then cataract operation may be available under cashless treatment at eligible hospitals.

Coverage may include :

Final approval depends on:

• Patient eligibility
• Hospital empanelment
• PMJAY package verification
• Medical condition assessment

What Is Cataract?

Cataract (Motiyabind) is a condition where the natural eye lens becomes cloudy, causing blurry or unclear vision.

Common symptoms include:

• Blurred vision
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Sensitivity to bright light
• Faded or cloudy vision
• Difficulty reading or recognising objects

Eye specialist evaluation is important for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.

These documents help with eligibility verification and smoother approval.
