Cataract surgery in Bareilly

Cataract Surgery in Bareilly and Refractive Services

Do you experience blurry vision? Then you need to immediately consult an eye specialist for a check-up. Cataract (मोतियाबिंद) is the clouding of the natural eye lens which results in blurry and cloudy vision. Cataract generally affects elderly people but is sometimes known to occur in newborn babies. Cataract Surgery in Bareilly is the procedure in which cloudy lens is removed and replaced with artificial Intraocular lens (IOL). At AK EYE, we have eye specialist doctors having more than 3 decades of experience in treating cataract (मोतिया) in patients of all age group.

The intention behind refractive cataract surgery is not only to remove cataracts, but to restore vision without the need for prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors. During refractive cataract surgery, we have the option of using advanced multifocal IOLs to restore vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the right time for cataract surgery?

You do not need to wait for a cataract to become 'ripe'. Surgery is usually advised when the cataract starts to affect daily activities such as reading, driving or work. Your eye surgeon will recommend the right timing after a full eye examination.

Is cataract surgery covered by insurance?

AK Eye Hospital is empanelled with private TPA insurance companies and government schemes such as CGHS and ECHS, so cashless cataract surgery is available for eligible patients, subject to the terms of your policy.

Which lens is best for cataract surgery?

There is no single best lens for everyone. The right intraocular lens depends on your eye measurements, corneal health, lifestyle and expectations. Options include monofocal, toric, EDOF and multifocal lenses.
