Cataract surgery planning

Cataract Surgery and Phaco Surgery for Cataract are discussed together.

For many patients, Cataract Surgery and Phaco Surgery are part of the same treatment journey: cataract diagnosis, lens power measurement, IOL selection, surgery preparation, and recovery reviews. At Eye First, the plan is personalised after checking eye health, cataract density, retina status, and lifestyle needs.

Small-incision cataract care

Phacoemulsification uses ultrasound energy to break the cloudy lens into tiny fragments so it can be removed through a small opening.

IOL lens counselling

Lens options such as monofocal, toric, multifocal, or spectacle-reducing IOLs are discussed according to eye measurements and daily visual needs.

Recovery-focused follow-up

Patients receive clear guidance on eye drops, eye protection, activity precautions, warning signs, and scheduled post-operative reviews.

Who may need Phaco Surgery?

A cataract evaluation is useful when cloudy vision starts affecting reading, night driving, daily work, or overall clarity.

Blurred or cloudy vision

Cataract can make vision hazy, dull, or less sharp even when glasses are changed.

Glare and night driving difficulty

Bright lights, halos, and poor contrast can become more noticeable as cataract progresses.

Lifestyle-based timing

Surgery timing is planned around symptoms, cataract maturity, eye health, and the patient’s daily needs.

Phacoemulsification cataract surgery steps

Pre-surgery measurements

Vision testing, slit-lamp examination, eye pressure checks, retina evaluation, and lens power measurements help guide the final plan.

Cataract removal and IOL placement

The cloudy lens is removed using phacoemulsification and an artificial intraocular lens is placed as planned by the surgeon.

Post-surgery care

Eye drops, eye protection, hygiene instructions, activity guidance, and follow-up visits support recovery.
