Cataract Surgery in Ashok Vihar — Practically Next Door
Ashok Vihar and Adarsh Nagar share a boundary — which means Save Sight Centre is one of the closest full-service eye hospitals to your home, not a hospital across town. We offer PHACO, MICS and FLACS cataract surgery, with every lens option priced from ₹15,000 per eye.
How Close Is Save Sight Centre, Really?
If you live anywhere in Ashok Vihar — Phase 1 through Phase 4, or near Bonta Park and Kamla Nehru Park — Save Sight Centre is one of the nearest specialised eye hospitals to you, not a distant destination. Azadpur, right next to Ashok Vihar, sits between the two, which is why patients often tell us the drive feels shorter than expected. Dr. Rajeev Jain and Dr. Shuchi Gupta see patients from Ashok Vihar for cataract, glaucoma and general eye care, and both are personally involved from your first consultation through your final post-surgery check-up.
By Car / Auto · ~8-10 min
Around 2-3 km via Azadpur — one of the shortest hospital commutes in North Delhi.
By Metro · ~12-15 min
Walk or auto to Azadpur Metro Station, then one stop on the Yellow Line to Adarsh Nagar.
On Foot · ~20-25 min
For residents closer to the Adarsh Nagar boundary, it's a genuinely walkable distance.
Address: A-14, G.T. Karnal Road, opposite Adarsh Nagar Metro Station, Adarsh Nagar, North Delhi.
PHACO, MICS, FLACS: What's the Actual Difference?
These three names can feel like alphabet soup when you're first researching cataract surgery. In simple terms, they're three ways of removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial one — the difference lies in the tools used and the incision size. Save Sight Centre offers all three, so your surgeon can pick the one that fits your eye rather than fitting your eye to whatever equipment happens to be available.
None of these is objectively "better" — the right one depends on your eye, which your surgeon will assess in person.
Picking a Lens: Monofocal, Multifocal or EDOF?
Once the cataract is removed, it's replaced with an artificial lens — and this choice affects how often you'll reach for glasses afterward. Save Sight Centre stocks Monofocal, Multifocal/Trifocal and EDOF lenses, with Toric versions of each available for patients who also have astigmatism.
Monofocal Lens (Toric Available)
Clear vision at a single distance — usually paired with reading glasses.
Multifocal / Trifocal Lens (Toric Available)
Covers near, mid and far vision — the closest thing to glasses-free living.
EDOF Lens (Toric Available)
A stretched, continuous focus zone — fewer night-glare complaints than multifocals.
What Will Cataract Surgery Actually Cost You?
We list our rates on this page for a reason — you shouldn't have to visit in person just to find out what something costs. These are the exact figures our counsellors quote at the clinic.
Your surgeon confirms the final price after assessing your eye and lens preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cataract symptoms build up slowly — cloudy or blurry vision, colours looking faded, and glare from headlights at night. Tired eyes usually improve with rest; cataract symptoms don't. A quick check-up at Save Sight Centre can confirm which one you're dealing with.
No — Save Sight Centre uses local anaesthesia with numbing drops, so you'll feel pressure at most, not pain, during the procedure.
The procedure itself usually takes 10-20 minutes per eye, though you should plan for a couple of hours at the clinic including preparation and initial monitoring.
Yes, we recommend bringing a family member or friend, since you won't be able to drive yourself home right after the procedure. Given how close Ashok Vihar is, most patients are back home within the hour.
Multifocal or Trifocal lenses are built for exactly this — they're designed to reduce your need for glasses across near, mid and far distances. Your surgeon at Save Sight Centre will confirm if you're a good candidate during your evaluation.
Most insurance policies cover cataract surgery since it's medically necessary. Save Sight Centre's team can check your specific plan's cashless approval before your surgery date.
Left untreated, a cataract gradually worsens and can significantly impair vision, though it isn't usually an emergency. Still, waiting too long can make daily tasks like reading and driving unsafe, so it's worth getting evaluated once symptoms start.
Being just a short drive from Ashok Vihar, Save Sight Centre offers cataract surgery starting at ₹15,000 per eye across all lens types, with the exact cost depending on the lens and technique your surgeon recommends.
