Successful Surgery Restores Vision for Patient with Complex Cataract at PMCH

Udaipur: The Department of Ophthalmology at Pacific Medical College and Hospital successfully restored the vision of a 65-year-old patient by performing a complex cataract surgery. This patient, a resident of Kishangarh, Ajmer, had been able to see with only one eye since birth, but eventually, cataracts led to complete vision loss in that eye as well. After struggling with this issue for several years and consulting numerous local doctors, he was advised to seek treatment at a higher-level medical center due to the complexity of the condition and the risks associated with surgery.

The patient consulted Dr. Rajendra Chaudhary, an ophthalmologist at Pacific Hospital in Bhilwara, who diagnosed the complex cataract after thorough examination. The decision was made to perform surgery, and the patient was also informed about the potential risks. The surgical team, including ophthalmic surgeon Dr. Rajendra Chaudhary, anesthesiologist Dr. Prakash Audichya, Dr. Vijay Chahar, Dr. Saloni Singh, Harish Prajapat, and Heeralal, played a crucial role in the successful operation.

Dr. Rajendra Chaudhary explained that the case was so complex that there was a significant risk of damaging the eye’s structure during surgery, potentially leading to complete vision loss. However, with the advanced facilities and the expertise of the medical team at PMCH, the surgery was successfully performed.

Dr. Chaudhary emphasized that timely treatment is crucial in cataract cases. If patients seek timely consultation and appropriate medical care, many complications can be avoided.

The patient and his family expressed their gratitude to the hospital management, doctors, and the entire team for their care and support.
