Cataract Surgery

Complicated Cataract Surgery

Expertise for Challenging Cases

Not all cataracts are routine. We specialize in managing complicated cataract cases that present unique surgical challenges, ensuring that even patients with co-existing conditions achieve the best possible visual outcome.

Cases Requiring Specialized Expertise:

• Dislocated Lenses (Ectopia Lentis): Surgical repair and stabilization, often involving innovative techniques.

• Eyes with Severe Trauma or Inflammation (Uveitis): Tailored surgical plans to manage the underlying condition alongside the cataract.

• Small Pupil or Poor Cornea: Utilizing specialized instruments and techniques to navigate challenging anterior segments.

• Need for Scleral Fixated IOLs (SFIOL): Our institute has pioneered significant innovations in this area, including the Haptic Cut Scleral Fixated IOL technique and the Dumbbell Technique of Aniridic SFIOL Fixation, offering enhanced stability and superior outcomes in complex aphakic cases.

Cataract surgery is a common procedure to remove a cloudy lens (cataract) in the eye and replace it with an artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL). This restores clear vision, as cataracts impair the ability of the eye to focus light. It's a relatively quick and safe procedure, often completed in under 30 minutes and with a high success rate. 

Advanced Cataract Surgery

Restoring Clarity with Precision

Cataract surgery is a highly successful procedure to remove a clouded lens and replace it with an Intraocular Lens (IOL). At ASG Kashi, we elevate this procedure to the advanced level, offering the latest technology and premium lens options for superior post-operative vision.

Our Advanced Cataract Services Include:

• Premium IOLs: Offering a full range of IOL options, including Toric (for astigmatism), Multifocal, and Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses to correct vision for distance, intermediate, and near, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses.

• Micro-Incision Phacoemulsification: Utilizing the latest techniques for minimal incision size, leading to faster recovery and reduced risk.

• High-End Technology: Our procedures are supported by our advanced surgical theatres, featuring Zeiss Lumera microscopes and modern phacoemulsification systems, ensuring maximum precision.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease that affects premature babies, causing abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina. It occurs when these blood vessels grow uncontrollably and can lead to vision loss or blindness if not treated.

Vitreo-Retina Surgery

Vitreo-retinal surgery is a specialized area of ophthalmology that focuses on treating diseases and conditions affecting the vitreous (the gel-like substance filling the eye) and the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye). These surgeries are performed using microsurgical instruments and lasers to address issues like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and other complex retinal

Uveitis

Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It can affect one or both eyes and may be caused by eye injuries, infections, or underlying diseases. If left untreated, uveitis can lead to vision loss.

Comprehensive Eye Exam

The Foundation of Excellent Vision Care

A comprehensive eye exam is more than just a vision test—it is a full health assessment of your eyes. It is the crucial first step in diagnosing conditions often without early symptoms, such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, and early signs of Macular Degeneration.

What Our Comprehensive Exam Includes:

• Detailed Vision & Refraction Assessment

• Intraocular Pressure Measurement (Glaucoma Screening)

• Slit Lamp Examination of the Anterior Segment

• Dilated Fundus Examination: A thorough check of your retina and optic nerve, performed by our specialized team.

• Advanced Diagnostics (as needed): Utilizing our Swept Source OCT with Deep Choroidal Imaging: Topcon Triton Plus for precise, detailed analysis of the retina.

We recommend a comprehensive eye exam annually for most adults, and more frequently for those with diabetes, a family history of eye disease, or other risk factors.
