A cataract is a common condition affecting the older population. A cataract is a clouding of the natural transparent lens that focuses the light entering the eye onto the retina. Cataracts can cloud your vision and make it difficult to see clearly. But with our advanced cataract treatment, you can regain your sight and get back to your favorite activities. Matri Prerna Eye Hospital excels in the field of cataract surgery and people regard it as one of the best eye hospitals in Ranchi for cataract surgery.
Risk Factors
- Risk of cataract increases as you get older
- Certain systemic diseases, particularly diabetes mellitus
- Certain eye diseases like uveitis
- Environmental factors, particularly prolonged exposure to ultraviolet sunlight
- Personal behavior, particularly smoking & alcohol use
- Certain medications, particularly prolonged use of corticosteroids
- History of eye injury or radiation treatment on your upper body or previous eye surgery
Symptoms
There is a large spectrum of visual symptoms associated with cataract. These symptoms may include blurring of vision, increased sensitivity to light (glare), “Halos” around lights, difficulty seeing in low light situations, loss of contrast sensitivity, loss of ability to discern colors, frequent change of glasses & improved near vision.
Prevention
No studies have proved how to prevent cataracts or slow the progression of cataracts. But doctors think several strategies may be helpful, including having regular eye examination, quitting smoking & alcohol use, managing other health problems particularly diabetes, choosing a healthy & balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits & vegetables, & wearing sunglasses to block ultraviolet rays when outdoors.
Treatment
Cataracts can be removed only by surgery. Surgery is the only definitive treatment.
- The symptoms of early cataract may be improved with new glasses, brighter lighting, anti – glare sunglasses or magnifying lenses.
- If cataracts are preventing you from doing the things you want or need to do, it may be time to consider surgery. This is especially true when cataracts start to interfere with your everyday activities, such as reading, driving, or watching TV. In fact, when your vision is significantly impaired by cataracts and non-surgical interventions like glasses or contacts are no longer effective, surgery can be a great option. By removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, cataract surgery can dramatically improve your vision and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.
- Delay in surgery causes progressive deterioration of vision which is a major cause for accidents in the older population like fall in the bathroom or missing a step on the stairs.
- Despite our traditional Indian beliefs, it is actually easier, safer, and highly recommended to remove a cataract during its immature stage, rather than waiting for it to mature.
- Also, weather / climate has no effect on the safety and outcome of cataract surgery.
Cataract Surgery
- Surgery is usually “outpatient” (day care) & usually performed using local anesthesia.
- Surgery involves removing the cloudy lens & replacing it with a permanent, artificial lens (intraocular lens).
