Cataract
Cataract is the clouding of the natural lens inside the eye. Ageing is the most common cause for cataract. However, diabetics, patients with eye injury, eye inflammation and high minus number in the eye can develop cataract at an early age. The most common symptoms of cataract include blurring of vision and cloudiness. Some patients complain of glare or sensitivity to bright lights and scattering of the light from the headlights of oncoming cars.
Cataract surgery is the only effective option for the treatment of cataract, it involves removing of the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear lens. Dr Kunjal Sejpal, Cataract Surgeon in Mahim & Dadar offers cataract surgery with advanced technology and premium lenses. It is a stitchless, painless, patchless, day care procedure. In addition to regular phacoemulsification, we offer Micro Incisional Cataract Surgery (MICS) and Femtoassisted cataract surgery options too.

Dr Kunjal Sejpal, Cataract Surgeon in Mahim & Dadar personally helps the patient in making the correct choice of intraocular lens to be placed in the eye after cataract surgery. A monofocal lens corrects vision for distance and the patient needs reading glasses after surgery. Premium lenses include multifocal, trifocal and extended depth of focus lenses, which help focus vision for far distance, intermediate and near vision, resulting in less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery. Toric lenses help correct astigmatism, again resulting in less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery
Healthy Eye
Light enters the eye through the cornea, passes through the natural crystalline lens and is accurately focused onto the retina, providing a crisp, clear image.
Eye with Cataract
As the eye ages, the lens becomes cloudier, allowing less light to pass through. The light that does make it to the retina is diffused or scattered, leaving vision defocused and blurry.
