Cataract Surgery

A cataract is decrease in vision created by clouding or opacity in the natural eye-lens’. The cause of this clouding/opacity is not clearly understood, but most cataracts are caused by changes in the protein structures within the lens. In a normal eye, light passes through the transparent lens to the retina. Once it reaches the retina, light is changed into nerve signals that are sent to the brain.The lens must be clear for the retina to receive a sharp image. If the lens is cloudy from a cataract, the image you see will be blurred.

If you notice symptoms like:
✔ Blurry or cloudy vision
✔ Difficulty seeing at night
✔ Faded or yellowish colors
✔ Sensitivity to bright lights
✔ Frequent changes in glasses prescription

Then, it’s time to consult the best eye specialist in Lucknow at Vinayak Netralaya. Early diagnosis and timely surgery can restore clear vision and improve your quality of life.

• Vision seems like seeing through the cloud
• Unable to see well with the old spectacles
• Bright colors appear dull
• Glare at night time
• Sharp images appear blurred
• Light sensitivity from car lights at night
• “Second sight” in which the near vision becomes possible again without glasses for near
• Frequent changes of glasses

• Most common cause is aging
• Health problems like diabetes
• Medications such as steroids
• Inherited or developmental problems
• Trauma to the eye

The goal of cataract surgery is to replace the clouded lens entirely with a synthetic intraocular lens (IOL) made from silicone or acrylic compounds. Here, the cataract surgeon makes a circular incision around the membrane that encloses the eye’s natural lens. Once the underlying lens is exposed, it is broken into smaller pieces with a laser or an ultrasonic device and sucked out of its place.

Unfortunately, there are no specific guidelines that can prevent cataracts from forming. Still, the cataract changes reduce by limiting your exposure to sunlight, decreasing or discontinuing smoking, and eating a balanced diet.

Cataract is usually a safe surgery. However, as with any surgery, cataract surgery poses risks of infection and bleeding. Before the surgery, your doctor may ask you to temporarily stop taking certain medications that increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. After surgery, you must keep your eye clean, wash your hands before touching your eye, and use the prescribed medications to help minimize the risk of infection. Serious infection, though rare, can result in loss of vision.

Cataract surgery may slightly increase the risk of retinal detachment in certain cases with underlying problems. Other eye disorders, such as high myopia (nearsightedness), can further increase your risk of retinal detachment after cataract surgery. One sign of a retinal detachment is a sudden increase in flashes or floaters in front of the eyes. A retinal detachment is a medical emergency. Early treatment for retinal detachment may prevent permanent loss of vision.
