Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in India, accounting for over 66% of all blindness cases. The good news? It is completely curable with a simple, painless surgical procedure. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cataract and is looking for reliable information about cataract surgery in Patna, this comprehensive guide answers all your questions.
The eye’s natural lens sits behind the iris and pupil. In a healthy eye, the lens is perfectly clear, allowing light to focus sharply on the retina. With age – typically after 50 years – proteins in the lens break down and clump together, causing the lens to become cloudy. This is a cataract. Factors that accelerate cataract formation include: diabetes, UV exposure (very common in Bihar’s hot climate), trauma, prolonged steroid use, and nutritional deficiencies.
Modern cataract surgery in Patna – called phacoemulsification – is performed as a day-care procedure under topical (eye drop) anaesthesia, taking just 15–20 minutes. A micro-incision of under 3mm is made; an ultrasound probe emulsifies and aspirates the clouded lens; a foldable intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted through the same incision. No stitches. Same-day discharge. Vision improvement begins within 24–48 hours.
The cost of cataract surgery in Patna depends on the type of IOL chosen, the technology used, and whether you are self-pay, insured, or covered under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY).
