Cataract Surgery – Step-by-Step Explained (Simple Language)

Cataract surgery is a daycare procedure (you go home the same day) and takes approximately 20–30 minutes.

1. Eye Examination & Biometry

Your eye power and lens measurements are taken to choose the best IOL (intra-ocular lens).

2. Anaesthesia

Numbing drops are used – no injection, no pain.

3. Lens Removal

Depending on your condition, the surgeon will use:

•  Phacoemulsification

Micro-incision surgery where ultrasound breaks and removes the cloudy lens.

4. IOL Implantation

A clear artificial lens (IOL) is inserted.
This lens permanently replaces your natural lens.

5. Quick Recovery

You will rest for a short time and can go home the same day.
