Advanced bladeless phacoemulsification cataract surgery with premium IOL options. Day-care procedure — go home the same day with clear vision. Serving patients from Kapurthala and 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 Waiting for the cataract to "ripen" is an outdated concept.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.
Here is what patients from Kapurthala can expect when they come to us for cataract surgery:
Comprehensive eye evaluation including visual acuity, slit lamp, IOP measurement, fundus examination and retinal OCT if needed.
IOL Master biometry calculates the exact power of your replacement lens. You choose from monofocal, multifocal, extended depth of focus, or toric IOLs.
Blood tests, ECG, and physician fitness certificate are arranged. Our team coordinates everything so you do not have to run around.
Arrive fasting in the morning. Surgery takes 10–15 minutes per eye under topical anaesthesia (eye drops). No injection, no stitch, no pain.
Discharged 2–3 hours after surgery with an eye shield. Start eye drops the same evening. Most patients see clearly by next morning.
Review appointments at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month. Final glasses prescription given at 6 weeks. Total recovery in 4–6 weeks.
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:
Standard IOL providing sharp distance vision. Most affordable option. Glasses may still be needed for reading. Suitable for most patients from Kapurthala.
Premium IOL providing clear vision at distance, intermediate, and near. Significantly reduces dependence on glasses for most daily activities.
Corrects astigmatism simultaneously during cataract surgery. Ideal for patients from Kapurthala who have cylindrical power in addition to cataract.
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.
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.
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.
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.
