Cataract Surgery
Microincision, stitch-free lens replacement that gently lifts the cloud of a cataract and restores bright, clear vision.
A closer look at your care.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that develops slowly with age, dimming colours, softening detail and scattering light at night. It cannot be cleared with drops or glasses; the only lasting treatment is to replace the cloudy lens with a clear artificial one.
When surgery is the right step, we arrange it at a partner hospital, since the clinic itself does not have an operating theatre. It uses modern microincision phacoemulsification, where gentle ultrasound breaks up the cataract through a tiny, stitch-free opening under anaesthetic eye drops, as a short day-care procedure. Your assessment, lens planning and after-care stay with Dr Vasantha Gowri here at the clinic.
What sets our cataract care apart
Stitch-free technique
A tiny self-sealing incision means no stitches, less discomfort and a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Lens options explained
We talk you through monofocal, toric and multifocal lens choices so the result fits your eyes and your life.
Day-care procedure
Surgery is arranged as a day-care procedure, so most patients are home the same day.
Careful follow-up
Planned review visits make sure the eye is healing well and your vision is settling as expected.

Assessment & measurement
Detailed scans measure your eye precisely to select the right lens power for you.
The procedure
When surgery is needed, it is arranged and carried out for you: stitch-free phacoemulsification under eye-drop anaesthesia, as a short day-care visit.
Recovery & review
Simple eye drops and a few precautions at home, with review visits as your vision brightens.
Questions, answered.
No. The eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops, so the procedure is comfortable. Most people feel only mild awareness of light and pressure, not pain.
Many patients notice brighter vision within a day or two, with sight continuing to sharpen over one to two weeks as the eye settles.
It depends on the lens chosen. Many people see well in the distance without glasses but still use them for reading. We discuss this fully before surgery.
