Does your vision feel dim, like you’re looking through a foggy glass, especially in bright light or while driving at night? This is often how cataract begins, not suddenly, but slowly, affecting daily activities like reading or recognising faces.
At Dr. Jyotis Hospital in Chandigarh, phaco surgery is used to treat cataract with a modern, stitch-free approach. In simple terms, the cloudy natural lens inside the eye is broken into tiny pieces using ultrasound and replaced with a clear artificial lens. The procedure is done through a very small opening, which is why recovery is usually faster compared to older methods.
What worries many patients is the idea of “eye surgery.” But phaco surgery is commonly performed under local anaesthesia, meaning you stay awake but feel no pain. Most people go home the same day, and vision starts improving within a short time.
Cataract doesn’t improve with medicines or eye drops, it gradually progresses. Delaying treatment can make vision more uncomfortable and may even affect independence in daily tasks.
If you’ve noticed increasing glare, faded colours, or difficulty seeing clearly, getting evaluated for phaco surgery can help restore clarity safely and effectively.
