Cataract & Phaco Surgery
Cataract evaluation and phaco surgery planning for clearer vision.
Cataract is a common cause of cloudy or blurred vision, especially with age. When cataract starts affecting daily activities, proper examination and treatment planning become important.
Overview
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy. It may cause blurred vision, glare, poor night vision, faded colors and difficulty reading or driving. Cataract usually develops gradually but can significantly affect quality of life.
Dr. Md. Mominul Islam provides cataract evaluation and phaco surgery planning, with special attention to patients who may also have diabetic retinopathy, retina disease, uveitis or other eye risks.
Key Symptoms
- Cloudy or blurred vision
- Glare from bright lights
- Poor night vision
- Faded color vision
- Frequent glasses change
- Difficulty reading or driving
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Diagnosis includes vision testing, slit-lamp examination, lens assessment, eye pressure check and dilated retina examination. Diabetic and retina patients may need OCT or retinal imaging before surgery.
Proper evaluation helps decide whether cataract is the main cause of vision loss or whether another eye condition may also be affecting vision.
Treatment & Care Options
Early cataract may be managed with updated glasses or better lighting. When cataract affects daily life, surgery is usually the definitive treatment. Phaco surgery removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with an artificial lens.
Dr. Mominul guides patients through cataract severity, surgery timing, lens choice discussion, retina risk assessment and follow-up planning after surgery.
Dr. Mominul’s Approach

- Retina check before surgery
- Phaco surgery planning
- Patient counseling on outcomes
- Follow-up after cataract surgery
FAQs
When is cataract surgery needed?
Cataract surgery may be needed when blurred vision, glare or poor night vision affects daily activities.
Can cataract be treated with medicine?
No medicine can remove cataract. Glasses may help early, but surgery is the main treatment when cataract becomes significant.
Is retina check needed before cataract surgery?
Yes, especially for diabetic patients or patients with known retina problems, because retina health affects visual outcome.
Will vision improve immediately after surgery?
Many patients notice improvement early, but final recovery depends on eye health, surgery response and any existing retina or nerve disease.
Need cataract and phaco guidance?
Book a consultation with Dr. Md. Mominul Islam for cataract evaluation, phaco surgery planning and retina-aware surgical guidance. Proper assessment helps make treatment safer and more predictable.
