Cataract

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside the eye, leading to blurred vision, faded colors, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to light. Normally, the lens focuses light clearly onto the retina to produce sharp images. However, with age or due to other factors like injury, diabetes, smoking, or prolonged exposure to UV rays, the lens can become cloudy.

Cataracts are a progressive condition — they typically worsen over time if left untreated. They are one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide but are highly treatable with modern medical techniques.

Cataract Treatment Options

1. Non-Surgical Management (Early Stage)

   • Prescription Glasses: Stronger eyeglasses, magnifying lenses, or better lighting may temporarily help in the early stages.

   • Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoiding night driving, using anti-glare sunglasses, and optimizing home lighting can improve daily functioning.

2. Surgical Management (Definitive Treatment)

   • Cataract Surgery is the only effective and permanent treatment for cataracts once they begin to seriously interfere with your daily life.

   • The procedure involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial Intraocular Lens (IOL).

   Modern cataract surgery is safe, quick, and highly effective. Some popular techniques include:

   • Phacoemulsification: The most common method; uses ultrasound waves to break up the cataract before suctioning it out.

   • Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS): A bladeless, highly precise method using laser technology for better outcomes.

   Types of IOLs available:

   • Monofocal IOLs: Focus at one distance (usually far).

   • Multifocal IOLs: Correct vision at multiple distances.

   • Toric IOLs: Correct astigmatism.

   • Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs: Provide a continuous range of vision, reducing the need for glasses.

Recovery after cataract surgery is typically fast — most patients notice significantly improved vision within a few days.
