Refractive Cataract Surgery
Refractive cataract surgery is an advanced ophthalmological procedure offered at Moolchand Hospital, one of the best eye hospitals in Delhi. It goes beyond traditional cataract surgery by combining the removal of a cloudy natural lens with precise implantation of a premium intraocular lens (IOL) designed to correct pre-existing refractive errors — enabling patients to achieve clear, spectacle-free vision at multiple distances after their cataract procedure.
Traditional cataract surgery focuses solely on restoring vision impaired by the cataract and typically leaves patients dependent on glasses for distance, near, or both. Refractive cataract surgery, by contrast, uses sophisticated pre-operative measurements, advanced biometry, and premium IOL selection to address the patient's complete optical needs in a single procedure.
At Moolchand Hospital in Lajpat Nagar, refractive cataract surgery is performed using the latest phacoemulsification technology, with ultrasound energy precisely fragmenting and removing the cloudy lens through a micro-incision of 2–2.8mm, avoiding the need for stitches. Premium IOL options include monofocal toric lenses (correcting astigmatism), multifocal IOLs (providing clear vision at near, intermediate, and distance), extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses, and trifocal lenses, each offering distinct advantages for different visual lifestyle needs.
Laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS — Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery) is also available at Moolchand Hospital, using a computer-controlled femtosecond laser to perform the most critical steps of the procedure with sub-micron precision, improving safety, accuracy of IOL centration, and visual outcomes.
Our expert ophthalmologists conduct comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including IOL master biometry, corneal topography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to select the most appropriate lens for each patient's unique visual requirements.
Our team of globally acclaimed super specialists has pioneered several refractive cataract surgery surgeries.

Pediatric cataract surgery
Pediatric cataract surgery is the surgical removal of a cloudy lens from a child's eye, performed urgently when vision-threatening opacity is present, to prevent amblyopia (lazy eye) and enable normal visual development through lens implantation or optical rehabilitation.
Phacoemulsification and stitch-less foldable lens implantation surgery
Phacoemulsification with stitch-less foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the gold standard modern cataract surgery — using ultrasound energy to emulsify the cloudy lens through a tiny self-sealing incision, followed by implantation of a foldable artificial lens, restoring clear vision without sutures.
Refractive cataract surgery
Refractive cataract surgery combines cataract removal with advanced premium intraocular lens (IOL) implantation to simultaneously treat cataracts and correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, reducing or eliminating dependence on glasses.
