What is Cataract?

A Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, it is the clouding that occurs in the usually clear eye lens. The clouded vision caused by cataracts makes it difficult to do daily activities, when the impaired vision starts affecting the usual activities, the patient might need cataract surgery. Otherwise, if the patient is in the beginning stage, then stronger lighting and eyeglasses will help to deal with cataracts.

Symptoms

The primary symptom of cataract is clouded vision, the cloudiness increases as time progresses and can even lead to blindness. The other symptoms of cataracts include difficulty in night vision, light and glare sensitivity, requiring bright light for clarity, halos around lights, frequent changes in eyeglass prescription, difficulty in reading, fading colours and double vision in one eye. If you observe any of these symptoms, then don’t wait another minute to get a comprehensive eye checkup with our ophthalmologists at Abate Eye Hospital.

Diagnosis and Treatment

A regular eye examination by an ophthalmologist is the most effective way to diagnose cataracts. During the exam, the doctor will review your medical history and symptoms and conduct tests such as a visual acuity test, slit-lamp examination, retinal exam, and applanation tonometry.

When prescription glasses no longer provide clear vision, cataract surgery becomes the only effective treatment. However, you don’t have to wait until the condition worsens—consult with your ophthalmologist to determine the right time for surgery. While delaying surgery won’t impact recovery, considering the benefits and risks is essential.

The procedure involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which remains a permanent part of the eye. In rare cases where an artificial lens isn’t suitable, eyeglasses or contact lenses can help correct vision after surgery. Mild discomfort is common for a few days post-surgery, with complete recovery typically within a few weeks. If cataracts are present in both eyes, the second surgery is scheduled only after the first eye has fully healed.
