Chief Surgeon
Dr. Neelam Sharma
M.B.B.S., M.S. | Phacoemulsification & Premium IOL Expert
Leading the region in refractive cataract interventions, Dr. Neelam Sharma specializes in Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) and the precise implantation of Multifocal, Toric, and EDOF lenses. Her protocols ensure unparalleled safety, rapid recovery, and extraordinary visual outcomes.
Why Choose Prasan Nethralaya for Cataract Surgery?
We treat cataract surgery as a refractive procedure. Our goal isn't just to remove the cloudy lens, but to upgrade your vision to high-definition clarity.
Premium IOL Customization
We offer a vast portfolio of advanced lenses—including Multifocal, EDOF, and Toric IOLs—carefully matched to your lifestyle to drastically reduce your dependency on glasses.
100% Stitchless MICS
Our Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery utilizes incisions under 2.4mm that seal themselves naturally. No stitches, no injections, and an incredibly fast, painless recovery.
Complex Case Mastery
Not all cataracts are routine. Dr. Neelam has vast experience safely managing high-risk, "rock-hard" hyper-mature cataracts utilizing specialized manual extraction techniques.
Your Path to Visual Freedom
From precise mathematical measurements to walking out with clear vision, we ensure a seamless, comfortable surgical experience.
Advanced Biometry
We use laser-guided scans to measure the exact length and curve of your eye to calculate the perfect power for your new lens.
Lifestyle Consultation
Dr. Neelam helps you select the best IOL (Monofocal vs. Multifocal) based on your daily activities, hobbies, and reading habits.
The 15-Min Procedure
Performed using only numbing eye drops. The ultrasound safely removes the clouded lens and your new clear lens is implanted.
Next-Day Clarity
You go home the same day. Most patients wake up the very next morning to significantly brighter, sharper vision.
Understanding the Clouding Lens
Inside your eye lies a natural, crystalline lens responsible for focusing light sharply onto the retina. In our youth, this lens is perfectly transparent and highly flexible. However, as a natural consequence of aging, the proteins within this lens begin to denature, clump together, and harden.
This progressive clouding is known as a Cataract. It acts like a frosted, dirty window—scattering and blocking incoming light. Because the opacity occurs physically within the lens itself, it cannot be washed away with drops or corrected with stronger glasses. The only definitive cure is the surgical removal of the clouded lens and its replacement with a high-definition artificial lens (IOL).
Symptom Checklist: Is it time for an evaluation?
- • A feeling of looking through a foggy or dusty windshield.
- • Massive glare and halos around oncoming headlights at night.
- • Colors appear dull, faded, or heavily tinted yellow.
- • Requiring much brighter light for reading or close-up work.
- • Frequent and rapid changes to your glasses prescription.
Refractive Cataract Solutions
Phacoemulsification (MICS)
The global gold standard. A minimally invasive technique utilizing ultrasound to safely emulsify and remove cloudy lenses through a stitchless opening less than 2.4 mm.
Robotic Cataract Surgery (FLACS)
A completely bladeless, computer-guided procedure. The laser performs the most critical steps, ensuring absolute perfection in centration for premium multifocal IOLs.
Complex & Mature Cataracts (MSICS)
When cataracts become "rock-hard" and unsafe for ultrasound, we utilize specialized manual extraction techniques to protect the structural integrity of the eye.
Advanced Cataract Technology
A flawless outcome relies on flawless data and superior instrumentation. We equip our theaters with the world's most trusted ophthalmic systems.
Optical Biometry (IOL Master)
The gold standard for pre-surgical measurements. It uses swept-source laser technology to measure the exact length and shape of your eye down to the micron, ensuring we calculate the absolutely perfect lens power for your implant.
Advanced Phacoemulsification
Our surgical platforms utilize intelligent fluidics that instantly respond to changes in the eye's pressure during surgery. This allows for incredibly safe, low-energy ultrasound that protects the delicate cells inside your cornea.
Femtosecond Laser Integration
For patients opting for FLACS, we utilize a computer-guided laser to perform the corneal incisions and lens fragmentation. This eliminates the need for surgical blades and offers a level of mathematical precision human hands cannot replicate.

Questions.
Clinical clarity regarding surgery duration, lens options, and achieving visual freedom.
The 'best' lens depends entirely on your lifestyle and eye anatomy. Monofocal lenses provide excellent distance vision but require reading glasses. Premium Multifocal or EDOF lenses are designed to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses at all distances. Toric lenses are used specifically to correct astigmatism.
The actual surgical procedure typically takes only 10 to 15 minutes per eye. It is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthetic drops, meaning you will be awake, completely comfortable, and can go home the very same day.
No, it is standard, safe medical practice to operate on one eye at a time. This ensures the first eye heals perfectly and provides functional vision while the second eye is being treated. The second eye is usually scheduled a few days to a few weeks later.
No, a cataract cannot grow back because the clouded natural lens is permanently removed and replaced with an artificial one. However, months or years later, the thin membrane supporting the new lens can become cloudy. This is easily treated with a painless 2-minute YAG laser procedure.
Most patients experience a significant, dramatic improvement in vision within 24 to 48 hours. However, you should not drive until Dr. Neelam confirms that your vision meets the legal driving standards at your follow-up appointment, usually within a few days of surgery.
