Frequently Asked Questions
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred or hazy vision. Cataracts commonly develop gradually with age, although they can also occur for other reasons.
Yes, cataract in children can be present from birth or in young adults, due to various reasons like injury to the eyes or excess use of steroids, etc.
Cataract generally progresses with age. There are many indigenous or foreign medicines in the market that say, cataract is cured by applying them, which is a sham. Surgery is the only successful treatment for cataracts.
When the patient sees so little that it becomes difficult to do daily work, then it should be operated.
Cataract is a disease (normal change) with age whereas glaucoma is more likely to occur after 40 years of age. Redness, watering, and pain are common in glaucoma, but in cataract, the eyesight gradually decreases and there is no pain or redness. Eyesight comes back after a cataract, but the vision that is lost in glaucoma doesn’t come back. Therefore, glaucoma is said to be more dangerous.
The cataract operation is performed initially by numbing the eye and making a small incision. After this, we remove the natural lens that has lost its transparency and replace it with an artificial lens.
Yes, if the lens is not implanted inside the eyes after the cataract operation, then the patient will have to wear thick glasses around the number 10, and without these glasses, the operated eye won’t be able to see anything. After the lens is installed, the patient can do daily work without glasses.
Whether you need glasses after cataract surgery depends on the type of lens implanted, your eyes and your vision needs. Some patients may still need glasses for reading, distance vision or certain activities after surgery. Your doctor will discuss the suitable lens options and expected vision with you before the procedure.
Most patients recover within a few days, but it may take a few weeks for your vision to fully stabilize.
The procedure is generally painless as it is performed under topical or local anesthesia. Some patients may experience mild discomfort after the surgery.
