5. Complete Guide to Cataract Surgery by Dr. Jignesh Gala

Cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens and is the most common cause of treatable blindness. Dr. Gala performs phacoemulsification cataract surgery — a stitchless, micro-incision procedure that takes just 10-15 minutes.

Types of IOLs Available at Crystal Clear Eye Clinic

• Monofocal IOLs: Clear vision at one distance, most affordable
• Multifocal IOLs: Reduced dependence on glasses for all distances
• Toric IOLs: Correct pre-existing astigmatism
• EDOF IOLs: Extended depth of focus with minimal halos

The procedure is performed under topical anesthesia (eye drops only). Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours. The Bausch + Lomb Stellaris and Alcon LEGION systems ensure unmatched safety and precision.
