A Gentle Word Before We Begin
If you’ve been noticing your vision getting dull, cloudy, or blurry over time especially while reading or driving you’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it.
Many people experience changes in vision as they grow older. In most cases, the cause is something called a cataract, a natural clouding of the eye’s lens, and it’s something that usually can be fixed with a simple procedure.
But we know that choosing cataract surgery especially when it’s labeled as “affordable” can make you pause. You might be wondering, will it actually work? Is it safe? Will I really be able to see clearly again? Is a reasonably priced surgery going to affect the quality of care or technology used?
These are important, valid questions. And I’m here to give you clear, honest answers just as I would if you were sitting in my OPD. Together, we’ll explore what makes affordable cataract surgery in Thane truly effective, when it’s done right, by the right hands, with the right care.
About Dr. Deepali Singhal and AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital
I’m Dr. Deepali Singhal, an ophthalmologist with over a decade of experience in restoring sight for patients of all ages from seniors with age-related cataracts to children with congenital eye problems. I hold an MD from AIIMS New Delhi, where I was awarded the Gold Medal, and have completed multiple international fellowships, including training with Prof. I. Pallikaris in Greece, the visionary behind LASIK eye surgery.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve performed more than 15,000 cataract surgeries and over 5,000 advanced eye procedures like LASIK, SMILE, ICL, and corneal transplants. Each case, each eye, and each patient has taught me one essential truth: eyesight is personal.
At AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital, we’ve built our practice around that truth. With centers in Panch Pakhdi and Ghodbunder Road, Thane, we offer compassionate, customized, and tech-enabled care that’s rooted in ethical medicine and lifelong vision care. Our operation theatre uses the latest phacoemulsification systems, ensuring safe and effective surgery even without femto-laser, which is optional in most cases.
What Is Cataract Surgery? (Explained Simply)
A cataract is what happens when the lens inside your eye starts to become cloudy it’s like trying to look through a foggy window. You might struggle with nighttime glare or find it hard to read small print, even with glasses. Over time, colors may seem faded, and daily life feels harder.
Cataract surgery is a simple medical procedure where we gently remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear artificial lens (called an intraocular lens, or IOL). In skilled hands, the entire process takes just 15 to 30 minutes, and you go home the same day.
According to the World Health Organization, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, but they’re also one of the most treatable.
You don’t lose “your eye” or “your original vision” you gain clarity, contrast, color, and confidence again.

How The Procedure Works With Dr. Deepali Singhal
When you come in for a cataract consultation, here’s what typically happens.
We begin with a complete eye examination using high-resolution scanners. We look at the health of your entire eye, not just the cataract, and we discuss your lifestyle. What kind of distance vision matters to you? Do you read at night or work on a screen?
We then recommend the best intraocular lens (IOL) for your needs. The surgery itself is done with micro-incision tools under local drops. Most people feel no pain, just a gentle pressure or cool sensation.
At AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital, our operation theatre is equipped with state-of-the-art phaco machines, which allows quick and precise removal of the lens, followed by seamless placement of the new one.
You rest for about 30 minutes afterward, and go home with protective glasses and simple recovery instructions.

Comparison With Other Treatment Options
It’s natural to wonder whether LASIK, SMILE, or contact lenses might be better for you. But these serve different purposes.
Cataract surgery is essential when the natural lens becomes cloudy no other treatment can reverse this.
LASIK and SMILE are great for reshaping a healthy cornea to improve glasses-free vision, while ICL implants work inside the eye to manage extreme power.

How to Prepare for Your Treatment
Ahead of surgery, I recommend eating light, arranging someone to accompany you, and carrying your existing prescriptions along.
After surgery, it’s important to:
- Not rub your eyes
- Use your eye drops properly
- Avoid dust and strain
- Return for checkups as scheduled
Is This Treatment a One-Time Procedure or Ongoing Commitment?
In most cases, cataract surgery is a permanent, one-time procedure. The artificial lens we use lasts a lifetime. A few patients may need follow-up for refractive adjustments or dry eyes, but otherwise, it’s a lasting fix. And we’re always here if you ever need us again.
