Dr Fogla has been performing phacoemulsification surgery since 1997, and has performed more
than
10,000 phacoemulsification procedures using different phacoemulsification machines such as
the Universal II, Alcon Legacy, Alcon Infinity, Storz protege, Storz millenium, AMO diplomax, AMO
Opsys, and AMO sovereign.

Unlike routine cataract surgery, Dr Fogla customizes the cataract surgery to meet visual
requirements of the patient. Most patients desire good unaided vision following surgery
. Patients
are able to read 6/9 (20/30) or better the following day after surgery. (unless limited by pre existing
retinal or optic nerve disease)

The packages for cataract surgery start at
15,000 rupees and go all the way upto 75,000 rupees.
The higher end packages include the aberration free intraocular lenses (such as Technis or
Acrysof IQ), which provide you better contrast ie better sharpness or quality of vision when
compared to standard intraocular lenses.
Toric Acrysof IOL allows correction of pre existing corneal
astigmatism, thereby providing better unaided vision postoperatively. Multi-focal IOL provide good
vision both for distance and near, thereby providing freedom from spectacles.
These premium intraocular lenses are implanted only by an experienced cataract surgeon, for if not
placed properly in the right position, the performance of the lens is affected.

Pre-existing astigmatism needs to  be corrected for good unaided vision. Dr Fogla specializes in
astigmatic keratotomy, a procedure that corrects astigmatism by placing tiny incisions in the
peripheral cornea using a diamond knife. This ensures that your postoperative visual outcome is
not affected by the astigmatic errors of corneal curvature.

Options for IOL implants include
  • Indian foldable IOL (package cost Rs15000)
  • Imported Monofocal standard foldable IOL (package cost  Rs 28000 - 32,000)
  • Monofocal aberration free lenses (package cost  Rs 36000)
  • Toric foldable IOL (package cost 50,000)
  • Multifocal implants such as Technis multifocal or Alcon Restor  ( Rs 60000 to 75000)

Cataract surgery packages have been designed to cater to all economic sections of the society.

Remember, it is important not to compromise on your cataract surgery. After all its your eye, and
good quality vision is essential for everyone. Please discuss with your doctor the kind of intraocular
lens being implanted inside the eye. Every IOL comes packed in a box with all details, you can
request you doctor for the same after the surgery, so that you can gain more information about the
IOL.
So if you have symptoms suggestive of cataract, or are diagnosed to have cataract, and desire perfect visual outcome following the
surgery, book an appointment with Dr Rajesh Fogla, and then decide about the surgery.
