Why Winter is the Best Time for Traditional or Bladeless Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery treatment and techniques have advanced vastly in recent years. In fact with the coming of Bladeless Cataract Surgery Technology, cataract removal procedure has become much easier, safer and quicker. Yep, with the latest technology, it barely takes 10 minutes per eye. But, despite so many innovations taking place in the field of cataract surgery, the first question that usually tops everyone’s mind on being diagnosed with cataract is “When should I schedule my cataract surgery?” 

At Sharp Sight (Group of Eye Hospitals), the best eye hospital for bladeless cataract surgery in Delhi NCR, we have always emphasised that the best time to have (traditional or bladeless) cataract surgery is when your blurred vision makes it difficult for you to lead a normal life. In fact, at Sharp Sight, many of our patients, after they’ve undergone the bladeless cataract surgery procedure, tell us that they really should have had it sooner. And, the beauty of this modern cataract surgery is that now ophthalmologists are capable of treating other refractive errors, like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, etc, at the same time as the cataract operation.

So, if you are looking for a hospital that offers the best bladeless cataract surgery in Delhi NCR, contact us.  

Choose Winter For Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery

Many times patients wonder if there is any specific month or time to get cataract surgery so that it does some kind of magical healing. So, the big picture is, with the world-class treatments, like, Femto Bladeless Cataract Surgery, Zepto Cataract Surgery, etc., cataract removal is considered to be one of the safest and most predictable ophthalmic procedures. Hence the moment cloudiness starts distorting your vision, its time you book an appointment with your ophthalmologist.  

But, having said that, winter offers a lot of advantages to consider when you’re scheduling a traditional or bladeless cataract surgery procedure. 

#1 Longer Nights in Winter Means More Driving at Night:

Cataract progression makes it difficult for an individual to drive at night. With the coming of winters, days get shorter and nights longer and therefore, individuals with cataracts find it really difficult to self-drive during winter months. In fact, fearing cataract removal surgery, many people simply avoid driving in winters and even if they do, they make sure to be back during daylight. Now, that’s a good precaution, but with the advent of latest technologies and lasers, cataract removal is the safest and stitch-less procedure. The painless procedure takes barely 10 minutes (per eye) to remove a cataract-affected lens and replace it with an artificial IOL. Moreover, cataract surgery not just improves vision, but it also reduces glare thereby, making driving at night much safer and significantly less stressful.

#2 Fog and Cloudy Eyes Can Prove Fatal:

Cataracts amplify blurriness and double vision with an added layer of visual obstruction. Moreover, driving in the foggy weather can be challenging even with excellent vision so for people with cataracts, we strictly advice to rather get cataract removal procedure done than taking any chance with their life. After cataract surgery, patients can see clearly, often at a range of distances, which makes driving in the fog much safer.

#3 Winter is the Ideal Time to Snuggle Inside a Quilt:

Let’s face it, even though modern-day cataract surgery requires no stitches, patches and is a pain-free procedure, you’ll still need a few days to rest and take it easy. You’ll have to refrain from doing strenuous activities and keep your eyes protected as suggested by your ophthalmologist. And, cold weather is the best time to snuggle inside a quilt and give your eyes some rest.  

#4 You’ll Be Able to Enjoy Vibrant Colors of Spring:

After the winter dampness, we all look forward to Springtime. So, the best advantage of getting your cataract removed in winter is that you’ll be able to enjoy the vibrant colors of spring and the natural beauty outside like never before. Since most people have cataracts in both eyes and the surgeries are usually performed about one week apart, scheduling cataract procedures for winter should give you plenty of time to recover before the spring sets in. Post surgery, you can get back to activities such as driving, reading, playing golf, tennis, swimming, etc.
