Cataract Surgery
The human eye has a natural lens, which is normally transparent and helps to focus the light on the retina and thus form a clear image. When this lens becomes cloudy, usually due to ageing, it is called Cataract or Safed Motiya/ Motiyabind. This obstructs the light and causes vision to become hazy.
Why does Cataract Occur?
Ageing is a common cause of cataracts. As part of the natural ageing process, the proteins in the lens become altered leading to opacification. At a younger age, it may occur due to injuries, diseases like Diabetes, hypothyroidism, inflammation, radiation, and medications like steroids. It can also occur in children and be congenital & hereditary.
Now if you want to have a detailed look into Assessing the Need for Cataract Surgery: When is the Right Time?Here is the Blog, which will be a complete guide for you.
Who is at risk for developing Cataract?
- People who are 65+ years of age
- Diabetics
- Prolonged Steroid users
- Eye Injuries- Blunt trauma, injury with sharp object
- Excessive exposure to UV light
- Smokers
- Radiation exposure
- Eye conditions like High Myopia & Uveitis
Common symptoms of Cataract
The commonest symptom is a progressive blurring of vision. The vision maybe more hazy in bright or low light. Altered perception of colours, glare & sensitivity to bright light, difficulty in night driving, seeing multiple images, frequent changes in the power of glasses are some of the other problems that occur. Cataract usually develops in both eyes, but maybe more in one eye.
How can Cataract be treated?
Surgery is the only way to remove cataracts. There are no medications, eye drops or exercises that have proven to delay development or cause cataracts to disappear once they have formed. A healthy lifestyle may delay the onset of cataract. Glasses may temporarily help to improve vision, but the only definitive cure is surgery. Cataract cannot be treated by laser alone, a surgical incision is required.
Is Cataract surgery safe?
Yes, cataract surgery with intraocular implant is an extremely safe procedure. It is a daycare procedure taking just around half an hour. If you have cataract in both eyes, then one is operated at a time with a gap of a few days. A small incision is made in the eye through which the lens is removed and replaced with a permanent artificial lens. There are many different techniques used though the gold standard is Phacoemulsification.
