Experienced Doctors for Cataract Treatment in Manesar

Types of Cataract Surgery

The different types of cataract surgery are explained below-

• Phacoemulsification- This technique involves using an ultrasound probe to break or emulsify the clouded part of the lens. Tiny incisions are made in the cornea to access the lens, and the probe is inserted into the eye to remove the cataract.
• Extracapsular Cataract Extraction- In this technique, most of the clouded lens is extracted except for the elastic lens capsule. It is left in place to implant the artificial lens. The incision made in the cornea or sclera in this technique is around 10-12 mm.
• Intracapsular Cataract Extraction- This technique involves making a large incision in the eye to remove the entire lens and its capsule. After cataract removal, the anterior chamber lens is implanted in the eye with the help of sutures.
• Microincision Cataract Surgery- This minimally invasive technique is performed by making an incision of 1.8 mm in the eye. A self-healing scleral tunnel wound is created to remove the cloudy lens.
• Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery- It is the most popular and minimally invasive technique of cataract removal. The surgery involves using a femtosecond laser to make the incision and remove the cloudy part of the lens.

The most suitable technique for cataract removal is chosen after diagnosing the patient’s condition. At Pristyn Care, we leverage all these techniques depending on the patient’s condition.

How Does Cataract Surgery Benefit Your Eyes?

Cataract surgery significantly benefits your eyes by restoring clear vision and improving overall eye health. The procedure involves removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This replacement helps eliminate the blurriness, glare, and halos associated with cataracts, allowing for sharp and focused vision.

Improved vision from cataract surgery enhances your ability to perform daily activities, such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces, leading to a better quality of life. It also reduces the risk of accidents and falls, particularly in older adults, by improving depth perception and contrast sensitivity.

In addition to visual clarity, cataract surgery can also help manage other eye conditions. For instance, certain IOLs can correct pre-existing refractive errors like astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness, potentially reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses. The surgery can also provide an opportunity for the ophthalmologist to address other eye issues, such as glaucoma, during the same procedure.

Can Cataracts Be Prevented? How?

There are no studies that help to prevent cataracts. However, doctors usually suggest some things that make it possible to detect cataracts at an early stage and improve overall eye health. These things include-

• Having a regular eye examination to detect cataracts and other problems at early stages.
• Quit smoking entirely as it affects the eyes, especially the optic nerve.
• Manage the conditions that can lead to cataracts, such as diabetes.
• Take a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables to improve overall eye health.
• Wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

When Does Surgery Become Necessary for Cataracts?

Cataract surgery is typically recommended to individuals when cataracts significantly impair their vision and affect their quality of life. Here are the key criteria for those who should consider cataract surgery:

• Significant Vision Impairment – Individuals experiencing blurred or cloudy vision that interferes with daily activities such as reading, driving, watching TV, or recognizing faces.
• Impact on Daily Activities – When cataracts hinder the ability to perform essential tasks, including work-related duties, hobbies, and household chores, cataract surgery may be necessary.
• Difficulty with Night Vision – Those having trouble seeing at night or experiencing increased glare and halos around lights, can pose safety risks, especially while driving.
• Worsening Prescription Changes – Patients whose eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions no longer provide clear vision due to the progression of cataracts.
• Secondary Eye Conditions – Individuals with cataracts causing complications or worsening other eye conditions such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.
• Medical Advice – When an ophthalmologist recommends cataract surgery based on a comprehensive eye examination and assessment of the cataract’s impact on vision and eye health.
