FAQs

1. Is eye surgery highly dangerous?

Eye surgeries, such as cataract and glaucoma surgeries, are considered low-risk when performed by expert surgeons. Our experienced team uses advanced equipment like a Tonometer, glaucoma laser, Autorefractor, Phacoemulsification Machine, and Pachymeter to minimize risks and ensure successful outcomes.

2. How long does eye surgery last?

The procedure for eye surgery may take about 10 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the type and complications. Usually, the results of these eye surgeries are permanent. An example is cataract surgery, which permanently corrects vision unless other issues develop. However, some procedures, like LASIK, may need touch-ups after ten years, depending on the patient's condition.

3. What is the upper age limit for eye surgery?

Eye surgeries do not have a specific age limit. Our treatments are typically made to fit every patient's requirement, so every age group will be well cared for, from children and adults to seniors.

4. How painful is eye surgery?

Most eye surgeries are painless as anaesthetics are used. There may be minor discomfort following surgery, which can be easily managed by doctor-prescribed medications and after-care.

5. What happens if the surgery fails?

Eye surgery failure can result in visual disturbances, regression of vision correction, irregular astigmatism, or chronic dry eye. Our expert ophthalmologists are capable of providing corrective procedures, like LASIK, PRK, Small Incision Lenticule Extraction, Implantable Contact Lenses, Corneal Transplant (Keratoplasty), as well as solutions for the Management of Presbyopia.
