Types of Eye Surgery Treatment

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
It is generally recommended when cataracts affect vision and daily activities.
Common options include phacoemulsification with monofocal IOL, toric IOL and selected premium multifocal or trifocal lenses.
Cataract surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia and is commonly a short procedure.

Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma treatment aims to reduce eye pressure or improve drainage to help protect the optic nerve.
Treatment can include eye drops, laser treatment or glaucoma surgery, depending on the type and severity of glaucoma.
Surgical options can include trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).
Long-term follow-up is important because glaucoma requires ongoing monitoring.

Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery can correct selected vision problems such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism.
Common procedures include LASIK, Femto-LASIK, PRK and SMILE, depending on eligibility.
The laser reshapes the cornea to change how light focuses on the retina.
A detailed eye examination is necessary before deciding whether laser vision correction is suitable.

Squint Eye Surgery

Squint surgery, also called strabismus surgery, is used to improve the alignment of the eyes.
The procedure involves adjusting the muscles that control eye movement.
It may be recommended for selected children or adults when other treatments are unsuitable or have not corrected the problem.
Squint surgery is commonly performed as a day procedure.

Cataract cost can change significantly depending on the IOL lens type selected. Current published 2026 India ranges show standard cataract surgery from around ₹17,000, with premium lens options reaching ₹1,40,000 or more.
Laser, glaucoma and squint surgery costs also vary according to technology, surgeon, hospital, diagnostic tests and complexity.
International patients should obtain an itemised treatment quotation before travelling.

Who May Need Eye Surgery?

People with cataracts causing blurred or reduced vision.
Patients with glaucoma whose eye pressure or optic nerve damage requires laser or surgical treatment.
Suitable adults with refractive errors who want laser vision correction after specialist assessment.
Children or adults with squint or eye misalignment when surgery is clinically recommended.
Patients whose vision problems interfere with reading, driving, work or everyday activities.
The decision should always be based on a complete examination by an ophthalmologist.

Before Eye Surgery

Complete eye examination and vision assessment.
Measurement of eye pressure where required.
Corneal mapping and thickness assessment before suitable laser procedures.
Biometry and lens measurements before cataract surgery.
Assessment of the optic nerve and visual field for glaucoma.
Evaluation of eye alignment and eye muscles for squint surgery.
Review of medical history, medicines and allergies.
Discussion of the recommended procedure, expected recovery and possible risks.
International patients should carry previous eye reports, prescriptions, scans and medical records.

During Eye Surgery

The procedure depends on the specific eye condition.
Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and inserting an artificial IOL.
Glaucoma surgery may improve fluid drainage or reduce eye pressure.
Laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea using controlled laser energy.
Squint surgery adjusts selected eye muscles to improve eye alignment.
Many ophthalmic procedures are performed under local or topical anaesthesia, while some procedures may require general anaesthesia.
The procedure length varies according to the treatment and individual condition.

After Eye Surgery and Recovery

Use prescribed eye drops and medicines exactly as instructed.
Attend scheduled follow-up examinations.
Avoid rubbing or pressing the operated eye.
Follow instructions regarding bathing, swimming, exercise and driving.
Temporary redness, watering, irritation or blurred vision may occur after some procedures.
Recovery differs significantly between cataract, glaucoma, laser and squint surgery.
Glaucoma patients generally require ongoing eye-pressure and optic-nerve monitoring.
Contact the treating hospital urgently if there is severe eye pain, sudden vision loss, significant swelling, increasing redness or other concerning symptoms.
