Consult with a doctor to know about your eye conditions.
What is Cataract Surgery?
What is Cataract Surgery?
Cataract surgery is the process of replacing your eye's cataract-affected blurred lens with an artificial lens (IOL).
Cataracts occur when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy from natural proteins that build up over time. As the condition progresses, the cataract affected lens allows less light to pass through your eye and your vision becomes blurred. Through surgery, the clouded lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens. The surgery can provide clear vision to see up close, intermediate and at distance and help free you from eyeglasses depending on your lens selection. Cataract surgery is a safe and simple procedure which takes only a few minutes.

Cataract Surgery through SICS technique
Cataract Surgery by Making an Incision Using SICS Technique
Features of SICS surgery:
The operation is performed by making a small incision
This is a sutureless operation
The patient may have to stay in the hospital for one day after the operation
The patient gets to see from next day after the eye patch is removed
The patient can resume normal life after 15 - 16 days of the operation
Surgery Process
A minor hole or incision will be made using the PHACO machine or blade respectively.
The cataract lens will be removed, and the artificial lens (IOL) will be implanted.
No stitches are required, as the hole or the incision is so small.
After surgery, a bandage will be placed over the eye for protection.
The bandage or patch is removed after few hours and patient is given black pair of glasses to wear for protection.
The surgery procedure usually takes around 10 to 12 minutes.
Did you know?
Sometimes when the cataract is too matured and thick, doctors prefers to opt for SICS process even if the patient wants a PHACO surgery. Consult with your doctor/ counsellor before the surgery and check if you are such a patient.
