Cataract Surgery at Brar Eye Hospital for Patients from Kapurthala

Cataract is the leading cause of preventable blindness in India, and a significant number of patients from Kapurthala and Kapurthala district suffer from this condition without seeking timely treatment. At Brar Eye Hospital, we have performed over 50,000 successful cataract surgeries with outstanding visual outcomes, making us one of the most trusted cataract surgery centres in Punjab.

A cataract occurs when the natural crystalline lens of the eye becomes cloudy over time, causing blurred vision, glare sensitivity, difficulty reading, and eventually severe visual impairment. The only effective treatment is surgical removal of the clouded lens and replacement with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Thanks to modern phacoemulsification technology, this is now a 10–15 minute procedure performed under topical anaesthesia (eye drops only — no injections), with no stitches and no hospital admission.

Patients from Kapurthala who have been diagnosed with cataract — or suspect they may have one — should not delay. Waiting for the cataract to "ripen" is an outdated concept. Modern surgery can be performed at any stage of cataract development, and earlier surgery often means better outcomes. Our cataract specialists will guide you on the right time to proceed based on how much the cataract is affecting your daily life.

The Cataract Surgery Process – Step by Step

Here is what patients from Kapurthala can expect when they come to us for cataract surgery:

1

Consultation & Eye Exam

Comprehensive eye evaluation including visual acuity, slit lamp, IOP measurement, fundus examination and retinal OCT if needed.

2

Biometry & IOL Selection

IOL Master biometry calculates the exact power of your replacement lens. You choose from monofocal, multifocal, extended depth of focus, or toric IOLs.

3

Pre-operative Tests

Blood tests, ECG, and physician fitness certificate are arranged. Our team coordinates everything so you do not have to run around.

4

Surgery Day

Arrive fasting in the morning. Surgery takes 10–15 minutes per eye under topical anaesthesia (eye drops). No injection, no stitch, no pain.

5

Recovery

Discharged 2–3 hours after surgery with an eye shield. Start eye drops the same evening. Most patients see clearly by next morning.

6

Follow-up

Review appointments at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month. Final glasses prescription given at 6 weeks. Total recovery in 4–6 weeks.

Premium IOL Options Available at Brar Eye Hospital

One of the most important decisions in cataract surgery is the choice of IOL (Intraocular Lens). Patients from Kapurthala can choose from a wide range of IOL options at our centre:

Monofocal IOL

Standard IOL providing sharp distance vision. Most affordable option. Glasses may still be needed for reading. Suitable for most patients from Kapurthala.

Multifocal IOL

Premium IOL providing clear vision at distance, intermediate, and near. Significantly reduces dependence on glasses for most daily activities.

Toric IOL

Corrects astigmatism simultaneously during cataract surgery. Ideal for patients from Kapurthala who have cylindrical power in addition to cataract.

EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus)

Latest generation IOL providing continuous range of vision with minimal halos and glare. Excellent for active patients who want spectacle-free lifestyle.

Our cataract surgeons will explain all IOL options during your consultation and recommend the best choice based on your lifestyle, profession, and eye health. We use ALCON, Zeiss, and Johnson & Johnson IOLs — the world's leading brands.

Technology We Use for Cataract Surgery

ALCON Centurion Phacoemulsification System

We use the ALCON Centurion Active Sentry system — the world's most advanced phacoemulsification platform. It features real-time IOP management, intelligent power modulation, and advanced fluidics that make surgery safer and faster for our patients from Kapurthala. The system minimises corneal and posterior capsule damage, resulting in faster visual recovery and fewer complications.

IOL Master Biometry

Accurate IOL power calculation is critical for post-operative visual satisfaction. We use the ZEISS IOL Master 700 with SS-OCT technology for highly accurate biometry measurements, ensuring our patients from Kapurthala achieve their target refraction with precision.

Topical Anaesthesia (No Injection)

We perform cataract surgery under topical anaesthesia — meaning only numbing eye drops are used. There are no injections around the eye, making the experience completely pain-free. Most patients from Kapurthala are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cataract Surgery for Kapurthala Patients

How much does cataract surgery cost for patients from Kapurthala?
The cost of cataract surgery at Brar Eye Hospital is transparent and affordable, making it accessible to all patients from Kapurthala. The cost varies depending on the IOL chosen — standard monofocal IOLs are the most affordable, while premium multifocal and toric IOLs cost more. We are empanelled under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) for eligible patients, meaning surgery may be entirely free of cost. Please call us at +91 72182-72182 for current pricing details and insurance coverage information.
Is cataract surgery in both eyes done on the same day?
At Brar Eye Hospital, we typically recommend operating one eye at a time, with the second eye done after the first eye has healed (usually 1–3 weeks later). This is the safest protocol for patients from Kapurthala and worldwide. In some selected cases, bilateral simultaneous surgery may be considered, which our doctors will advise based on your specific situation.
What are the risks of cataract surgery?
Modern phacoemulsification cataract surgery at Brar Eye Hospital has a very high safety profile with a complication rate of less than 1%. Possible risks include posterior capsule rupture, infection (endophthalmitis — very rare), and refractive surprises. Our experienced surgical team and sterile OT protocols minimise these risks significantly. We have handled thousands of complex cataract cases from patients across Punjab with excellent outcomes.
How long does recovery take after cataract surgery?
Most patients from Kapurthala experience clear, improved vision within 24–48 hours of surgery. You will need to use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops for 4–6 weeks. Activities like reading, watching TV, and light walking can be resumed the next day. Heavy lifting, swimming, and rubbing the eye should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Final spectacle prescription is given at 6 weeks post-surgery once the eye has fully stabilised.
Can I travel from Kapurthala on the same day as cataract surgery?
We recommend patients from Kapurthala arrange to stay overnight in Bathinda/Kotkapura for their first post-operative review the next morning. Our team will guide you on follow-up visits — we try to minimise the number of trips you need to make from Kapurthala by combining review appointments efficiently. After the 1-day review, most subsequent checks can be done locally if needed.
