Cataract - Don't Let Age-Related Blindness Impact Your Life
India reports approximately 20 lakh cases of cataractous lens changes, with an increasing incidence of age-related cataract blindness, primarily due to lifestyle modifications. Cataract occurs when the natural, transparent lenses of the eyes turn opaque and prevent light from reaching the retina. Apart from aging, which is the most frequent reason for the development of cataracts, others are by birth or congenital, infection, trauma, and specific metabolic disorders.
While the cataract forms, you may experience progressive worsening of your eyesight. This poor vision increasingly impacts your daily life, which can annoy you. In this scenario, or for optimal cataract treatment, choose a reputable and affordable hospital like Drishtideep Eye Institute, where expert surgeons deliver world-class cataract surgery services.

- Types of Cataract Surgeries
The type of surgery is determined based on the type of cataract. These are-
Depending on the type of Cataract, types of surgery is decided. These include-
Phacoemulsification
The doctor performs the incision in the cornea and inserts a thin probe inside the eye. The probe is inserted with ultrasound pulses. These waves shatter your cataract. The fragments are then sucked out. The lens capsule is left intact to provide space for the implantation of an artificial lens.
Extra-capsular Cataract Extraction
This technique includes creating a slightly larger incision. Surgery instruments are threaded through the incision to dissect the lens nucleus and cortical material. The prosthetic lens is positioned within the remaining lens capsule. Stitches may be needed with this technique. IOLs, or intraocular lenses, are artificial lenses inserted after cataract removal.
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Surgery
During this operation, the surgeon removes the front covering of the lens by cutting an extremely tiny incision using a femtosecond laser. Still, we can't finish cataract surgery with femtosecond laser technology. It will aid in the initial step of the process, after which the Phacoemulsification machine is employed to get rid of the real cataractous lens.
Cataract Surgery at Drishtideep- Give Your Eyes A Clear Vision
To recover vision due to cataracts, the Ophthalmologist or the surgeon extracts the opaque lens of the eye while performing cataract surgery and substitutes it with an artificial intraocular lens. To restore vision, the surgeon performs cataract surgery, which involves removing the original from the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens. A careful eye check-up is conducted before the surgery, involving the check-up of all the layers of the eye, grading of cataracts, measurement of the precise power of the artificial lens, taking into consideration different factors, and then counseling on the best sort of intraocular lens based on patient suitability.
