What to know

The essential details, without the sales language.

01

Start close to home

Consultations are available at Virar West and Virar East. Bring current spectacles, old prescriptions, medical history and insurance details.

The first visit is intended to confirm whether cataract is the main reason for reduced vision. The doctor may also examine the cornea, eye pressure, retina and optic nerve because another condition can change the treatment plan or expected improvement.

  • Dilated cataract assessment
  • Retina and eye-pressure review
  • Discussion of symptoms and daily visual needs
02

Plan the lens before surgery

Biometry, corneal measurements, eye health and your preferred visual target guide the IOL discussion.

Lens counselling should connect measurements with everyday priorities such as reading, computer work, night driving and willingness to use glasses. A higher-priced lens is not automatically the most suitable lens for a particular eye.

  • Monofocal and enhanced monofocal
  • Toric correction for suitable astigmatism
  • Selected multifocal, trifocal or EDOF options
03

Surgery and follow-up

Selected procedures are performed at Nallasopara East. The JEWCC team will explain where each pre-operative and follow-up visit should take place.

Cataract surgery is commonly completed as a day procedure, but preparation and discharge instructions remain individual. Arrange transport home, use the prescribed drops correctly and attend the reviews scheduled by the treating team.

This page provides general patient information. Your examination, surgeon’s advice and written treatment instructions determine what is appropriate for your eye.
