Cataract
Let's understand what is Cataract
- A cataract is an eye problem where there is clouding of the ACTUAL clear lens of your eye.
- People experiencing cataracts generally feel like seeing through cloudy lenses or is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window.
- It occurs when proteins build-up gradually, forming a cloudy-layer and start interfering the vision.
- It results difficulty in reading, driving or even viewing a person’s face.
- It can lead to complete blindness if left untreated.

Treatment for Cataract
Cataract are eye problems which are commonly inferred to as completely treatable. Surgery is recommended when cataracts prevent you from going about your daily activities, such as reading or driving. If you're unable or
uninterested in surgery, your doctor may be able to help you manage your symptoms. They may suggest stronger eyeglasses, magnifying lenses, or sunglasses with an anti-glare coating.
Cataract Surgery Procedures
The different types of surgeries or procedures for treating cataract are:
I. Device producing ultrasound waves-Sometime a device that produces ultrasound waves may be inserted. These waves help in breaking the cloudy lens. Thereafter the broken particles are removed and an intraocular
lens (IOL) is implanted in the natural lens capsule.
2. Extra capsular surgery-This is also known as large-incision surgery where a larger cut is made so that the entire affected part can be removed in one piece. Thereafter it is replaced with an intraocular (IOL) lens.
3. Femtosecond laser surgery-This is a technology aided, computer-guided laser cataract surgery wherein treatment is programmed by the surgeon to break up the affected lens.
Cataracts are completely treatable. If you're unsure you require surgery, get in touch with us today to know if you require surgery and details of cataract operation cost.
