Hello R. Venkata Ramana Ji,
Thank you for your message. At the age of 53, cataract surgery is a common and safe procedure, and today you have very good options for both surgery type and lens selection that can give you clear distance and near vision without always needing glasses.
Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery):
Most advanced and commonly used technique
Minimally invasive, fast recovery
Done under local anesthesia, with no stitches in most cases
Multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL):
Provides a clear vision for far, intermediate, and near
Reduces or eliminates the need for glasses
Ideal if you want maximum freedom from spectacles
Trifocal IOL (like Alcon PanOptix or Zeiss):
Offers the most natural vision experience
Excellent for people who want to see clearly at all distances
EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) Lens:
Good for distance and intermediate, with some near vision support
Fewer issues with glare/halos compared to multifocal
Note: Your doctor will help decide the best lens based on your eye condition, lifestyle, and budget.
Please share any existing health conditions like diabetes or glaucoma, as they may affect lens choice.
A detailed eye scan (biometry) is needed before final lens selection.
Wishing you a successful surgery and sharp, comfortable vision ahead! Let us know if you'd like help finding a top eye surgeon near Tirupati.
