Cataract Surgery in Delhi, Sardana Eye Institute

How is Cataract treated?

Cataract Eye Surgery has developed into one of the most advanced and reliable eye surgery practices available. It involves removing the natural, ageing lens and replacing it with an artificial lens known as an Intraocular lens (IOL) that allows light through to reach the retina. Treatment approach involves breaking up the lens with an ultrasonic probe and gently sucking out the fragments.

The clear IOL is inserted through the incision so that it occupies the same space as the natural lens. The IOL will unfold, filling the remaining lens capsule. The surgeon will then close the incision, and a protective shield is placed over the top of the eye to keep it safe during the initial healing stages post-surgery. Cataract is a day surgery procedure meaning you’ll be able to go home the same day the cataract surgery takes place. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes per eye.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

Very quick result. Good experience overall. I would prefer this one anytime for any future problems.

I successfully underwent a Blade free Lasik surgery in October at Sardana Eye Institute. Ofcourse, it was a nerve-racking situation for me ,however, the critical period was well handled by Dr. Jagmohan Sardana due to his expertise . As far as the condition of the hospital is concerned, it's well spruced, hygiene at its pinnacle and well equipped with necessary set of machinery and skills.
Sincere thanks to Dr. Jagmohan Sardana and his team for my successful completion of Lasik surgery.

KANIKA NIRULA

I recently (a week back) underwent LASIK surgery at Sardana Eye Institute, and I must say, my experience has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I stepped into the clinic to the post-operative follow-ups, every aspect of my journey towards better vision was handled with utmost care and professionalism.
The LASIK surgery itself was quick and painless. The surgical team was meticulous in their approach, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience throughout the procedure. Dr. Tushar Sardana, Girish Sir and the assisting staff constantly communicated with me during the surgery, which helped alleviate any nervousness.
I'll not say My results was beyond expectations as I was expecting a 100% clear vision post surgery,
but I can confidently say that my vision has dramatically improved. They made me understood that as I was having -8 diopter in my both eye which comparably consider as high power it can take up to a month to get 100% clear vision.
If you're considering LASIK or any other eye-related treatment, I wholeheartedly recommend Sardana Eye Institute.
Thank you, Dr. Tushar, Dr. Jagmohan and Girish sir, for giving me a new perspective on the world!
