Proteins in your eye lens can break down and cause images to appear hazy, blurry, hazy or less colourful leading to cataract. Majority of the cataracts develop slowly and don’t affect the eyesight during the initial stage. However, if it is left untreated, it could lead to catastrophic complications like permanent loss of vision (blindness).
Therefore, knowing the suitable cataract treatment options and availing the perfect cataract treatment in Mumbai becomes essential for a healthy eye. By connecting with House of Doctors you can get rid of cataract in no time.
What is Cataract?
A cloudy, dense area that develops in the lens of the eye and interferes with the normal vision is called cataract. It is formed when the proteins in the eye form clumps that stop the lens from forming clear images on the retina.
Cataracts never occur instantly. They develop gradually, over a period of time. You can have cataracts in one or both eyes, but usually they don’t develop at the same time.
Cataracts are usually removed surgically through outpatient procedures performed at House of Doctors. Our diversified cataract surgery in Mumbai ensures that you receive complete ophthalmic care.

Laser Treatment for Cataract at House of Doctors
House of Doctors always aims at providing new treatments for cataract like our present laser eye surgery for cataract. Laser treatment method is the most trusted and most advanced surgical option available at HOD.
Cataract surgery in Mumbai has been taken to a futuristic level by the House of Doctors. Once our surgeon thoroughly analyses your symptoms, femtosecond laser surgery is used to treat your cataract.
In the process, primary and side port clear corneal incisions are made using a femtosecond laser. The incisions have perfect configuration and depth as created by our surgeon. Further, these incisions are self healing.
Femtosecond laser helps in creating a precise capsular opening (capsulorhexis) of the desired diameter having a perfectly circular outline. The laser energy is then used to break the cataract into minute pieces. Femtosecond laser fragments the nucleus, and soften it for a safer and smoother surgery. Our surgeon then places IOL at the precise location. At House of Doctors, our cataract experts use premium lenses like Symphony, multifocal and Trifocal lenses.
The preciseness of the laser beam makes femtosecond laser surgery much safer and successful than the conventional phacoemulsification.
