Cataract
At PBMA's H. V. Desai Eye Hospital, we offer state-of-the-art cataract surgery in Pune— combining precision, comfort, and premium intraocular lens (IOL) options to restore clear vision. Our expert team performs over 175 surgeries daily, using the latest technology and techniques to ensure safe, stitch-less, and pain-free procedures.
What Is Cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens, commonly caused by aging. It can also result from diabetes, hypertension, smoking, prolonged steroid use, or eye injuries.
Symptoms include:
- Blurred or foggy vision
- Difficulty seeing at night or while driving
- Dull color perception
- Trouble recognizing faces from a distance
When to Consider Cataract Surgery
Modern cataract surgery doesn't require waiting for the cataract to "mature." If your vision affects daily activities—whether you're a working professional or a senior citizen—surgery can be scheduled promptly. Our approach is personalized to your lifestyle and visual needs.
Our Surgical Expertise
We specialize in:
- Phacoemulsification: Ultrasonic removal of the cloudy lens via a micro-incision
- Foldable IOL implantation: Restores vision with minimal discomfort
- Topical anesthesia: No injection, no patch surgery
- Complex cataract cases: Including Iris Claw, Scleral Fixated, and Glued IOLs
We also offer combined procedures with corneal transplant, glaucoma, or retinal surgeries when needed.
