Cataract Surgery removes the clouded natural lens of the eye and replaces it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure restores sharp vision, reduces glare, and improves color perception, dramatically enhancing quality of life for patients with age‑related or secondary cataracts.
Restoring clear, crisp vision without cloudy blur
Reducing glare and halos around lights, especially at night
Enhancing contrast and color perception
Minimizing dependence on glasses or contact lenses
You experience cloudy or blurred vision interfering with daily activities
You notice halos or glare around lights, difficulty driving at night
You have age‑related or secondary cataracts diagnosed by your ophthalmologist
You are in good general health and able to undergo a short surgical procedure
Your Cataract Surgery journey begins with a pre‑operative evaluation. Typically:
Numbing eye drops and mild sedation are administered
A tiny incision is made at the edge of the cornea
Ultrasound or laser is used to break up and remove the cloudy lens
A foldable intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted to replace the natural lens
The incision is self‑sealing or closed with a fine suture if needed
The entire procedure takes 15–30 minutes per eye, and you’re usually home the same day.

Travel insurance
We understand that traveling abroad for medical care can raise many questions. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to the most common inquiries about our services.
About 15–30 minutes per eye. You’ll be awake but comfortable under topical anesthesia.
No. You should feel little to no pain during the procedure; mild discomfort can occur afterward.
Monofocal, multifocal, and toric IOLs—which correct distance, near, or astigmatism—are offered based on your visual needs.
Many patients notice improved distance vision within 24–48 hours; near vision may require a short‑term adjustment if monofocal lenses are used.
Cataract surgery is very safe. Rare risks include infection, inflammation, and retinal detachment; your surgeon will discuss all potential considerations.
