Cataract Surgery in Srinagar

A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens helps to focus light on the retina, the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye. It also adjusts the eye’s focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far away. During surgery, your surgeon will make a tiny incision in your eye and insert an instrument called a phacoemulsification needle. This needle emits ultrasonic waves that break up the cataract into tiny pieces, which are then suctioned out of your eye. Once the cataract is removed, your surgeon will place the IOL in your eye. There are different types of IOLs available, and your surgeon will help you choose the best one for your needs. In Srinagar, cataract surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, which means you won’t have to stay in the hospital overnight. The procedure takes about an hour, and you’ll be able to go home the same day.
