Cataract :

Cataracts are a common eye problem in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Cataracts usually develop in old age due to a breakdown of the structure of the lens. The cloudy patches that develop in the lens make it difficult for the affected individual to see. Cataract patients describe their condition as seeing the world from a dirty window. An individual affected by this condition may also become sensitive to bright lights or complain of double vision.

An eye specialist can diagnose cataract by doing a slit lamp test. There is only one treatment for cataracts and it is cataract eye surgery. The surgery involves removing the lens of the eye. Once the natural lens is removed, the doctor replaces it with an intraocular lens, which is an artificial lens. The artificial lens can not only fix the cataract, but it can also correct refractive errors.

Questions & Answers
Q:
My mother has cataracts in both eyes. If she undergoes cataract surgery in one eye, do I have to undergo surgery in the other eye also?

What are the common signs of cataracts?

Signs and symptoms of cataracts vary from person to person. Individuals with cataracts may not notice any symptoms at first, but as they grow, they can cause specific changes in the vision, such as:

  • Cloudy or blurry vision
  • Poor night vision
  • Lights causing halo or glare 
  • Double vision in the affected eye
  • Colours look faded
  • Frequent changes of eyeglasses

What causes cataracts?

Age is the most common cause of cataracts. As an individual ages, the protein in the eye's lens starts to break down and clump together, leading to this cloudy formation.

However, it can also be caused by :

  • Ultraviolet radiation
  • Diseases such as diabetes
  • As a result of radiation therapy
  • Trauma
  • Long-term use of steroids and other medications
  • Smoking

What are the advantages of cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery is a transformative medical procedure with a range of benefits. It improves the overall quality of life by improving vision, enhancing color perception, reducing the glare and halos experienced during nighttime, and reducing dependency on glasses, fetching long-lasting results.
