How It Works
At Manipal Hospitals Kolkata, cataract surgery is performed with precision, safety, and patient comfort as key priorities. The procedure restores clear vision by replacing the eye’s cloudy natural lens with a transparent intraocular lens (IOL).
Patients undergo a detailed evaluation, including visual-acuity testing, slit-lamp examination, and IOL-power calculation. Ophthalmologists review medical history, provide fasting and medication guidelines, and discuss expected recovery.
During the procedure, performed under local anaesthesia, a micro-incision is created to access and remove the clouded lens. The lens is gently fragmented using ultrasound or precision laser techniques. A clear, artificial IOL is inserted to restore normal vision. Many patients choose laser cataract surgery in Kolkata, at Manipal Hospitals, for its enhanced accuracy, faster healing, and minimal tissue disturbance.
After the procedure, patients rest briefly before being discharged the same day. Prescribed eye drops prevent infection and support healing. Follow-up visits ensure proper adjustment and stable vision. Through expert ophthalmologists, advanced technology, and patient-centred care, Manipal Hospitals Kolkata ensures lasting visual clarity, safety, and confidence throughout the surgical journey.
