What is a Cataract?
A cataract is a natural part of aging for many people. It happens when the clear lens inside your eye starts to become cloudy almost like a window fogging up. This cloudiness gradually reduces your ability to see clearly. Reading, driving, recognizing faces, and even walking in well-lit areas can become difficult or uncomfortable.
According to the World Health Organization, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide. But there’s good news: modern cataract surgery is one of the most successful procedures in medicine today.
During the surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). At AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital, we use phacoemulsification a minimally invasive technique that uses ultrasound to break up the cataract and remove it gently.
This approach offers quicker recovery, fewer complications, and much better outcomes especially when performed by highly trained surgeons like Dr. Deepali Singhal.

7 Reasons Why Advanced Cataract Treatment in Thane Makes a Difference
1. You’ll Receive Truly Personalized Care
Your eyes and your visual needs are as unique as your fingerprint. That’s why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Deepali Singhal takes the time to understand not just your condition, but your lifestyle whether you love reading, need to drive at night, or spend long hours on screens.
Your treatment plan is tailored around you, with the most suitable IOL selected for your day-to-day needs.
2. We Use Modern Surgery Without the Risks of Lasers
Many people associate “advanced” with laser surgery, but it’s important to know that not all cataract cases require lasers nor are lasers always better.
Our phacoemulsification technique at AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital delivers precise, safe, and sutureless outcomes at par with laser-assisted procedures. It’s the surgeon’s expertise that truly makes the difference.
3. Higher Safety, Lower Complications
With over 15,000 successful surgeries, Dr. Deepali Singhal has developed a reputation for surgical accuracy and patient safety. Her complication rates are among the lowest in the field, offering added peace of mind to you and your family.
4. Whole-Eye Evaluation, Not Just the Cataract
Cataracts are just one part of the puzzle. Dry eyes, corneal thinning, or high eye pressure can affect your outcome. Dr. Deepali Singhal evaluates your entire eye health, not just the cataract, to make sure your vision is restored holistically.
5. A Caring, Comfortable Experience from Day One
If you’re nervous about surgery or hospitals, you’re not alone and we hear this from many patients. From your first visit at AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital, you’ll feel the difference. You’re never rushed. Your questions are always welcome. And your comfort truly matters.
6. Fast Healing and Return to Daily Life
Most people recover quickly often within two or three days, especially with good follow-up care. So if you’re wondering about recovery time after cataract surgery, rest easy. Many of our patients drive, read, and return to work faster than they expected.

