CATARACT CLINIC

CATARACT IS CURABLE. DON’T LET CATARACT SYMPTOMS AFFECT YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

Cataract is a leading cause of age-related preventable blindness worldwide

Did you know that 62.6% of all blindness in India is a result of cataract, which means that it is reversible with timely surgery and can be completely avoided?

Cataract is a commonly occurring vision problem that develops as you grow older, due to clouding of the eye’s natural crystalline lens caused by a gradual build-up of proteins. Most people develop cataracts after the age of 60, in one or both eyes. Cataract symptoms include hazy, blurred or double vision, sensitivity to light and glare, difficulty seeing in poor lighting conditions, difficulty in distinguishing contrast changes, and dull colours. Without cataract treatment, your vision will continue to deteriorate and affect daily activities.

Cataract eye surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide, where the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens for clear vision. Advances in cataract surgery techniques have made this procedure efficient and safe, with more predictable refractive outcomes, minor or very rare cataract complications, and quicker cataract surgery recovery time.

Cataract surgery patients at aashirwad eye hospital are offered an individualized treatment plan based on the age, the severity of cataract vision loss, and daily activities to obtain the best vision possible post-cataract surgery.

GRADES OF CATARACT

PHACOEMULSIFICATION

Phacoemulsification – is a sutureless type of cataract surgery wherein a machine with an ultrasound probe is used to emulsify (break down and remove). As the entire cataract is emulsified in situ, a smaller incision of 2.4-2.8 mm is sufficient for this cataract procedure (smaller incision size results in lesser astigmatism and thus better quality of vision). A foldable intraocular lens is implanted after the emulsification of the nucleus. This surgery is performed under topical anesthesia as a day care procedure after which the patient is free to go home. This is a painless and modern cataract surgery technique that offers quick healing and faster recovery.

MICS (MICRO INCISION CATARACT SURGERY)

MICS (Micro Incision Cataract Surgery) – In this type of advanced cataract surgery, the standard phacoemulsification is performed with an incision size ranging between 2.2-2.4 mm as it has the benefit of faster healing and induces lesser astigmatism.
