Performed by Dr. Praneeth Putti at Sharp Vision Eye Hospital
Cataract surgery in Hyderabad is a safe and effective procedure to remove the clouded natural lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens, restoring clear vision. The procedure uses advanced phacoemulsification technology with micro-incisions for faster healing and minimal discomfort. Sharp Vision Eye Hospital specializes in modern cataract treatment under the expertise of Dr. Praneeth Putti.
We believe in honest, upfront disclosure so you can make an informed decision.
A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Local anesthetic eye drops are applied to numb the eye completely, ensuring a painless procedure while you remain awake and comfortable throughout the surgery.
A tiny self-sealing incision of 2-3mm is made at the edge of the cornea to access the clouded lens without requiring stitches for closure.
The clouded cataractous lens is broken into tiny fragments using ultrasound energy and gently suctioned out through the small incision, preserving the lens capsule.
A clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is carefully folded and inserted through the micro-incision, then positioned securely within the preserved lens capsule.
The IOL unfolds naturally into its permanent position, the incision self-seals without stitches, and antibiotic drops are applied to prevent infection.
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.
At Sharp Vision Eye Hospital, we perform comprehensive biometry and optical coherence tomography to precisely measure your eye and select the optimal intraocular lens power for your visual needs.

We utilize the latest phacoemulsification technology with micro-incision techniques, ensuring minimal trauma, faster healing, reduced complications, and superior visual outcomes for every patient.
Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions, scheduled follow-up examinations, and 24/7 accessibility to address any concerns during your recovery period, ensuring optimal healing and vision restoration.
What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
Within hours after surgery, you may notice improved vision clarity. Mild discomfort, watering, or light sensitivity is normal. Rest with the protective eye shield in place and use prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops as directed.
During the first week, vision continues improving daily. Avoid rubbing the eye, heavy lifting, swimming, or strenuous activities. Wear the eye shield while sleeping and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
By 4-6 weeks, vision stabilizes completely and most activities resume normally. Final eyeglass prescription can be determined if needed. Continue protective measures in dusty environments and maintain regular eye check-ups for long-term eye health.
Over 98% of patients experience significant vision improvement, with many achieving 20/20 or near-perfect vision, eliminating the cloudiness and blur caused by cataracts.
Patients regain the ability to perform daily activities like reading, driving, watching television, and recognizing faces with improved color perception and visual clarity.
With premium multifocal or accommodating IOLs, many patients achieve excellent distance and near vision, significantly reducing or eliminating their need for corrective eyewear.
The artificial intraocular lens is permanent and does not deteriorate over time, providing stable, lasting vision correction for the remainder of the patient's life.
