Cataract is one of the common reasons for blindness all over the world. It occurs when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, causing blurred or dim vision. This clouding can interfere with daily tasks such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces. In the early stages, brighter lighting and updated eyeglasses may help. Cataract surgery becomes necessary if vision impairment starts to affect your quality of life.
At Abate Eye Hospital in Chennai, our Cataract Department is a trusted centre for advanced cataract care. Our expert cataract specialists offer safe, accurate, and personalised treatments for cataracts at every stage. With advanced diagnostic technology and surgical precision, we ensure the highest level of care and successful outcomes. Since cataracts can worsen over time and lead to permanent vision loss, early diagnosis and timely surgery are essential.
Cloudy or blurred vision is the most common early sign of cataracts, and it gradually worsens over time—potentially leading to blindness if left untreated. Other common symptoms include difficulty seeing at night, increased sensitivity to light and glare, the need for brighter lighting, seeing halos around lights, frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions, trouble reading, faded colours, and double vision in one eye. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, don’t delay—schedule a comprehensive eye examination with our expert cataract specialists in Chennai.
The most reliable way to detect cataracts is through a comprehensive eye exam by an ophthalmologist. This typically includes a review of your medical history, a visual acuity test, slit-lamp examination, retinal assessment, and eye pressure measurement (tonometry).
When vision can no longer be corrected with prescription glasses, cataract surgery becomes the only effective solution. However, surgery doesn’t need to be delayed until the condition severely worsens. Your ophthalmologist will help determine the ideal time based on your symptoms and lifestyle needs.
Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which remains in the eye permanently. In rare situations where an IOL isn't suitable, vision correction with glasses or contact lenses may be recommended. Mild discomfort is normal after surgery, with full recovery expected within a few weeks. If both eyes are affected, the second procedure is performed once the first eye has healed.
