Cataract
Cataract occurs when pale patches appear in the eye lens or when the lens loses its transparency and becomes opaque, which is a frequent aging condition. Cataracts are a type of vision impairment that can affect one or both eyes. While it most typically affects people over the age of 40, people aged 65 and higher are the ones who are most at danger.
Cataract Surgery
The only way to get rid of a cataract is to get surgery. Our specialized doctors examine your eyes and determine the condition throughout the treatment phase. Following that, the magnitude of the eye problem and the patient's fitness for the operation are assessed based on the appropriate examinations.
​
In recent years, laser cataract surgery has become more popular as a result of technological advancements. FAKO and femtosecond lasers are the most used methods for cataract surgery. The patient's eye is sedated with drops before being placed under the femtosecond laser instrument for cataract therapy. After that, a computer-controlled laser makes an incision in the patient's eye, and the cataract lens is fractured in 30-40 seconds. The Phako gadget is used to vacuum clean these sections. After that, the prosthetic lens is inserted into the eye.
What Are The Signs and Symptoms of Cataract?
Double vision, blurriness, loss of night vision, sensitivity to light, progressive loss of vision, trouble reading, color fading, and a change in eye degree are all common symptoms of cataracts.
Following Cataract Surgery
The patient steadily improves their vision after cataract surgery. However, there may be burning, stinging, and watering in the eyes in the first few hours following surgery. Within 1-2 days, the quality of vision begins to improve. Within 10-15 days, the patient achieves the desired level of eyesight. The danger and complication rate are extremely minimal when surgery is performed correctly by skilled surgeons.
