About Cataract

What is Cataract

Eyes are like a camera that captures every moment of life. The lens in the eyes focuses light on the retina to give us clear vision. A cataract is a clouding of the eye lens that leads to a diminution of vision. With time, it can cause blindness if left untreated.

A successful cataract surgery begins with accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, and you have to contact our super speciality eye hospital at the time of experiencing cloudy vision.

Why is Cataract surgery needed?

This surgery is the only proven method for effective treatment to restore clear vision from the cloudy natural lens because cataract cannot be reversed with medicine, eye drops, glasses or lifestyle changes alone. It can improve daily activities, lifestyle and confidence of the patients by regaining the bright and sharp vision.

Types of Cataract surgery

Phacoemulsification: It is the most common surgery for treating this eye condition, and ultrasonic devices are used here to replace the cloudy lens with an IOL. It is the latest and safest surgical process in eye treatment with minimally invasive techniques that provide quick recovery. Our cataract specialists have made Renuka Eye Hospital the best and popular in Kolkata by performing thousands of successful phaco surgeries at an affordable cost each year.
Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery: It involves a slightly larger and self-sealing incision. Here, the natural lens is manually replaced with a rigid IOL.
Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): In this process, the eye doctor uses a large incision to remove the front capsule and the cloudy lens in one piece while leaving the back lens capsule intact to support the artificial ones for treating advanced cataract.
Laser-assisted cataract surgery: A high-tech femtosecond laser is used instead of traditional surgical tools to make incisions for removing cataract.

Types of Cataract lenses and how they affect surgery cost

The expenses of this surgery largely depend on the selection of intraocular lenses, which are chosen by doctors in consultation with patients according to their visual needs and lifestyle. Different types of lenses offer different visual advantages, and their price also varies in India on the basis of brands, materials, technology and the doctor’s recommendation.

Monofocal Lens-costs ₹5,000 – ₹20,000 /eye
Toric Lens- costs ₹15,000 – ₹50,000+ /eye
Multifocal / Trifocal Lens- costs ₹30,000 – ₹1,00,000+ /eye
