Cataract Surgery in Shimla

Cataract surgery is a medical procedure to remove the cloudy lens from your eye. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure, which means you will not have to stay in the hospital overnight.

During cataract surgery, your surgeon will make a small incision in your eye and then use a special instrument to break up the cloudy lens and remove it. In most cases, an artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL), will be placed in your eye to help improve your vision. Cataract surgery is generally safe and effective, and most people who have the procedure are very satisfied with their results.

In Shimla, there are many experienced surgeons who can perform cataract surgery. If you are considering having the procedure, be sure to talk to your doctor about all of your options and what is best for your individual situation.
