What is a Cataract?
A cataract is an eye disorder that affects the vision of a person suffering from it. Cataracts are formations of a dense and cloudy layer in the lens of the eyes. This layer obstructs the passage of light through the lens, resulting in unclear and blurred vision in the person affected by it.
The formation of cataracts happens when proteins in the eye accumulate at the lenses, preventing them from sending clear images to the retina (part of the eye that processes the things we see). The retina is responsible for sending signals to the brain through optic nerves to process vision as a response.
Here are some of the common cataract symptoms:
- Blurry Vision
- Night blindness
- Seeing faded colours
- Halos around lights
- Double vision
- Frequent change of glasses (for people with glasses)
- Sensitivity to glare
To get treatment for cataracts you will need to visit an eye specialist (opthalmologist). The doctor might perform certain diagnostic tests to determine the severity of cataracts and the damage caused by them. These diagnostic tests may include:
- Visual acuity test: The test checks the power of your eyes and the clarity with which you view objects.
- Retinal exam: This test images the backside of the retina to check for the signs of cataracts.
- Slit-lamp test: The slit lamp inspects the functioning of all parts of the eye.
- Tonometry test: This test determines the pressure inside the eyes.
The doctor can suggest the following surgeries for the treatment of cataracts:
Phacoemulsification
This is one of the most modern methods of cataract surgery. A small incision is done at the edge of the cornea of the eyes. A tiny device is inserted through it that emits high-frequency ultrasound vibration to dissolve the cataract formation. The dissolved parts are suctioned out of the eyes. The procedure is very quick and does not cause any pain to the eyes.
Micro incision cataract surgery (MICS)
This surgery requires a very high level of precision since an incision of 1.8 mm is done to reduce the invasion of the eyes. The cataract is removed surgically through the incision and minimises recovery time due to the minute nature of the incision.
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)
This surgery uses advanced laser-assisted technology to remove cataracts from the eyes. An optical imaging system is used to perform corneal incisions and fragments cataracts on the lenses.
