Cataract services
A cataract is cloudiness or opacity of eye’s natural clear lens.Cataract blocks the light making it difficult to see clearly. Over an extended period of time, cataracts can cause blindness. It is a progressive and painless condition which is usually related to increasing age but can occur in younger age groups also.
Symptoms of cataract
- Progressive and painless loss of vision
- Seeing double (when you see two images instead of one)
- Being extra sensitive to light
- Having trouble seeing at night
- Need more light when you read
- Brightness and contrast of images decrease
- Colours become less distinct (bright colours look faded or yellow instead)
Causes of cataract
- Advancing age most common cause
- Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and other causes.
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Prolonged use of corticosteroid medications.
- Previous eye surgery or inflammation.
- High myopia
- Family history
- Alcohol consumption
Is there a cure?
Although research is currently underway, no preventive measures are known for cataract that develops with age. No diet, drugs or medicine have been proven to delay or cure the cataract. Only treatment is surgical. Cataract surgery is safe surgical procedure, with the appropriate lens implant.

Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery technique in which eye internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic hand piece and aspirated from the eye.IOL is implanted and surgery is completed without any stitch. The size of incision is only 1.8 mm to 2.2 mm long. The minute incision is self sealed and needs no suture or stitch to close it. The patient is back to normal activities within few days. To retain maximum benefit of miniature 2.2 mm incision a foldable IOL is used. Foldable IOL is inserted inside the eye in a fine tune and it unfolds to its full size once inside the eye.
Next generation monofocal IOL’S
Enjoy enhanced vision and and greater spectacle independence for a distance and intermediate vision with new generation monofocal IOL’S.
Toric IOL’S
A significant proportion of population has astigmatism ( cylindrical refractive error) that is not corrected with standard IOL’S resulting in need for spectacles for both distance and near vision. With the availability of cutting edge technology it is possible to implant customized IOL ‘S which have capability to correct cylindrical errors as well. These IOL ‘S are known as toric IOL’S and are available in both single focus and multifocal platforms. The use of these IOL’S offers greater chances of spectacle free vision to the patient.
Multifocal IOL’S
Artificial IOL’S that are designed to provide focus of both distance and near objects in contrast to monofocal IOL’S which only have one focal point and correct distance vision. These type of IOL’S provide great levels of patient satisfaction.
Trifocal IOL’S
This type of IOL’S have three points of focus and thus provides improved distance, near and intermediate vision.
