A cataract is a progressive clouding of the eye’s natural lens, causing blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and eventually, permanent blindness if left untreated. Cataract is the leading cause of reversible blindness in India, accounting for over 66% of all blindness cases. Bihar has a particularly high burden of cataract blindness due to high UV exposure, malnutrition, and limited access to surgical services in rural areas.
The good news: cataract is completely curable with surgery. At Drishtikunj Netralaya in Danapur, Patna, we perform advanced phacoemulsification cataract surgery using the latest technology, ensuring a safe, painless, stitch-free procedure and rapid recovery.
We perform phacoemulsification (small-incision cataract surgery), the gold standard cataract treatment worldwide. Using advanced ultrasound energy, the clouded lens is broken into microscopic fragments and removed through a micro-incision of less than 3mm. A foldable premium intraocular lens (IOL) is then implanted to restore clear and improved vision.
