Hello


Yes, cataract surgery is available at Little Flower Hospital and Research Centre, Angamaly. The hospital has a dedicated Ophthalmology (Eye Care) Department that offers comprehensive eye care services, including cataract diagnosis, evaluation, and surgery by qualified ophthalmologists. 


What Is Cataract?


A cataract is a condition in which the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred or hazy vision. It commonly develops with age and may gradually interfere with daily activities such as reading, driving, or recognising faces.


When Is Cataract Surgery Needed?


Your eye specialist may recommend cataract surgery if you experience:

  • Blurred or cloudy vision.

  • Difficulty seeing at night.

  • Glare or halos around lights.

  • Frequent changes in spectacle power.

  • Difficulty performing routine activities due to poor vision.

A detailed eye examination will help determine whether surgery is the right treatment.


How Is Cataract Surgery Performed?


Cataract surgery is a safe and commonly performed procedure. During the surgery:

  • The cloudy natural lens is removed.

  • A clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted.

  • The procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes.

  • In most cases, the patient can return home the same day, depending on the doctor's advice.

The hospital's ophthalmology department has been providing specialised eye care services for many years, including cataract management. 


What Happens Before the Surgery?


Before surgery, the ophthalmologist recommend:
