What Is a Cataract?

A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, much like a camera lens that gets foggy. As a cataract develops, vision becomes blurry, and lights may appear too bright, making everyday tasks like reading or driving at night challenging.

Impact on Vision:

Having a cataract is like looking through a foggy window—everything appears blurry, colors may fade, and light sensitivity increases. Cataract symptoms include:

Blurry or cloudy vision
Difficulty seeing at night
Increased sensitivity to light
Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription

Prevalence of Cataracts:

Cataracts are incredibly common, especially after the age of 40. They are the leading cause of vision loss worldwide and a significant issue in India. The good news is, cataracts are treatable, and surgery is the most effective solution to regain clear vision.

Causes and Symptoms of Cataracts

While aging is the most common cause of cataracts, other factors can contribute, including:

Diabetes

Eye injuries

Excessive sun exposure

Family history

Symptoms of Cataracts:

If you're experiencing blurry vision, double vision, trouble with bright lights, or frequent changes in your glasses prescription, it might be time to visit an eye specialist.
Dr. Vashisht emphasizes the importance of early intervention—catching cataracts early can lead to easier surgery and faster recovery.

Cataract Surgery Treatment Options

At Kailash Eye Care, we offer the latest cataract surgery treatments to help you regain clear vision. Our goal is to provide a safe, effective, and quick recovery process for all our patients.

1. Phacoemulsification (Stitchless Cataract Surgery):
Phacoemulsification is the most advanced and common method for cataract surgery. With this technique:

• We make a tiny incision in the eye, no stitches required!

• Using ultrasound waves, we break up the cloudy lens into small pieces, which are then removed gently through the micro-opening.

• A clear, artificial lens is placed into the eye, restoring your vision.

Benefits of Phacoemulsification:

• Quick recovery

• Minimal discomfort

• Same-day discharge

• Immediate improvement in vision

2. Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE):
For more complex cataracts, we may recommend Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE). This technique involves:

• A slightly larger incision to remove the cataract in one piece.

• Insertion of a new artificial lens to restore clear vision.
Benefits of ECCE:

• Effective for harder or more advanced cataracts.

• Excellent results with proper aftercare.
• Longer recovery time than Phacoemulsification, but still very successful.

Did You Know?

Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss worldwide. While we can't prevent them entirely, protecting your eyes from UV rays and having regular eye exams can slow their progression. Regular check-ups are essential for catching cataracts early and preventing further complications.
