Cataract Surgery in Islamabad
Complete Guide for Patients
Cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision loss, especially among adults and senior citizens. At Al Shifa Eye Clinic Islamabad, we provide modern, safe, and highly successful treatment options including Cataract Surgery, Laser Cataract Surgery, and Femto Cataract Surgery. Our aim is to help every patient understand the condition clearly and make confident decisions about their eye health. This guide explains what cataracts are, when surgery is needed, what types of procedures are available, and how each method works. All information is written in simple language so every patient and family member can easily understand.
What is Cataract
A cataract occurs when the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy. This clouding blocks light from reaching the retina properly, causing:
Blurred or hazy vision
Difficulty seeing at night
Glare around lights
Faded or dull colors
Frequent changes in glasses prescription
Cataracts usually develop with age, but can also occur due to diabetes, injury, or long-term medication use. If left untreated, a cataract continues to worsen and may lead to significant vision loss.
Types of Cataract Surgery
At Al Shifa Eye Clinic, we offer multiple options for Eye Cataract Surgery, ensuring that every patient receives the treatment best suited for their eye condition and lifestyle. Our surgeons specialize in Standard Cataract Surgery, Laser Cataract Surgery, and Femto Cataract Surgery. Each method has its own benefits, but all are designed to safely remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear one. With modern technology and a patient-centered approach, we aim to provide accurate results, faster healing, and long-lasting vision clarity.
