Cataract
Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure worldwide, and for good reason! Cataracts, a natural part of aging where the eye's lens clouds over, affect millions. Just like a camera lens, a clear lens in your eye is essential for sharp vision. When this lens becomes cloudy, it's like looking through a foggy window.
While cataracts typically develop between the ages of 60 and 75, they can occur earlier or later. The good news is that modern cataract surgery offers a safe and effective solution. At Uma Eye Clinic, we're committed to providing the most advanced techniques and personalized care to restore your clear vision.
Advanced Technology for Enhanced Precision
We offer the latest advancement in cataract surgery – the Femtosecond laser. This computer-guided laser technology adds unparalleled precision to key steps of the procedure. It allows for:
Precise incisions: Creating perfectly shaped incisions in the cornea for optimal healing and astigmatism correction.
Gentle lens fragmentation: Breaking up the cataract into tiny pieces with less ultrasound energy, minimizing inflammation and promoting faster recovery.
Customized treatment: Tailoring the procedure to your unique eye structure for the best possible visual outcome.
During cataract surgery, your cloudy natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). At Uma Eye Clinic, we offer a range of premium IOLs, including aspheric lenses, to address your specific visual needs and lifestyle:
Monofocal IOLs: These lenses provide clear vision at a single distance, usually far away. They are a great option for those who don't mind wearing glasses for reading or intermediate tasks.
Toric IOLs: If you have astigmatism, toric IOLs can correct this condition, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses for distance vision.
EDOF IOLs (Extended Depth of Focus): These lenses offer an extended range of vision, allowing you to see clearly at both distance and intermediate ranges, such as computer work. They can reduce your need for glasses in many situations.
Trifocal IOLs: For the greatest freedom from glasses, trifocal IOLs provide clear vision at distance, intermediate, and near. This allows you to see clearly for most activities, including driving, reading, and using a computer.
Your Personalized Cataract Experience
At Uma Eye Clinic, we believe in a personalized approach to cataract surgery. We take the time to understand your visual needs and lifestyle goals. Our experienced surgeons will discuss the different IOL options with you and help you choose the best lens to achieve your desired vision.
What to Expect
Cataract surgery at Uma Eye Clinic is a quick and painless procedure performed under topical anesthesia (numbing eye drops). You'll be comfortable and awake throughout the surgery. Most patients experience a significant improvement in their vision immediately or within hours after the procedure.

Uma Eye Clinic is proud to acknowledge that Dr Arulmozhi Varman is a pioneer in the field of phacoemulsification cataract surgeries and also the earliest centre in South India to procure the Robotic Laser Cataract Surgery (Femto Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery – FLACS) for better than the best results. He also was amongst the first to implant the then recent Multifocal IOLs, Trifocal IOLs and Accomodating IOLs in this part of the country. Currently we are amongst the hospitals with the largest number of implantation of the modern Extended Depth of Focus IOLs (EDOF IOL).
