A cataract is the eye's own lens slowly turning cloudy, usually with age. Colours start to look washed out, headlights throw a harsh glare at night, and no new spectacle number quite sorts it. The reassuring part: removing it is a 10–15 minute day-care procedure, completely stitch-free, and Dr. Sable has done thousands of them for patients right here in Mulund and Thane.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's naturally clear lens, most often with age. Colours look faded, headlights glare at night, and reading needs more light. It progresses slowly and is the most common cause of reversible blindness in India.
The standard modern technique — ultrasound emulsifies the lens through a tiny 2.2 mm stitch-free incision.
An even smaller incision for faster healing.
Combined with toric or multifocal lenses to reduce spectacle dependence.
Crisp distance vision; reading glasses still needed. Most economical.
Corrects astigmatism along with the cataract.
Reduces dependence on glasses for both near and far.
Only anaesthetic eye-drops — no injection, no pain, you stay awake.
A 2.2 mm self-sealing opening — no stitches needed.
Ultrasound gently breaks the cloudy lens and it's removed.
A clear artificial lens is placed to restore focus — mono, multifocal or toric.
Home in a couple of hours; vision clears over the next day or two.
Varies by lens choice (monofocal to premium multifocal) and technique. 0% EMI options and cashless mediclaim available for eligible patients.
Cataract surgery is a day-care procedure — you go home within a couple of hours. Most patients resume light routine within 24–48 hours, using eye-drops for a few weeks. Vision keeps sharpening over the first week; avoid dust, rubbing and swimming briefly.
Frequent spectacle-number changes, glare or halos around lights, difficulty driving at night, and cloudy or dim vision that stops you doing daily tasks. A simple examination confirms it.
Monofocal (clear distance vision), Toric (corrects astigmatism), and Multifocal / EDOF lenses (reduce dependence on glasses for near and far). Dr. Sable helps you choose the lens that fits your eyes, work and budget.
No. It's done under anaesthetic drops as a day-care procedure — most patients feel only mild pressure and go home the same day.
Most people resume light routine within 24–48 hours. Full healing takes a few weeks with eye-drops.
It depends on your eyes and lifestyle. Dr. Sable will explain monofocal, toric and multifocal options during your examination.
