At Nirmal’s Eye Hospital, Tambaram, our Cataract Services Department combines 32+ years of clinical excellence, advanced diagnostic systems, and highly experienced surgeons to deliver exceptional outcomes for every patient.
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens — similar to a fogged-up window that blocks light from entering clearly. Cataracts usually develop with age, but they can also be caused by
Every eye is unique — and so is every cataract. We offer the most advanced surgical techniques to suit your eye condition, lifestyle, and visual expectations.
A small (2.2–2.8 mm) incision technique that removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL)

1 Month: Final visual outcome achieved, full recovery complete
We use cutting-edge technology for precise diagnosis and optimal surgical outcomes
Blurred or cloudy vision often indicates changes within the eye, affecting clarity, comfort, and daily activities, and may require professional evaluation
Poor night vision reduces clarity in dim environments, making it harder to drive, walk safely, or recognize objects when light is limited.
Sensitivity to bright lights can cause discomfort, squinting, or headaches, making outdoor activities or exposure to sunlight challenging and tiring.
Seeing halos around headlights or bright lights can indicate vision disturbances, making night driving difficult and causing eye strain or discomfort
Dull or faded colours make everyday objects appear less vibrant, affecting visual clarity, reducing contrast, and sometimes indicating underlying eye conditions
Most patients see clearly within 24–48 hours. Complete vision stabilization typically takes 3–4 weeks. Using prescribed drops regularly helps speed up healing.
Cataract surgery is not painful; numbing eye drops keep you comfortable, and most patients feel only mild pressure or slight temporary discomfort.
Watch for sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, increased redness, light sensitivity, or persistent floaters—these warning signs need immediate medical attention.
