No stitches. No injections. No wait. See Clearly Again
in 10 Minutes.

No. We use anaesthetic eye drops — no injections around or behind the eye. You will feel slight pressure during the procedure but no pain. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable and quick it is.

The procedure itself takes approximately 10 minutes. You will spend around 2–3 hours at the hospital total for preparation, surgery, and a short recovery observation period before going home.

Typically, we operate on one eye at a time, allowing the first eye to stabilise and giving you functional vision during recovery. The second eye is usually done 1–2 weeks later, once the surgeon confirms the first is healing well.

Many patients notice improved brightness and clarity the very next morning. Vision continues to stabilise over 4–6 weeks. A final spectacle prescription is given after the eye has fully settled.

This depends on the lens you choose. With a Monofocal IOL, you will likely need reading glasses. With a premium Trifocal or EDoF lens, most patients achieve functional independence from glasses for most daily activities.

Yes. The intraocular lens is designed to remain in your eye for life. It does not wear out, does not need replacement, and cannot be felt. Once it is in, you never need to think about it again.

In some patients (roughly 10–20%), the thin membrane behind the IOL can become cloudy months or years after surgery — called Posterior Capsule Opacification. A simple, painless 5-minute laser procedure (YAG capsulotomy) instantly clears this. It is not a complication of the surgery itself.

No. Cataract surgery at Madhavi Netralaya is a day-care procedure. You arrive in the morning, have your surgery, rest briefly, and return home the same day. No overnight stay is required.
