A cataract develops when the eye's natural lens gradually turns cloudy, and for most people, it happens so slowly that the change is easy to write off as "just getting older." Colors may look a little duller, night driving may feel harder, or reading may take more effort than it used to.
The good news is that cataract surgery is one of the most well-established and effective procedures in modern ophthalmology. At Sattva Eye Hospital in Vadodara, we combine careful evaluation with advanced surgical technique to help you get back to seeing clearly, with a plan explained to you every step of the way.
About the Service: Cataract surgery is the definitive treatment for cataracts. It involves removing the eye's cloudy natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Our cataract service at Sattva Eye Hospital is designed for anyone experiencing a gradual decline in vision clarity — typically adults over 50, although cataracts can occur earlier due to injury, certain medications, or other eye conditions.
From your first evaluation through post-operative follow-up, our goal is to help you understand whether surgery is right for you, what to expect, and which lens option best fits your lifestyle and visual needs.

Seeing double with one eye may occur with lens changes and should be assessed by an eye specialist.
