Why you can trust this page
The description of Micro Phaco Cataract Surgery on this page reflects how the service is offered at Neera Eye Centre, Darya Ganj, by the team led by Dr. Neera Agrawal.
Where a recovery time or a fee is not given as a fixed number, that is deliberate. Both depend on your examination, and both are explained before you decide.
This page is written for patients considering the service. It is general information, not a personalised treatment plan.
Service Overview
Micro phaco is cataract surgery through an extra-small opening using ultrasound to remove the cloudy lens and place an IOL.
Daily life looks the same as any cataract: faded newspapers, yellow walls, night glare.
You are numbed with drops in most cases, stay awake, and go home the same day.
Smaller is not always better for every eye. If a slightly larger micro-incision is safer for your lens choice, that is what we use.
What It Covers
Biometry and a retina check before any date is given.
What each lens will and will not do, with cost in writing.
Ultrasound removal through a tiny self-sealing track.
Your IOL unfolds into the capsule.
Vision and pressure until healing is stable.
Who It Is For
Print and faces look washed out.
Halos around lights.
If another eye disease is the main limit, we treat or explain that first.
Cost
At Neera Eye Centre, Darya Ganj, cataract surgery costs between ₹19,000 and ₹1,40,000 per eye as a composite package. Monofocal lenses start at ₹19,000, advanced monofocal and toric from ₹50,000, EDOF from ₹60,000 and trifocal from ₹65,000. The lens you choose moves the figure most.
The price is quoted per eye, as a single composite package rather than a list of separate charges. The range within each lens category reflects the specific lens model, whether astigmatism correction is needed, and the complexity of your eye.
| Lens category | What it gives you | Cost per eye |
|---|---|---|
| Monofocal IOL | Sharp distance vision. Reading glasses needed. | ₹19,000 – ₹45,000 |
| Advanced monofocal IOL | Distance vision with better contrast and night quality. | ₹50,000 – ₹65,000 |
| Toric IOL | Distance vision with astigmatism corrected at the same time. | ₹50,000 – ₹65,000 |
| EDOF IOL | Distance and intermediate. Fine print may need glasses. | ₹60,000 – ₹1,10,000 |
| Trifocal IOL | Distance, intermediate and near. Least glasses dependence. | ₹65,000 – ₹1,40,000 |
Composite package rates per eye at Neera Eye Centre & Laser Vision Pvt. Limited, Darya Ganj, current as of October 2026. Your exact figure is confirmed in writing at consultation, after your scans.
The composite package is a single all-in figure for that eye. It covers the surgeon's fee, the intraocular lens itself, operation theatre and day-care charges, the pre-operative scans used to calculate your lens power, and your scheduled post-operative follow-up visits.
Costs outside the package are told to you upfront: the initial consultation, treatment for any separate eye condition found during examination, and the second eye, which is quoted as its own package.
Four things move the figure: the lens category you choose, whether you need astigmatism correction, the surgical technique used, and whether you are having one eye or both done.
How It Works
The eye is numbed. You should not feel pain.
A tiny track is made; no stitch in most cases.
The cataract is removed and the new lens placed.
Short observation, then home.
Before and after
What the first days look like depends on whether this is a scan, medical treatment, or a procedure. At Neera Eye Centre we explain drops, precautions, and the review date before anything is scheduled.
Bring earlier reports, your current glasses, and a list of eye drops or medicines. Tell us about diabetes, allergies, blood thinners, and any recent redness or injury.
Follow the plan you are given — observation, drops, or a procedure date. Avoid rubbing the eye. Call us the same day if pain, redness, or blurred vision gets worse instead of settling.

Timing
Come in when symptoms affect reading, driving, work, or comfort, or when another doctor has asked you to get this checked. You do not need to wait until a problem is severe.
A consultation is how we tell you whether this service is the right next step, or whether observation or a different treatment suits your eyes better.

I recently underwent Topography-guided PRK (Contoura) surgery here, and my experience was absolutely fantastic. I had a high cylindrical power (-3.25) and was honestly a bit nervous, but Dr. Neera agrawal and the entire staff made me feel completely at ease. They took the time to explain exactly why PRK was the safest and best option for me. The procedure was incredibly smooth, and my recovery is going exactly as they guided. The hospital is exceptionally clean, the staff is very cooperative, and the technology is top-notch. If you are considering getting rid of your glasses, I highly recommend dr. Neera and this hospital. Thank you for giving me a glass-free life!
