Clear Vision Ahead:
Restore Your Clarity with Cataract Surgery
A standard eye condition in which the lens in an eye becomes cloudy, leading to poor eyesight, is known as cataracts. Such cloudiness develops slowly over time and may affect one or both of the eyes. Cataracts are standard components of ageing but can also come from injury, some medications, or diseases like diabetes.
SYMPTOMS
Blurry or Cloudy Vision
Objects may appear hazy, blurry, or less colourful than usual.
Sensitivity to Light
Glare from headlights, lamps, or sunlight may become bothersome, causing difficulty in seeing clearly.
Double Vision
In advanced cases, seeing multiple images of a single object, especially in one eye, can occur.
Difficulty Seeing at Night
Vision may worsen in low-light conditions, making activities like driving at night more challenging.
Frequent Changes in Eyeglass Prescription
As cataracts progress, vision changes may require frequent updates to eyeglass prescriptions.
SURGICAL PROCEDURE
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly undertaken procedures globally; it is very safe, too! It is mostly conducted on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, whereby the surgeon gently removes the cloudy lens through a small opening in the eye.
TYPES OF SURGERY
01.Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is the most common technique. In this technique, ultrasound energy breaks up the cloudy lens into small pieces, which are then removed from the eye.
02.Extracapsular Surgery
In some cases, an advanced cataract is removed in one piece through a larger incision, followed by the implantation of an intraocular lens to restore vision. This is known as extracapsular cataract extraction.
03.Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation
After your misty lens is removed, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted to replace it. IOLs come as monofocal, multifocal, or toric lenses, all of which correct different visual problems.
RECOVERY :
Most patient’s vision improves within a few days following cataract surgery, and full recovery takes place rapidly. Healing drops may be used to facilitate faster healing and prevent infections.
Post-operative Care :
During this period, patients should avoid strenuous activities that may expose their eyes to irritants. Follow-up visits with the eye surgeon are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal visual outcomes.
