1. At first, the vision may be blurry as the eye is still healing and adjusting.
2. Vision begins improving only after a few days.
3. Colours may seem brighter after surgery because you are looking through a new, clear lens. A cataract is usually yellow- or brown-tinted before surgery, muting the look of colours.
4. It’s normal to feel itching and mild discomfort for a couple of days after surgery.
5. Contact the doctor immediately if you experience any of the following:

• Vision loss
• Pain that persists despite the use of over-the-counter pain medications
• Increased eye redness
• Eyelid swelling
• Light flashes or multiple new spots (floaters) in front of your eye

2. Wear an eye patch or protective shield the day of surgery.

3. Wearing the eye patch for a few days after your surgery and the protective shield when you sleep during the recovery period.

4. Do not splash water in the eyes for at least 48 hours post-surgery.

5. Do not expose eyes to harsh light of cell or computer or TV screen for at least 24 hours.

6. Please take medication as prescribed.

7. After a couple of days, most of the discomfort should disappear. Often, complete healing occurs within eight weeks.

8. Most people may need glasses after certain type of surgeries, at least some of the time, after the surgery. You will be informed when your eyes have healed enough for you to get a final prescription for eyeglasses. This is usually between one and three months after surgery.

9. If you need surgery in both eyes, the doctor will schedule the second surgery after the first eye has healed.

Please be on time you have been given for your surgery at Stallard Eye Clinic. We do our best to stay on schedule, but unforeseen delays may occur. If you are unsure when to arrive for surgery, please call us.

If you wish to cancel or reschedule your surgery for any reason, please call as soon as possible.

Yes,it is possible for those who have shown to me before or those suffering from minor problem to seek online consultation but for those with more serious problem visiting the chamber is a must.

Yes, subject to the doctors approval.

Depends upon the availability of surgery slot. We try our best to not extend more than 5 days period. However, in rare circumstances the time period may increase.

The cost of the surgery can range from 25 thousand INR to 2.5 lakh INR depending upon the extend of damage, the average time taken for the surgery, the technology that is being used , the choice of replacement lens as well as the choice of the OT center.

The surgeon’s fee and the OT charges only. Please note the cost of surgery includes only procedural cost of the surgery, not the pre-surgery and post-surgery costs.

The refund may be limited to the surgeon’s professional fee for the surgery the cost incurred for the OT and other ancillary fee including the cost of lenses, etc, cannot be refunded. Please contact the clinic immediately once you decide not to have the surgery.

1. Monofocal lenses:  These lenses have a single point of focus. This means the lens will be fixed for either near or distance vision, but not both
   • Traditional intraocular spherical lenses: The front surface this type of lens is uniformly curved from the centre of the lens to its periphery and therefore cannot mimic the shape of the natural lens inside the eye, which varies in curvature from the centre to periphery. This minor optical imperfection called higher-order aberrations (HOAs) can affect quality of vision. A spherical IOL is relatively easy to manufacture and therefore very cost-effective compared to other types of lens.
   • Aspheric IOLs: The eye’s natural lens is aspheric (“not spherical”). Premium aspheric IOLs, unlike Traditional intraocular spherical lenses, match more closely the shape and optical quality of the eye’s natural lens, and thereby can provide sharper vision — especially in low light conditions and for people with large pupils.
   • Toric IOLs: Toric IOLs are premium intraocular lenses that correct astigmatism as well as nearsightedness or long-sightedness. Toric IOLs can correct astigmatism because they have different powers in different meridians of the lens. They also have alignment markings on the peripheral part of the lens that enables the surgeon to adjust the orientation of the IOL inside the eye for optimal astigmatism correction
2. Accommodating IOLs: Accommodating IOLs are premium intraocular lenses that expand the range of clear vision with both an aspheric design and flexible “haptics” — the supporting legs that hold the IOL in place inside the eye. These flexible legs allow the accommodating IOL to move forward slightly when you look at near objects, which increases the focusing power of the eye enough to provide better near vision than a conventional mono-focal lens.

   Accommodating IOLs may not provide the same level of magnification for the near vision that a multifocal IOL does. But many people find these premium IOLs greatly reduce their need for reading glasses or computer glasses after cataract surgery while providing exceptionally clear distance vision like that offered by a monofocal IOL.

3. Multifocal IOLs: Multifocal IOLs are another category of presbyopia-correcting IOLs that can decrease your need for reading glasses or computer glasses after cataract surgery. These premium IOLs contain added magnification in different parts of the lens to expand your range of vision so you can see objects clearly at all distances without glasses or contact lenses. Some studies have shown multifocal IOLs tend to provide better near vision than accommodating IOLs, but they are also more likely to cause glare or mildly blurred distance vision as a trade-off.

An alternative to accommodating and multifocal IOLs for correcting presbyopia is monovision. There is no such thing as a “monovision IOL.” Monovision is the technique of fully correcting the refractive error of one eye and intentionally making the other eye mildly near sighted. In this scenario, the fully corrected eye sees distant objects clearly (but cannot see very well up close without glasses), and the mildly near-sighted eye sees very well up close without glasses (but not so clearly far away).

The concept of monovision may sound odd the first time you hear about it, but this technique has been used very successfully with contact lenses for many years. And it is now being used frequently with cataract surgery to decrease a person’s dependency on reading glasses and computer glasses after surgery.

Any combination of premium IOLs can be used for monovision cataract surgery.
