Cataract Surgery in Mumbai
Dr. Nikhil Nasta
4 min read
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of blurred vision after the age of 40. If you are experiencing cloudy vision, glare while driving at night, faded colors, or difficulty reading even with glasses, you may need cataract surgery.
At I-Sight Eye Care, we provide advanced cataract surgery in Mumbai using modern micro-incision techniques and premium intraocular lenses designed to restore clear, sharp vision with faster recovery.
What Is a Cataract?
A cataract is the natural clouding of the eye’s lens. The lens, which is normally clear, becomes opaque over time due to aging, diabetes, steroid use, injury, or genetics.
Symptoms include:
- Blurred or foggy vision
- Glare or halos around lights
- Difficulty driving at night
- Frequent changes in glasses power
- Washed-out colors
Cataracts do not improve with medicines or eye drops. The only effective treatment is surgery. For patients unsure whether their symptoms are cataract or something else, a complete evaluation is available here: Consult
When Should Cataract Surgery Be Done?
Modern cataract surgery is no longer delayed until vision becomes extremely poor. You should consider surgery when:
- Vision interferes with daily activities
- You struggle with reading or mobile screens
- Driving at night feels unsafe
- Your glasses no longer help
Delaying surgery unnecessarily can make the cataract harder and slightly increase surgical complexity.
Types of Cataract Surgery in Mumbai
1. Phacoemulsification (Micro Incision Surgery)
The most common and advanced technique. A tiny incision is made, the cataract is emulsified using ultrasound, and replaced with a foldable lens.
- No stitches
- Quick recovery
- Minimal discomfort
- Day-care procedure
2. Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Femtosecond laser improves precision in certain cases.
3. Premium IOL Cataract Surgery
We offer:
- Monofocal lenses
- Multifocal lenses
- EDOF lenses
- Trifocal lenses

Which Lens Is Best For You?
Lens selection depends on:
- Lifestyle
- Reading habits
- Night driving needs
- Budget
- Presence of other eye conditions
Monofocal lenses give clear distance vision but require reading glasses. Multifocal and trifocal lenses reduce dependence on glasses. EDOF lenses provide extended range with fewer halos in selected patients.
