Cataract Surgery – Restore Your Clear Vision
Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre – Best Cataract Hospital in Kolkata
Are you experiencing blurred vision, glare while driving at night, or fading colors?
These may be signs of cataract – one of the most common causes of vision loss worldwide.
The good news is that modern cataract surgery is safe, painless, and highly effective in restoring vision.
What is a Cataract?
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, blocking light from focusing clearly on the retina.
It is mostly age-related but can also happen due to diabetes, eye injury, steroid use, or genetics.
If left untreated, cataracts can gradually lead to severe vision loss.
At the Best Cataract Hospital in Kolkata, our experts ensure early diagnosis and advanced treatment for long-term visual clarity.
Common Symptoms of Cataract
- Blurry, cloudy, or dim vision
- Trouble seeing at night or in low light
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- Seeing halos around lights
- Colors appearing faded or yellowish
- Frequent changes in glasses power
If you notice these symptoms, visit Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre – the Best Cataract Hospital in Kolkata – for a comprehensive eye evaluation.

Treatments
Consult your eye doctor to see if surgery is the best course of action for you. When your cataracts start to hinder your quality of life, the majority of eye physicians advise you to think about having cataract surgery. Your capacity to carry out regular tasks, including reading or driving at night, may fall under this category.
Cataracts often do not cause visual impairments, thus most people do not feel a pressing need to have them removed. However, some people's cataracts can worsen more quickly than others. These consist of obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Precautions
Discuss if surgery is the best course of action for you with your eye doctor. When your quality of life starts to suffer due to cataracts, the majority of eye physicians advise you to think about having cataract surgery. This could involve your capacity to carry out regular tasks like reading or nighttime driving.
Because cataracts often don't damage the eyes, most people don't feel the need to have them removed right away. However, some people may see a rapid worsening of cataracts. Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are a few of these.

Before Surgery
How you prepare for Cataract Surgery
- Consultation: Make an appointment with a Susrut specialist for a thorough eye examination.
- Review of Medication: Talk about any medications you take that might have an impact on the process.
- Contact Lens Hiatus: As directed, stop wearing contact lenses to give your corneas time to revert to their normal form.
- Organize Transportation: Make plans for a driver to accompany you home after treatment.
- Avoid Eye cosmetics: The day before and the day of the treatment, avoid using any creams, cosmetics, or lotions near your eyes.
During the Surgery
How you prepare for Cataract Surgery
Because cataract surgery is a short (outpatient) procedure, you can return home in about an hour the same day. Typically, the entire process from admission to discharge from the hospital takes two to three hours.
After the Surgery
How you prepare for Cataract Surgery
- Only take the prescriptions as directed by a doctor, and abide by the guidelines. Don't take any more medications without first checking with the hospital.
- Notify your eye doctor right away if you experience any pain, light sensitivity, wetness, or redness in the operated eye.
- Don't skip the follow-up meeting.