7. Patients Come From All Over for Our Expertise
Whether you’re in Thane, Mumbai, or Navi Mumbai, or even traveling from other states, many patients trust Dr. Deepali Singhal for a second opinion or for care they didn’t feel safe getting elsewhere. We’re truly honored by that trust.
Key Benefits for You
The greatest benefits of advanced cataract treatment in Thane are not just about technology, they’re about quality of life.
You will likely experience brighter colors, sharper vision, better contrast, and more confidence in your day-to-day activities. Whether you’re reading the newspaper again, watching your grandchildren play, or enjoying evening walks without fear of tripping, the ability to see clearly again changes everything.
How the Procedure Works
Before your cataract surgery, Dr. Deepali Singhal will perform a thorough evaluation of your eyes from measuring the lens power to checking the cornea, retina, and pressure. You’ll also discuss your preferences: Do you want to reduce dependence on glasses? Do you need better night vision?
On the day of the procedure, the surgery usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes and is performed under local (topical) anesthesia. This means you’ll be awake, but you won’t feel pain.
Through a tiny incision, the cloudy lens is removed using a special probe called a phacoemulsifier, and then a foldable IOL is implanted in its place.
You’ll go home the same day, usually with a protective eye shield, and you’ll be back for follow-ups within 24-48 hours.
Who Is This Treatment For?
This treatment is ideal if you’ve been told you have cataracts, and you’re starting to notice:
- Blurry or dim vision
- Difficulty driving at night or in bright sunlight
- Double vision
- Seeing halos or glare around lights
- Colors that appear faded
- Increasing reliance on stronger glasses
Dr. Deepali Singhal also specializes in pediatric cataracts, traumatic cataracts, and cataract complications in patients with other conditions like keratoconus or dry eye syndrome.
Long-Term Benefits and Better Quality of Life
The freedom from hazy, distorted vision opens up a new world whether it’s feeling safer crossing the street, cooking your own meals with confidence, seeing your loved ones’ faces clearly, or reading your favorite books again.
For many patients, this surgery is life-changing. And the results? They’re designed to last.
Research from WebMD shows that most patients experience lasting improvements in vision and satisfaction for years after their procedure.
Real Results and Patient Success Stories
We often hear from patients who say, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
Some come in unable to read even medium-sized print. After surgery, they’re smiling, reading their newspaper on day two. Others arrive feeling nervous and leave saying the procedure was far easier than they had expected.
With Dr. Deepali Singhal’s meticulous approach and gentle manner, you’re not just another surgery slot, you’re someone we truly care about helping.
Understanding Risks and How We Minimize Them
Every medical procedure has some risk. Cataract surgery, while generally safe, may include rare side effects like inflammation, temporary swelling, or dry eyes.
At AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital, we take extra steps to prevent and manage these risks. We use sterile techniques, gentle handling, detailed pre-surgical assessments, and post-op care that’s closely guided.
Comparing Cataract Surgeries and Other Treatments
There are different approaches to cataract surgery traditional, laser-assisted, and phacoemulsification. Not all are suitable for every patient.
At AcktivVision Super Speciality Eye Hospital, we focus on advanced cataract treatment in Thane using phacoemulsification, which is safe, effective, and ideal for most cataract cases.
While LASIK, ICL, or SMILE are great for vision correction, they do not treat cataracts. Comparing your options starts with understanding your needs.
Preparing for Surgery and Taking Care Afterward
Before the procedure, we’ll guide you on stopping certain medications, managing any chronic conditions, and arranging for a caretaker to accompany you home.
After surgery, you’ll use prescribed eye drops, come in for check-ups, and take simple precautions like not rubbing your eyes or lifting heavy objects.
Even anxious patients soon realize how manageable and often painless this whole experience is with the right support.
Is Cataract Surgery a One-Time Procedure?
For most patients, yes. You have one surgery per eye, and the results last for decades often for life. You will need routine eye exams to monitor your vision and eye pressure, but further surgery is rarely needed unless other eye conditions develop later.
Why Patients Trust Dr. Singhal and AcktivVision

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a cataract, and how does it affect vision?
A cataract happens when the natural lens inside your eye becomes cloudy, making it hard for light to pass through clearly. You may notice blurred vision, faded colors, glare, or trouble seeing well at night. As cataracts progress, daily tasks like reading or driving can become more difficult.
2. How do I know if I’m a good candidate for cataract surgery?
If your vision is getting worse due to cataracts and it’s starting to interfere with your quality of life even if you’re still using glasses you’re likely a good candidate. During your evaluation, Dr. Deepali Singhal will thoroughly check your eye health and tailor the treatment plan based on your age, lifestyle, and visual needs.
3. Does cataract surgery hurt?
Most patients are surprised to discover how comfortable the procedure feels. The surgery is done under local anesthesia, so your eye is numb, and you stay awake but relaxed. Many people describe the experience as “quick and painless.”
4. What is the recovery time after cataract surgery?
While each person heals a little differently, most patients notice clearer vision within a day or two. You can typically return to light daily activities in 2-3 days. You’ll be given specific instructions after surgery to ensure smooth healing.
5. Will I still need glasses after cataract surgery?
That depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) you choose. Dr. Deepali Singhal offers options ranging from standard monofocal lenses to premium multifocal and toric lenses that reduce dependence on glasses for distance and, in some cases, near tasks as well.
6. What are the possible risks or side effects?
Cataract surgery is one of the safest surgeries currently performed. Rare side effects can include inflammation, temporary blurry vision, dryness, or increased eye pressure. Serious complications are very rare, especially when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Deepali Singhal.
7. How much does cataract treatment cost?
Surgery cost varies depending on the lens you choose and whether any other eye conditions exist. Because every patient is unique, it’s best to come in for a consultation so we can explain your options clearly. We will make sure you understand what to expect, without surprises.
8. Can cataracts come back after surgery?
No, the cataract itself does not grow back. However, a few patients may develop a condition called posterior capsular opacification (PCO), which can slightly blur vision months or years later. This is very easily treated with a quick, painless laser procedure called YAG capsulotomy.
9. Is this a one-time procedure, or will I need more surgeries in the future?
For most patients, cataract surgery is a one-time solution per eye. You won’t need it again for the same eye. Regular eye check-ups with Dr. Deepali Singhal will help you monitor for any unrelated eye conditions in the future.
