We understand that choosing an eye specialist involves many questions — about the doctors, the procedures, costs, recovery, and practicalities. Here are the most common questions patients ask, answered honestly.

Yes — cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful procedures in medicine, with a success rate above 95%. It is performed under local anaesthetic eye drops, takes 15–20 minutes, and requires no overnight stay.
This depends on the type of lens implanted. Standard monofocal lenses typically mean reading glasses are still needed. Premium multifocal, trifocal, or EDOF lenses can significantly reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses. Dr. Neha will advise the best option for your lifestyle.
Most patients notice significantly clearer vision within 24–48 hours. Full visual stability takes 4–6 weeks. Avoid rubbing the eye, swimming, and strenuous activity for 2 weeks.
In most cases, eyes are done separately — typically 1–2 weeks apart — to allow the first eye to heal and confirm the lens power was correct before proceeding with the second.
Sometimes months or years after cataract surgery, the membrane behind the lens implant clouds over, causing blurry vision — called posterior capsule opacification or "Jhilli" in Punjabi households. YAG laser treatment at Atmos takes just 5 minutes, is painless, and restores clarity immediately.
Dr. Neha's scope includes: retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema, age-related macular degeneration, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal vein occlusion, and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).
Numbing drops are applied before the injection. Most patients describe feeling mild pressure rather than pain. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes. Some grittiness is normal for a few hours afterward.
This varies by condition. For wet AMD and diabetic macular oedema, most patients need monthly injections for the first 3–6 months, with frequency reducing as the condition stabilises. Dr. Neha will create an individualised plan and review it at every visit.
Absolutely. We welcome second opinion consultations. Please bring all previous reports, OCT scans, prescription glasses, and a referral letter if available.
