Cataract
The clouding of the natural crystalline lens is called cataract. It
occurs in old age in everyone. Cataract can also occur in children or
adolescents. Patients with diabetes mellitus, may develop cataract
earlier in their life.
How does cataract affect vision?
The amount of cloudiness of the lens determines the loss of vision. The various symptoms of cataract include
- blurred vision
- glare in the presence of bright light
- image distortion
How is cataract treated?
Till date, the only definitive treatment for cataract is surgery.
When should cataract be removed?
Cataract needs to be operated upon and removed when it hampers the patient’s visual requirements. It is not necessary to wait for the cataract to become “ripe” or mature to be removed as in earlier times.
At Uma Eye Clinic, phacoemulsification, the latest surgery for cataract is performed for cataract removal. The cataract is removed through a very small incision by phacoemulsification in which ultrasonic aspiration of the cataract is done. The surgery is done without any injections and no suture is applied at the end of the surgery. For this surgery, we use the latest SIGNATURE PHACOEMULSIFICAITON MACHINE WITH ELLIPSE TECHNOLOGY. A foldable intraocular lens is implanted through this small incision at the end of surgery. Multifocal intraocular lenses, when implanted eliminate the need for glasses for both distance and near vision. The patient can go home immediately after surgery and no pad is applied to the eyes after surgery.
