existing retinal or optic nerve disease)
The packages for cataract surgery start at 8000 rupees and go all the way upto 26000 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. These 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 also 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.
