- Phaco cataract surgery takes only 15 minutes and is completely stitchless and painless.
- Topical drop anesthesia avoids painful needle injections around the eye.
- Multifocal and Toric IOLs can eliminate the need for both distance and reading glasses.
- Over 35,000 successful surgeries have been performed at The Eyes since 1991.
Cataract — the gradual clouding of the natural crystalline eye lens — is the leading cause of preventable visual impairment worldwide. Fortunately, ophthalmic surgical science has evolved dramatically. Today, cataract surgery at The Eyes clinic is a swift, painless 15-minute microsurgery performed under numbing eye drops, requiring zero injections, zero stitches, and zero eye bandages.
How Modern Micro-Incision Phaco Works
Phacoemulsification utilizes high-frequency ultrasound energy to gently break up the cloudy natural lens through an incision as small as 1.8mm to 2.2mm. The emulsified lens material is then gently aspirated from the eye.
Because the incision is microscopic and self-sealing, no surgical sutures are required. The patient remains awake, comfortable, and pain-free under topical anesthetic drops, eliminating the need for painful retrobulbar injections.
Choosing the Right Intraocular Lens (IOL)
1. Monofocal IOLs: The standard lens option, providing sharp distance vision. Reading glasses are usually required for near tasks such as reading or using a smartphone.
2. Premium Multifocal & Trifocal IOLs: Engineered with diffractive optical rings that provide clear vision across distance, intermediate (computer work), and near vision, liberating patients from reading glasses.
3. Toric IOLs: Specifically designed for patients who also have corneal astigmatism, correcting both the cataract and astigmatism in a single surgical intervention.
4. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs: Deliver seamless continuous vision from distance into intermediate ranges with reduced nighttime glare or halos.
Same-Day Recovery: What to Expect
Because the procedure is injection-free and stitchless, patients can walk out of our surgical centre shortly after the operation. Most individuals return to reading, watching television, and light office work within 24 to 48 hours.
Our senior surgeons prescribe specialized antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops to safeguard corneal clarity and ensure smooth, rapid rehabilitation.
Affordable Care Without Compromising Quality
Unlike large commercial healthcare networks that add substantial marketing and administrative surcharges, The Eyes operates with a founding 1991 mission of transparent, affordable healthcare. We offer imported, internationally certified FDA-approved foldable lenses at fair, honest fees.
