Cataracts are a common vision problem that has become a household phenomenon. Cataracts affect a person mostly during old age
A cataract develops when a layer of protein starts accumulating in the eyes, which makes the lens cloudy and the vision blurred
The problem arises when such issues are left unattended. It can lead to severe eye problems as complex as blindness. Medical inventions have reached new heights in the present times. As a result, cataract surgery has become more effective and reliable when conducted under expert supervision.
The first step in diagnosing cataracts is a thorough eye examination. Based on the result, ophthalmologists recommend surgery. Cataract Surgery is a reliable and convenient method for curing cataract-related vision problems. In this process, the cloudy, damaged natural lens is removed, and an artificial lens is placed in its position through surgery. The artificial lens, also known as an intraocular lens (IOL), helps patients get clear vision.
After the surgery, the patients enjoy clearer vision, and they can perform daily activities without any hindrance. Cataract surgeries are less painful and don’t require elaborate measures. At Shruta Eye Care, we have a dedicated team of professionals working to ensure our patient’s well-being. We are committed to providing our patients with comfortable and reliable services to meet their unique requirements and needs.
Cataract is caused mainly due to old age. Apart from that, hereditary factors, medical conditions like diabetes, prolonged medications, or certain injuries may lead to the formation of cataracts.
If you have blurred vision or a cloudy lens, you may be having cataracts. Individuals may also feel their vision has become sensitive to light, find it difficult to see at night, and perform daily work. In such cases, it is essential to visit an ophthalmologist in order to confirm the occurrence of the cataract and its treatment
Cataract surgery is not painful. Before the operation, local anesthesia is applied to numb the area. After the surgery, ophthalmologists recommend medicines to ensure that the patient doesn’t have painful or uncomfortable experiences.
The surgery usually takes 15-20 minutes to be completed. However, the pre-operative and post-operative time required is more to ensure that the entire surgery is conducted, maintaining all safety norms
There are a number of Intraocular lenses, including mono-focal, multifocal, or toric lenses. You can choose the type of lens you want, but only after consulting your ophthalmologist to ensure the best results.
You might need glasses, but that depends on your eye condition. Some people need glasses for reading purposes or while working under low light.
The after-effects of cataract surgery mostly are mild. Patients might feel a bit of discomfort or sensitivity to light after the surgery. Infections, if occurred, may also occur but can be cured with proper medication.
It usually takes a few days to recover after surgery. However, doctors usually recommend that patients stay away from strenuous activities for at least a few weeks after the surgery to avoid strains on the eyes.
Operating both eyes at the same time is possible. However, to reduce complications, doctors usually opt for cataract surgery in one eye at a time.
Cataract surgery ensures a clear vision, but driving immediately after the surgery may not be recommended. You will be asked to visit your doctor for a follow-up session after surgery, and based on your eye condition, your doctor will confirm whether you can drive.
