Advanced Cataract Surgery in Dubai

If you experience blurred or hazy vision, increased glare from lights, faded colours, difficulty reading even with glasses, or frequent changes to your prescription, a cataract assessment is recommended. Surgery is advised when cataracts begin to affect your daily quality of life like driving, reading, or recognising faces.

No. Cataract surgery at Vasan Eye Dubai is performed under topical anaesthesia (eye drops only) — no injections around the eye, no general anaesthesia. The procedure is entirely painless. Most patients feel mild pressure at most. Post-operatively, mild watering or light sensitivity is normal for 1–2 days and is easily managed with prescribed drops.

The surgical procedure itself takes 15–30 minutes per eye. Including pre-op preparation and post-op observation, plan to be at our facility for approximately 2–3 hours on the day of cataract surgery. You return home the same day.

The right IOL depends on your eye measurements, lifestyle, and visual goals. Monofocal lenses provide reliable distance vision but require reading glasses. Multifocal and EDOF lenses target spectacle independence at all distances. Toric IOLs correct astigmatism simultaneously. Your cataract surgeon will guide you through the best option at your assessment.

For patient safety, cataract surgery is typically performed on one eye at a time, with the second eye scheduled 1–2 weeks after the first has healed satisfactorily. This allows IOL adjustment for the second eye and ensures rapid bilateral rehabilitation.

No, cataracts do not return after the cloudy natural lens is removed. However, some patients may develop posterior capsule clouding months or years later, which can usually be treated with a quick YAG laser procedure.

Yes. Cataract surgery can be safely performed in diabetic patients with careful retinal evaluation and surgical planning. Additional retina screening and follow-up may be required depending on the severity of diabetic eye disease.

Many patients notice visual improvement within 24–48 hours after cataract surgery, although complete healing may take several weeks. Recovery instructions, eye drops, and follow-up schedules are provided after the procedure.

This depends on the type of intraocular lens selected and your eye condition. Some patients may still require glasses for reading or specific visual tasks, while premium multifocal or trifocal lenses may reduce dependence on spectacles.

Yes. Detailed treatment counselling, lens options, expected outcomes, and estimated cataract surgery costs are discussed before the procedure at Vasan Eye Dubai. Insurance coordination support is also available for eligible plans and approved providers.

Most patients can resume light daily activities within a few days after surgery. However, strenuous exercise, swimming, and eye rubbing are usually avoided for a short period during recovery.
