Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is cataract surgery safe?

Yes. Modern cataract surgery is safe, minimally invasive, and offers rapid recovery.

How long does cataract surgery take?

Usually between 15–30 minutes. Patients are discharged the same day.

Will I need glasses after surgery?

Most patients see clearly post-surgery, though some may need reading glasses.

Can children have eye conditions like cataracts or squint?

Yes. Early detection and timely treatment are key in children.

Is glaucoma curable?

Glaucoma can be controlled but not cured. Regular treatment prevents vision loss.

How often should I have my eyes checked?

Every 1–2 years, or annually if diabetic or over 60.

Is eye strain from screens harmful?

Long screen time can lead to dry eyes and blurred vision. Regular breaks and eye care reduce risk.

Can vision problems indicate other health issues?

Yes. Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or neurological disorders often affect vision.

Is eye care important even if I have no symptoms?

Yes. Many serious eye conditions develop silently and can be prevented with regular exams.
