Looking for laser cataract surgery (lacs) in Mumbai? Dr Mickey's Eye Care Centre provides laser cataract surgery (lacs) across three central Mumbai clinics — Off-BKC / Kurla West, Kalina / Santacruz East, and Bandra West. Dr Mickey Dhamejani personally consults at all three locations and performs surgical cases himself.
Laser Cataract Surgery (LACS) at Dr Mickey's Eye Care Centre is built around three principles — accurate diagnosis, honest counselling about whether the procedure is right for you, and continuity of care from consultation through follow-up. Dr Mickey holds MBBS, MS (Ophthalmology), FICO (London) and MRCS (Edinburgh), and has performed more than 4,000 eye surgeries.
Why Mumbai patients choose us for laser cataract surgery (lacs)
- 01Three Mumbai clinics — pick the one closest to home or office. Continuity of care is preserved across all three.
What Is Laser Cataract Surgery (LACS)?
In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses a blade and manual ultrasound to open the lens capsule and break up the cloudy lens. In LACS, a femtosecond laser performs the capsulotomy (the circular opening in the lens bag) and pre-softens the cataract — reducing the ultrasound energy needed and making the procedure more predictable and reproducible.
Who Is It For?
This procedure is generally suited to patients meeting the following criteria:
- Patients with cataract affecting vision or daily activities
- Those opting for premium intraocular lenses (multifocal, toric) where precision is critical
- Patients with astigmatism wishing to address both cataract and corneal irregularity simultaneously
- Diabetics or those with eye conditions needing the most careful surgical approach
What Happens During the Procedure?
Each step is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind.
- Step 1: Femtosecond laser creates a perfectly circular capsulotomy and softens the lens
- Step 2: Reduced ultrasound phacoemulsification to aspirate the softened lens
- Step 3: Premium IOL folded and implanted into the empty lens capsule
- Step 4: No sutures — incision is self-sealing
Recovery & What to Expect
Vision begins improving within 24–48 hours. Full stability of the new lens may take 4–6 weeks. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops are used for 4 weeks. Avoid bending, heavy lifting, and water in the eye for the first 2 weeks.
Benefits
Patients choosing this procedure typically experience the following benefits:
- Greater precision than manual cataract surgery, especially for premium lens placement
- Reduced phaco energy — gentler on the eye's delicate inner lining
- Better visual outcomes for astigmatic patients
- Ideal for patients wanting spectacle independence after surgery
