Regain Clear Vision with Advanced Cataract Surgery
What are Cataracts?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which prevents light from reaching the retina, leading to blurry vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss but is completely treatable with surgery.
Types of Cataracts
Cataracts can develop in different parts of the lens, affecting vision in unique ways:
Cortical Cataract
Forms as white wedge-shaped streaks on the lens edges, causing glare and light sensitivity.
Nuclear Cataract
Affects the center of the lens, leading to gradual yellowing and difficulty seeing details.
Posterior Subcapsular Cataract
Develops at the back of the lens, affecting near vision and increasing glare sensitivity.
Traumatic Cataract
Develops after an eye injury, sometimes years later.
Congenital Cataract
Present at birth or develops in childhood due to genetic conditions or infections.
Secondary Cataract
Can occur after eye surgery or due to conditions like diabetes or medication use.
Causes & Risk Factors
Several factors can contribute to cataract development, including:
Symptoms
Diagnosis
At Balaji Horizon, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess cataracts and plan the best treatment:
Visual Acuity Test
Measures how clearly you can see at different distances.
Slit-Lamp Examination
Provides a magnified view of the lens and other eye structures.
Dilated Eye Exam
Allows for a detailed examination of the retina and optic nerve.
Tonometry
Measures eye pressure to rule out conditions like glaucoma.
Cataract Treatment: Advanced Surgery for Clear Vision
Surgery is the only effective treatment for cataracts. At Balaji Horizon, we offer state-of-the-art techniques for a quick and safe recovery.
Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery)
The most advanced and commonly performed cataract surgery:
✔ Uses ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens
✔ Requires a small incision (often heals without stitches)
✔ Minimally invasive, with fast healing & recovery
✔ Performed as an outpatient procedure
Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Your Vision, Your Choice
During surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). We offer a variety of IOLs to match your lifestyle and vision needs:
Provides clear vision at a single fixed distance (distance, intermediate, or near). Most patients choose distance vision and use reading glasses for near work.
Monofocal IOLs
Provides sharp vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far), reducing the need for glasses.
Multifocal IOLs
Corrects astigmatism for sharper vision, available in monofocal and multifocal options.
Toric IOLs
Offers a wider range of clear vision, improving intermediate and near vision.
Extended Depth of Focus IOLs

Frequently Asked Questions
You should consider surgery when cataracts interfere with daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces. Your doctor will assess the severity and recommend the best time for surgery.
No, cataract surgery is painless. It is performed under local anesthesia (eye drops or a small injection) to keep you comfortable.
The procedure itself takes about 15–20 minutes per eye. However, you may spend 2–3 hours at the clinic for pre-and post-surgery care.
Most patients experience significant vision improvement within a few days. Full recovery typically takes 2–4 weeks.
It depends on the type of IOL you choose. Monofocal IOLs may require reading glasses, while multifocal or EDOF IOLs can reduce dependence on glasses.
No, but some patients develop a secondary cataract (posterior capsular opacification), which can be treated with a quick laser procedure (YAG capsulotomy).
Yes, modern cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful surgeries, with a high success rate of over 95%.
