Recognizing the prevalence of cataracts as a leading cause of blindness, the MantraFoundation collaborates with reputable eye hospitals to ensure patients receive appropriate surgical care. By referring patients to specialized eye care facilities, Mantra Foundation plays a pivotal role in connecting those affected by cataracts with the necessary medical interventions.

Patients often assume that a cataract must be well advanced before surgery is necessary. This is not correct. If your start to notice visual disturbances, you should ask your ophthalmologist about the options available to you before it starts to affect your quality of life.

The surgery itself typically lasts between 15 to 20 minutes. However, if you add up the total time you spend with us (preparation, surgery, rest afterwards), the entire process takes between 2–3 hours.

The choice of artificial, or intraocular lens (IOL), that patients receive during cataract surgery depends on their lifestyle and their visual needs. Your surgeon will make a clear recommendation based on your stated needs.
