A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside your eye. This lens, located behind the iris, works just like the lens of a camera, focusing light images on the retina, which sends images to the brain. The human lens can become so clouded it keeps light and images from reaching the retina causing blurring of vision. Cataracts are the leading cause of visual loss in adults 55 and older.

What Causes a Cataract?

Cataract development is a normal process of aging, but cataracts may also develop from eye injuries, certain systemic diseases, medications or long term exposure to sunlight. Your genes may also play a role in cataract development- this is especially true in those developing a cataract at a very young age.

What are the symptoms of cataracts?

A cataract can cause images to become blurred and bright colors to become dull. It can also make seeing at night more difficult. Vision with cataracts is often described as seeing through an old, cloudy film. Is your vision blurry or foggy? Do colours appear dull or muted? Are your glasses no longer working? Does sunlight or other light seem overly bright or glaring? Do you have decreased night vision or see halos around lights? If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, you may have a cataract.

When is the best time to treat cataracts?

Many people believe cataracts have to be “ripe” before they can be removed. This is no longer true. Today, cataract surgery can be performed as soon as your vision interferes with the quality of your life.

There are no medications, eye drops, exercises or glasses that will cause cataracts to disappear or prevent them from forming. When you are no longer able to see well enough to do the things you like to do, cataract surgery should be considered.

In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed from the eye through a surgical incision and the natural lens is replaced with an intraocular implant (IOL).

What can you expect if you decide to have Cataract Surgery?

To determine if your cataract should be removed, your ophthalmologist will perform a thorough eye examination. Before surgery, your eye will be measured to determine the proper power of the intraocular lens that will be placed in your eye. Tell your doctor about all the other medications you are taking routinely and if you suffer from any other systemic condition such as diabetes, Hypertension, Heart disease, Epilepsy, Asthma etc.

What preparation is needed On the Day of Surgery?

Surgery is done as a day care procedure in a hospital/ Eye Centre . You are generally allowed to have a light breakfast on the morning of surgery unless the doctor has specifically told you to skip your breakfast. On arrival, you will be given dilating eye drops and a mild sedative sometimes, to make you comfortable. A local anesthetic will be used to numb your eye. Under the operating microscope, through a small surgical incision made in the eye, tiny surgical instruments are inserted and the cataractous lens is emulsified using ultrasonic power and sucked out. It is replaced by an intraocular implant (IOL). After surgery is completed, your doctor may place a shield/eye patch to cover your eye.

Care after Surgery

After Surgery –

Use the eye drops as prescribed

Be careful not to rub or press on your eye

Avoid strenuous activities until your ophthalmologist tells you to resume them

Wear eye glasses or an eye shield as advised by your doctor.

Is a laser used during cataract surgery?

Lasers are not used in cataract removal surgery. However now a days, certain steps of the surgery such as incisions and Capsulorrhexis may be performed using femtosecond laser.

The posterior lens Capsule(the part of the eye that holds the lens in place) sometimes becomes cloudy several months or years after the original cataract operation. If the cloudy capsule blurs your vision, your ophthalmologist may perform a small out patient procedure using laser called a YAG laser Posterior Capsulotomy, to make an opening in the cloudy lens capsule, restoring normal vision.

Will Cataract Surgery improve my vision?

The success rate of cataract surgery is excellent. Improved vision is achieved in the majority of patients if other ocular/retinal pathology is not present.

Are there any complications after cataract Surgery?

Although complications rarely occur, some possible serious complications of cataract surgery are –

Infection

Bleeding

Swelling of the retina and

Detachment of the retina etc

If you have any of the following symptoms after surgery, contact your doctor immediately…

Sudden increase in Pain

Sudden decrease in vision
