Mumbai has become the first city in western India to introduce the latest generation UNITY Robotic 4D cataract surgery system, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of eye care in India. Speaking about this advancement, Dr Cyres Mehta, Chief of Surgery at the International Eye Centre, said the technology represents a major shift in how cataract surgery is performed.

The UNITY 4D system was released internationally only recently, following its European launch in October 2025. Dr. Mehta attended the European Society convention and formal training programme in Copenhagen before bringing the technology to Mumbai, where it was installed  on January 1, 2026.
