Dr. Gala’s Cataract Operation Approach
Every cataract operation at Dr. Gala’s clinic follows a structured pathway:
Phase 1: Comprehensive Evaluation (45-60 min)
Detailed history, complete eye examination, OCT scanning, corneal topography, optical biometry with multiple IOL calculation formulas, and discussion of your visual goals and lifestyle needs.
Phase 2: Personalized Planning (15-20 min)
Dr. Gala explains your cataract type, recommends surgical technique (phaco/MICS/FLACS), discusses IOL options (monofocal/multifocal/trifocal/toric/EDOF), and provides a detailed cost estimate. You make an informed decision with expert guidance.
Phase 3: Pre-Operative Preparation
Eye drops started 2-3 days before surgery. Insurance pre-authorization processed. Instructions provided regarding medications, diet, and logistics.
Phase 4: Surgery Day (2-3 hours at clinic)
Registration, pupil dilation, final verification, surgery (15-20 minutes), post-operative observation, medication instructions, and discharge with protective shield.
Phase 5: Recovery & Follow-up
Day 1, week 1, and month 1 follow-ups to monitor healing, check vision, and optimize outcomes. Direct phone access to Dr. Gala for any concerns.
This systematic approach ensures consistent excellence across every patient, every time.
Technology That Defines the Best

Diagnostic Suite: Spectral-domain OCT for retinal evaluation, Pentacam corneal topography for astigmatism mapping, IOLMaster 700 optical biometry with advanced formulas (Barrett, Hill-RBF, Olsen), digital slit-lamp photography for documentation, and automated perimetry when indicated.
Surgical Armamentarium: Advanced phacoemulsification system with torsional/handpiece technology for efficient cataract removal, femtosecond laser for bladeless capsulotomy and lens fragmentation, operating microscope with excellent optics and video integration, and intraoperative aberrometry for real-time IOL power confirmation.
IOL Portfolio: AcrySof IQ monofocal, Tecnis multifocal, AcrySof PanOptix trifocal, Tecnis Symfony EDOF, toric versions of premium lenses, and specialized lenses for complex cases. This range ensures every patient receives the optimal IOL for their needs.
