Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the cloudy lens from your eye and replace it with a clear artificial lens. Over time, cataracts can develop and cause blurred vision or glare, making everyday tasks difficult. Dr Brighu Swamy uses modern techniques for a safe and effective procedure, so most patients experience improved vision soon after surgery. The operation is usually done as a day procedure, so you can return home the same day.

If you notice your vision becoming cloudy, colours looking dull or more difficulty with night driving, it may be time for an assessment. Dr Swamy will conduct a thorough eye examination and discuss your symptoms before recommending cataract surgery. Not everyone with cataracts needs immediate treatment, but when your vision starts to impact daily life, surgery can bring significant benefits.

Most people find recovery from cataract surgery straightforward. You may notice clearer vision within a few days, but it can take a couple of weeks for your eye to heal fully. Dr Swamy provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is smooth. It is important to avoid heavy lifting and to use eye drops as prescribed for the best result.
