Is cataract surgery painful?

No. Anaesthetic eye drops numb the eye — no injections around or behind the eye. You may feel slight pressure but no pain. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable and quick the procedure is.

How long does cataract surgery take?

The procedure itself takes approximately 10 minutes. Plan around 2–3 hours at the hospital for preparation, surgery, and a short recovery observation before going home the same day.

Can both eyes be operated on the same day?

Typically one eye is done at a time so the first eye can stabilise. The second eye is usually scheduled 1–2 weeks later once healing is confirmed.

When will vision improve after cataract surgery?

Many patients notice improved brightness and clarity the next morning. Vision continues to stabilise over 4–6 weeks before a final spectacle prescription is given.

Will I still need glasses after cataract surgery?

It depends on the intraocular lens (IOL). Monofocal IOLs usually require reading glasses. Premium trifocal or EDoF lenses can reduce dependence on glasses for most daily activities.

Is the IOL permanent?

Yes. The intraocular lens is designed to remain in your eye for life. It does not wear out and cannot be felt once implanted.

What is YAG capsulotomy? Will I need it?

In roughly 10–20% of patients, the membrane behind the IOL can become cloudy months or years later (posterior capsule opacification). A painless 5-minute YAG laser clears this instantly on our Zeiss CombiLASER platform.

Do I need hospital admission for cataract surgery?

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

Do you offer no-dilation retina scans?

Yes. Our Zeiss Clarus 700 ultra-widefield camera captures up to 200° of the retina in high definition without dilation drops — so you can drive home with clear vision after your scan.

How often should a diabetic patient have a retina check?

Every diabetic patient should have a retina scan at least once a year — or more often if diabetic retinopathy is already present. Many patients have significant retinal changes with no symptoms.

Do you offer intravitreal injections at Madhavi Netralaya?

Yes. We provide intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (Ranibizumab, Aflibercept, Brolucizumab) and Ozurdex steroid implant for wet AMD, diabetic macular oedema, and retinal vein occlusion — as quick outpatient procedures.

What is Green Laser therapy for retina conditions?

Our Zeiss CombiLASER 532 nm Green Laser is used for pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy, barrage laser for retinal tears, and focal laser for macular oedema — all as outpatient procedures.

What does an anti-VEGF injection feel like?

The eye is numbed with anaesthetic drops first. Most patients feel only mild pressure. The procedure takes under 5 minutes. Mild redness may occur for a day or two afterward.

Can diabetic retinopathy be cured?

It cannot be fully reversed, but progression can be slowed or halted with regular monitoring, Green Laser, and intravitreal injections. Early detection before irreversible damage is the key.

I see new floaters and flashes — is this an emergency?

Sudden new floaters with flashes of light may indicate a retinal tear or detachment. Seek evaluation within 24 hours. Call 1800-571-9090 for urgent guidance.

Will I need time off work after a retina injection?

Most patients resume normal activities the same or next day. Avoid swimming and heavy exercise for 24 hours. Driving is usually possible once the eye feels comfortable.

Can glaucoma be cured?

Glaucoma cannot currently be cured, but it can be controlled. With early diagnosis and treatment, most patients retain good functional vision for life. The goal is to prevent further damage.

How does SLT laser work for glaucoma?

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) uses low-energy laser pulses to stimulate the trabecular meshwork — improving fluid outflow and reducing eye pressure. It is painless, takes about 10 minutes, and can reduce or eliminate daily drops.

Will I need glaucoma drops for life?

Not necessarily. SLT can achieve pressure reduction equivalent to first-line drops in many patients. Some may eventually need drops again, but SLT provides durable control for 5+ years in a significant proportion.

What glaucoma surgeries are available at Madhavi Netralaya?

We offer SLT laser, YAG peripheral iridotomy, BANG (minimally invasive angle goniotomy), GATT, trabeculectomy, and cryoablation for end-stage painful eyes — selected based on glaucoma type and severity.

My family member has glaucoma. Should I be screened?

First-degree family history increases your risk roughly 4–9 times. We recommend a baseline work-up including pressure measurement, HFA visual field testing, and OCT RNFL even if your vision feels normal.

Is the HFA visual field test uncomfortable?

No. You sit at the machine, focus on a central point, and press a button when you see a flashing light. It takes 5–10 minutes per eye and is completely non-invasive.

Is LASIK painful?

No. Anaesthetic drops completely numb the eye. You may feel slight pressure for a few seconds during flap creation, but there is no pain. Most patients find the experience quick and comfortable.

What is the difference between LASIK and ICL?

LASIK reshapes the cornea with a laser. ICL implants a lens inside the eye without removing corneal tissue — preferred for high powers, thin corneas, or when reversibility is desired.

Can I get LASIK if my power is very high (more than −8)?

High powers require more corneal tissue removal, which may not be safe if the cornea is thin. ICL is often the preferred solution for powers up to −20.

