What is a cataract ?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, causing blurred or dim vision. Cataract usually develops with age, just like hair starts greying with age. Cataracts gradually interfere with daily activities like reading, driving, or recognising faces.
What is the treatment for cataract
The only effective treatment is a quick, painless surgery to replace the cloudy lens with a brand new clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Modern cataract surgery is safe, stitchless, and offers rapid visual recovery, often within hours.
Blurred, cloudy or dim vision
Increased glare or difficulty with bright lights
Colours appearing faded or yellowish
Double vision in one eye
Nuclear Cataract – Natural lens centre hardens, causing gradual yellowing and blurring.
Cortical Cataract Spoke-like opacities form around lens edges affecting clarity.
Posterior subcapsular cataract Clouding at back of lens reducing near and bright-light vision.
Congenital cataracts Present at birth, affecting early vision development significantly.
Traumatic Cataract Lens becomes cloudy after eye injury or blunt trauma.
Secondary Cataract Lens opacity develops after surgery due to pre-existing medical conditions.
Monofocal Lens Clear distance vision; glasses needed for near vision
Toric Lens Corrects astigmatism for sharper, more accurate distance vision, glasses needed for near vision.
Multifocal Lens Gives distance and near clarity, reducing dependence on glasses.
EDOF Lens (Extended Depth of Focus) Smooth, extended vision range with minimal halos. No dependence on glasses.
Trifocal Lens Clear near, intermediate, distant vision for active lifestyles. No dependence on glasses.

Clear Answers for Better Vision
What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which leads to blurry vision, glare, and difficulty with daily activities like reading or driving. It occurs most commonly due to aging but can also result from diabetes or eye injuries.
What are the common symptoms of a cataract?
Symptoms include blurry or cloudy vision, increased glare (especially at night), difficulty seeing in low light, colors appearing faded, and frequent changes in spectacle prescriptions.
How is a cataract diagnosed at ASG Eye Hospital?
Our specialists perform a comprehensive eye exam using advanced diagnostic tools to assess lens clarity, retina health, and intraocular pressure to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
When is the right time to consider cataract surgery?
Surgery is recommended when the cataract begins to interfere with your quality of life—such as making it hard to drive at night or read. There is no need to wait for the cataract to “mature” or become “ripe” before undergoing modern surgery.
Is cataract surgery safe?
Yes. Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful medical procedures worldwide. At ASG, our surgeons have performed (thousands of successful surgical procedures using state-of-the-art technology.
What happens during the procedure?
The cloudy lens is gently removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens (Intraocular Lens or IOL). At ASG, we specialize in Phacoemulsification and MICS (Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery), which use ultra-small incisions for faster healing.
Will I still need to wear glasses after surgery?
This depends on your choice of lens. While standard lenses (Monofocal)may still require reading glasses, our Premium IOLs (Multifocal, Trifocal, or EDOF) can significantly reduce or even eliminate your dependence on glasses for both distance and near vision.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within 24 to 48 hours. While full healing takes about 4 weeks, most people return to light daily activities the very next day/.
Are there risks involved?
While complications are rare, as with any surgery, there are minimal risks such as inflammation or infection. Our surgeons /councilors discuss these in detail during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
Can cataracts grow back after surgery?
No, a cataract cannot return. However, some patients may experience blurring of vision fewmonths after surgery, which results from a “secondary cataract” (PCO), which causes slight cloudiness behind the new lens. This is easily corrected with a quick, painless 2-minute YAG Laser procedure at our clinic.
Is the surgery painful?
No. We use “topical anesthesia” (numbing eye drops), meaning there are no injections and no pain. You may feel a slight sensation of pressure, but the procedure is generally very comfortable.
