Help & Clear Answers
Patient FAQ
Answers to common questions about laser vision correction, cataract surgery recovery, eye safety, and diagnostic consultations.
Is Custom LASIK spectacle removal painless?
Yes, 100% painless. Topical anesthetic numbing eye drops are administered prior to the procedure. You will feel zero pain during the 10-minute computer-guided laser delivery.
What is the difference between standard LASIK and Custom LASIK?
Standard LASIK corrects general spectacle power. Custom LASIK uses advanced wavefront and topographic mapping to analyze unique corneal surface contours, correcting fine visual imperfections to deliver sharper visual contrast and reduced night glare.
What is the age and stability eligibility for Custom LASIK?
Candidates must be at least 18 years of age with a stable spectacle prescription for at least 12 consecutive months. A detailed pre-procedure diagnostic assessment determines corneal structural suitability.
What pre-procedure diagnostics are mandatory before undergoing Custom LASIK?
Every patient undergoes high-precision 3D corneal topography, corneal pachymetry (thickness evaluation), pupil measurement, fundus screening, and comprehensive dry-eye diagnostics to ensure total surgical safety.
How soon can I return to work after Micro-Phaco cataract surgery?
Because our 2.2mm micro-incision technique is stitchless, most patients resume light daily tasks and indoor work within 24 to 48 hours.
Do I need hospitalization or an overnight stay for cataract surgery?
No, cataract surgery is performed as a same-day day-care procedure. Patients are discharged comfortably within 2 hours of surgery.
Are eye injections required for Micro-Phaco cataract surgery?
No, modern 2.2mm micro-phacoemulsification is performed under topical anesthetic eye drops without pain, needles, or eye patches.
What intraocular lens (IOL) options are available for cataract surgery?
We offer customized premium Monofocal, Toric (astigmatism-correcting), Multifocal, and Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOL implants tailored to your visual lifestyle and reading habits.
Specialized Refractive Procedures (ICL & Clear Lens Extraction)
Who is an ideal candidate for Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery?
ICL surgery is designed for patients with high nearsightedness or thin corneas who are unsuitable for laser LASIK. The biocompatible lens is placed permanently inside the eye without altering corneal tissue.
What is Clear Lens Extraction (CLE) and when is it recommended?
Clear Lens Extraction replaces the eye's natural lens with an advanced multi-focal intraocular lens before a cataract forms. It is an effective option for mature patients seeking complete independence from reading glasses.
Retina, Glaucoma & Specialized Medical Eye Care
Why do diabetic patients require routine retinal screening?
Diabetes can damage retinal blood vessels without early warning symptoms. We provide specialized fundus evaluation, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and diabetic retinal laser treatments to preserve long-term vision.
How is Glaucoma detected and managed?
Glaucoma is managed through regular intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring, computerized visual field testing, and targeted anti-glaucoma laser or medical therapies to prevent optic nerve damage.
Clinical Services, Refraction & Post-Operative Safety
What core clinical services are available at Netra Jyoti Eye Hospital?
Our facility specializes in modern micro-phacoemulsification cataract surgeries, clear lens extraction, ICL surgeries, Custom LASIK laser spectacle removal, medical retina, glaucoma care, and advanced refraction.
What precautions should be followed immediately after eye surgery?
Patients should avoid splashing tap water directly into the eye, rubbing the eyes, or engaging in strenuous physical activity for 7 days post-surgery, while administering prescribed eye drops as directed.
What does a specialized prescription glasses and refraction test involve?
Our refraction assessment combines digital objective auto-refraction with subjective clinical testing, corneal curvature analysis, and binocular vision balance to ensure optimal visual clarity.
Can both eyes undergo Custom LASIK spectacle removal on the same day?
Yes, Custom LASIK laser vision correction is routinely performed on both eyes during a single 10-to-15-minute session.
