CATARACT: SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENTS

A cataract is the muddying of the normally functioning lens of the eye. For individuals who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy eye lens is somewhat similar to glancing through a chilly or misted-up window. Obfuscated vision brought about by cataracts can make it increasingly hard to read anything, to drive a vehicle (particularly around evening time) or to see anyone’s face. 

Most cataracts grow gradually and don't upset eyesight from the get-go. However, with time, cataracts start interfering with the person’s vision. 

In beginning, more grounded lighting and eyeglasses can assist the individual with managing cataracts. However, whenever vision becomes weaken enough, it’s time to get the cataract surgery.Luckily, cataract surgery is a commonly protected and compelling method to regain the normal vision. 

There are many forms of Cataract: -

1. Cataract with Old Age
2. Congenital Cataract (People who are born with Cataracts.)
3. Secondary Cataract due to Diabetes, Ultraviolet Light or Radiation.
4. Injury to the eye

PREVENTION OF CATARACT

Let’s see some prevention tips to prevent Cataract from the start: -

Right Diet

A few studies have shown that Vitamin C and Vitamin E rich foods may be helpful in preventing Cataracts with age. Foods that are rich in Vitamin C are Oranges, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Potatoes, Lemon and Vitamin E rich foods are leafy vegetables, wheat germ etc.   

Regular Eye Checkups

Regular eye-checkups are important to know about any eye problem in advance. If you’re above 65, you should get your eyes checked after every 1 to 2 years.


Quit Smoking

Do you know that smoking cigarettes increase your chances of developing cataract? Researches suggests that it's true. Cigarette smoking pose threat to the eye health of the individual. This gives you another reason to put your packet down.

Keep Blood Sugar in Check

People who are diabetic are more susceptible to developing cataracts than those who aren’t. High blood sugar swells eye lenses which becomes reason for cataract in diabetics.


Wear Shades

Wear good quality sunglasses to protect your eyes from the UV rays of the sun.  Not only they will look great, but also reduce the chance of developing cataract with age. UV rays are harmful for the eye health.

TREATMENT

When prescription glasses can't help in correcting vision, then there's no choice except going for eye surgery. Have a detailed discussion with your ophthalmologist whether cataract surgery is right for you or not. Take time with the eye experts to know everything about the surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with clear artificial lens. The artificial lens is known as the intraocular lens. They are positioned in the same place as the natural lens.

You can even toss disposable lenses in the trash each night. For people with vision problems, contacts remain an effective, almost invisible tool. The thin plastic lenses fit over your cornea -- the clear, front part of your eye -- to correct vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. You can wear contacts even if you have presbyopia and need bifocals. Talk to your eye doctor about the best type of lenses for you.

What are the different types of intraocular lenses implanted after cataract surgery?

Image
As the natural lens plays a vital role in focusing light for clear vision, artificial-lens implantation at the time of cataract surgery is necessary to yield the best visual results. Because the implant is placed in or near the original position of the removed natural lens, vision can be restored, and peripheral vision, depth perception, and image size should not be affected. Artificial lenses are intended to remain permanently in place, require no maintenance or handling, and are neither felt by the patient nor noticed by others. There are a variety of intraocular lens styles available for implantation, including monofocal, toric, and multifocal intraocular lenses. Monofocal lens: These lenses are the most commonly implanted lenses today. They have equal power in all regions of the lens and can provide high-quality vision at a single focal point (usually at distance). They usually require only a light pair of spectacles for optimal distance vision correction. However,

LASIK EYE SURGERY IN INDORE:

WHAT IS LASIK? Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis(LASIK), is a surgical procedure which is used for correction of vision in people suffering from refractive defects such as Myopia(Near-sightedness), Hypermetropia(Far-sightedness), and Astigmatism(Corneal Defect). LASIK surgery provides reduction in the power or even freedom from spectacles to the patients and is of great aid in gaining self-confidence as well. LASIK is now one of the most common surgical procedures around the world and is widely used for correction of refractive disorders. It is an outpatient surgical procedure that takes around 10-15 minutes for each eye and the patient is able to see again within hours after the surgery. The actual laser exposure is less than a minute for each eye. HOW DOES LASIK WORK? LASIK works on the principle of sculpting and remodelling of cornea using Excimer Laser(an ultraviolet laser) which delivers the laser correction(Photoblation) into the thickness of cornea.
