Do you experience blurry or cloudy vision? If yes, it is important to consult an eye specialist immediately. Cataract (मोतियाबिंद in Hindi / ਮੋਤੀਆਬਿੰਦ in Punjabi) is the clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which leads to hazy vision, difficulty in reading, glare, and trouble driving at night.
While cataract commonly affects the elderly, it can also occur in younger adults and, in rare cases, even in newborn babies. The only proven treatment is Cataract Surgery (मोतियाबिंद ਦਾ ਓਪਰੇਸ਼ਨ), where the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial Intraocular Lens (IOL).
At Vasu Eye Institute, Bathinda, our experienced ophthalmologists have successfully treated patients of all age groups using advanced techniques including AI-guided Callisto Cataract Suite, and premium IOL lenses. This ensures safe surgery, faster recovery, and sharper vision.
Early Cataract (मोतियाबिंद / ਮੋਤੀਆਬਿੰਦ) symptoms are often ignored, but timely diagnosis is critical.
Common signs include:
If you notice these symptoms, consult an eye specialist immediately. At Vasu Eye Institute, Bathinda, our cataract specialists use advanced diagnostics to detect cataract at an early stage, ensuring better treatment outcomes.
1. Phacoemulsification (Standard Cataract Removal with IOL Implant):
This is the most common and widely trusted cataract surgery technique. A tiny incision of about 2.8 mm is made in the cornea, through which an ultrasonic probe breaks the cloudy cataract into fine fragments. These are then removed, and an intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted. The surgery is stitch-less, safe, and ensures quick recovery with improved vision.
2. Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS):
MICS uses an even smaller incision of 1.8–2.2 mm. The reduced incision size further minimises trauma to the eye, speeds up healing, and provides added comfort. The advanced technique ensures faster recovery and reduces postoperative complications, making it a preferred option for many patients.
3. AI-Guided Cataract Surgery with Callisto Suite:
At Vasu Eye Institute, we have adopted Callisto AI technology, a next-generation advancement in cataract surgery. This AI-powered system provides real-time guidance to the surgeon, ensuring pinpoint precision in incision placement, IOL alignment, and astigmatism correction. It reduces the chance of human error and delivers more predictable, sharper visual outcomes. AI-guided surgery sets new standards in safety, accuracy, and patient satisfaction.

Advanced technologies have revolutionized cataract surgery, making it safer, more precise, and faster than ever before. At Vasu Eye Institute & Skin Centre, we leverage the latest innovations to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. Here’s a look at some of the advanced tools and systems we use in cataract surgery:
Phacoemulsification is a trusted method for cataract removal, where ultrasound waves break down the cloudy lens for easy removal. The Intuitive Phaco System by Johnson & Johnson is an advanced phacoemulsification device designed to improve precision, safety, and efficiency during surgery. This system uses sophisticated settings that allow the surgeon to customize each procedure, minimizing energy use and protecting delicate eye tissues.
The Zeiss Callisto cataract surgery suite is a cutting-edge digital platform that supports real-time guidance during surgery. Integrated seamlessly with other advanced tools, the Callisto suite provides high-definition imaging, digital marketing, and alignment support, ensuring exact positioning of intraocular lenses (IOLs) and precise surgical outcomes. This system’s ability to enhance every step of the cataract surgery process sets a new standard in patient safety and satisfaction.
Precision is crucial in cataract surgery, and the Ziess Lumera Microscope, Germany, provides enhanced visibility for surgeons. This high-powered microscope allows for detailed visualization of the eye’s internal structures, facilitating intricate maneuvers during surgery. Its ergonomic design and optical clarity help surgeons achieve accurate results, contributing to faster patient recovery and improved visual outcomes.
For precise measurements and intraocular lens (IOL) calculations, the IOL Master 700 from Zeiss is a cutting-edge optical biometer. This device enables surgeons to determine the exact lens power needed for each patient, ensuring excellent visual outcomes post-surgery. With its non-invasive approach, the IOL Master 700 enhances patient comfort and supports highly accurate results, particularly beneficial in complex cases.
The Nidek AL Scan is an advanced optical biometer that calculates key eye measurements necessary for effective cataract surgery. By measuring axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth, the AL Scan assists in selecting the best IOL for each patient, resulting in personalized and accurate refractive outcomes. The technology’s speed and precision also streamline the pre-surgery evaluation process.
Following cataract surgery, some patients may develop posterior capsule opacification, which can cloud vision. The Nd: YAG laser is a specialized tool used to perform a capsulotomy, creating a small opening in the cloudy capsule behind the lens. This non-invasive laser procedure is quick, painless, and restores clarity, enhancing the results of cataract surgery.
It ranges from ₹15,000 for a standard monofocal lens to ₹80,000 for premium trifocal or EDOF lenses.
The “best” lens depends on your lifestyle, visual needs, and budget. Options include monofocal, toric, multifocal, trifocal, and EDOF lenses.
A: Yes, monofocal IOLs are covered. Premium lenses may not be fully covered.
Most patients notice improved vision within 24–48 hours. Full recovery usually takes 2–4 weeks depending on the type of surgery and lens implant.
Yes. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens with a clear intraocular lens (IOL), significantly improving vision. Many patients achieve sharper, brighter, and clearer sight.
Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the eye’s cloudy natural lens (cataract) and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) for restored vision.
Minimal rest is required. Patients can resume light activities within 1–2 days but should avoid heavy lifting, bending, or rubbing the eyes for at least a week.
Cataract surgery is not age-dependent. It should be done when cataracts affect daily activities like reading, driving, or watching TV, usually after age 50–60.
Yes. You can watch TV within 24–48 hours post-surgery, but it’s important to avoid strain and follow your doctor’s guidance.
In India, cataract surgery costs range between ₹25,000 and ₹1,20,000 depending on the type of surgery (Phaco, MICS, AI-guided), hospital, and lens selected.
The most common cause is aging. Other risk factors include diabetes, eye injury, smoking, prolonged UV exposure, and long-term steroid use.
Yes, in early stages. Glasses and brighter lighting may help, but surgery is the only permanent treatment once vision is significantly impaired.
No. Cataract surgery is painless. It is usually done with topical anesthesia (eye drops). Patients may feel mild pressure, but no pain.
