy and highly salty foods, as well as those high in sugar. This will help to support the healing process and minimize potential complications. It is also recommended to limit the intake of citrus fruits and juices, as they may cause discomfort due to their acidic nature. Alcohol consumption should generally be avoided due to its blood-thinning effects.
What is the cataract treatment cost & does insurance
cover it?
The cost of cataract surgery can vary based on factors such as the type of intraocular lens that is chosen and the surgical facility where the procedure is performed. However, many health insurance plans do cover cataract surgery as it is considered to be medically necessary. It is recommended that you check with your insurance provider for specific details regarding your coverage.

  • Double vision in one eye

What Causes Cataract ( Motibindu )?