Will my power come back after LASIK or ICL?

In well-screened patients with stable pre-operative refraction, regression is minimal. Most maintain excellent vision for many years. Enhancement may be possible if clinically appropriate.

How long before I can return to work after LASIK?

Most patients return to desk work within 1–2 days. Avoid contact sport and swimming for 4 weeks. PRK recovery takes 1–2 weeks for vision to stabilise.

Am I too old for LASIK at 35 or 40?

LASIK and ICL are suitable through the late 30s and early 40s if power is stable and corneas are healthy. Presbyopia (reading vision changes) will be factored into lens selection and target power.

Can keratoconus be cured by corneal cross-linking (CXL)?

CXL does not reverse keratoconus — it halts progression. Early treatment typically preserves more functional vision long-term. Glasses or contact lenses address residual refractive error once stable.

Is a pterygium dangerous?

A small stable pterygium can be monitored. Surgical excision is recommended if it grows toward the visual centre, causes astigmatism, persistent irritation, or cosmetic concern.

I wear contact lenses — am I at risk for corneal infection?

Contact lens wearers have elevated risk of Acanthamoeba and bacterial keratitis, especially with overnight wear, expired lenses, or tap water storage. Sudden pain, redness, or blur is an emergency.

How long is recovery after pterygium surgery?

Light activities within 1–2 weeks. The eye may appear red for several weeks. Vision typically stabilises at 4–6 weeks.

Can a corneal scar be removed?

Superficial scars may be partially treated with excimer laser (PTK). Dense central scars may require corneal transplantation — we assess each case individually.

My teenager's glasses power keeps changing — could it be keratoconus?

Progressive asymmetric power change in teens or young adults is a warning sign. Corneal topography confirms or rules it out. Early CXL is most effective before significant thinning.

What is IDRA dry eye screening?

IDRA is a digital dry eye analyser that measures tear film quality, lipid layer, and meibomian gland function — helping us classify dry eye type and plan targeted treatment rather than generic drops alone.

Can dry eye be cured permanently?

Dry eye is often a chronic condition, but symptoms can be well controlled with a structured plan — heat therapy, punctal plugs, prescription drops, and lifestyle changes for screen-related strain.

What is computer vision syndrome (CVS)?

CVS is eye strain from prolonged screen use — dryness, blur, headache, and fatigue. We assess tear film and focusing muscle balance and recommend tailored therapy including breaks, glasses, and dry eye treatment.

What are punctal plugs for dry eye?

Tiny plugs placed in the tear drainage openings to keep natural tears on the eye surface longer. They are quick, reversible, and effective for aqueous-deficient dry eye.

My eye has been watering for years — is DCR the right treatment?

Persistent watering from a blocked nasolacrimal duct does not resolve with drops alone. Syringing confirms blockage. DCR — conventional or endoscopic — is the definitive surgical treatment with high success rates.

What is the difference between endoscopic DCR and conventional DCR?

Both create a drainage pathway from the lacrimal sac to the nose. External DCR uses a small skin incision. Endoscopic DCR is performed through the nostril with no external scar and typically faster recovery.

Is endoscopic DCR painful?

It is done under anaesthesia. Mild nasal discomfort may occur for a few days postoperatively. Most patients return to normal activities within days.

Why is endoscopic DCR done with an ENT surgeon?

Endoscopic DCR requires precise nasal navigation. Our ophthalmology and ENT team (including Dr. Vibhor Malhotra) collaborate — ophthalmology manages lacrimal anatomy; ENT provides endoscopic expertise with Karl Storz equipment.

Should I consider ptosis (droopy eyelid) surgery if vision is not blocked?

Mild cosmetic ptosis may still cause brow ache or head tilt. We assess degree and discuss functional vs cosmetic goals before recommending surgery.

I have a lump on my eyelid for 3 months — what should I do?

A lump present more than 4–6 weeks without response to warm compresses is likely a chalazion. Incision and curettage under local anaesthesia resolves most cases. Recurrent chalazia need further evaluation.

How is childhood myopia monitored at Madhavi Netralaya?

We use Zeiss IOLMaster 700 axial length measurement — tracking eye growth over time for early myopia progression, beyond standard glasses power checks alone.

What myopia prevention options are available for children?

Strategies include myopia-control spectacles, outdoor time counselling, and therapeutic options based on age and progression rate — planned after full paediatric eye assessment.

What is Bynocs amblyopia therapy?

Bynocs is dichoptic digital therapy that trains both eyes to work together — used for amblyopia (lazy eye) in children when patching alone is insufficient or poorly tolerated.

Why is peripheral retina imaging important in children?

Zeiss Clarus 700 ultra-widefield imaging detects peripheral retinal pathology — relevant in high myopia, trauma history, or when symptoms suggest retinal concern — without routine dilation in many cases.
