A cataract is when your eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy. Proteins in your lens break down and cause things to look blurry, hazy or less colorful.
Cataract Surgery: In this, the surgeon removes your clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens called an IOL.
It usually occurs in patients, above the age of 40. Patients having eye diseases such as glaucoma, iritis, eye tumors and diabetes may have higher chances to get cataract in eye.
Also, it can cause due to some eye injury or because of some trauma during childhood.
The main cause of cataracts is the gradual breakdown of proteins in your lens. However, certain genetic and environmental factors can raise your risk of developing cataracts or developing them at a younger age compared with others
- Age:Cataract generally occurs after the age of 40
- Genetics:A family history of cataract can increase the risk of having the cataract.
- Diabetes:Diabetic patients are more prone to develop cataract in eyes.
- Eye Injuries:Trauma or eye injury in eye can increase the risk of cataract.
- Sun Exposure: Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can increase the risk of cataract.
- Smoking:Smoking is also one of the reasons for cataract.
- Alcohol Consumption: Regular alcohol consumption has also been linked in increasing the risk of cataract.
- Obesity:Being overweight or obese may increase the risk of cataract.
Cataract Treatment:-
- Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of the eye, and in most cases surgeon replaces the natural lens with an artificial lens (IOL).
- The surgeon makes a tiny incision on the side of the cornea, removes the eye’s clouded natural lens after dissolving it (using a procedure known as Phacoemulsification) and then replaces it with an artificial ‘Intraocular Lens’ (IOL). And because the incision is very small, stitches are not required and the eye heals quickly, allowing the patient to return to routine lifestyle within a week. Advance cataract surgery is a safe day care procedure that barely takes about 5 to 7 minutes and which do not require any overnight stay in the hospital. New technology such as micro incision cataract Surgery (MICS) has increased its safety even further.
An Intraocular Lens (IOL) is the replacement lens that is surgically implanted in the eye to replace the existing natural clouded lens during cataract surgery.
The design of IOL decides your need for spectacles after the surgery.
- Monofocal IOL:-A standard mono-focal IOL has one point of focus, which is usually distance vision. If you choose standard IOLs, you will generally need glasses for near activities like reading. On the other hand, if your mono-focal IOLs are focused on near vision, you would need glasses to see distant objects clearly.
- Toric IOL:-Astigmatism means that your eye is shaped more like and egg than a round ball. This irregular shape causes blurry vision.20% cataract cases have astigmatism, which requires them to wear cylindrical powered glasses after the cataract surgery with monofocal lenses.But after using Toric lenses this disparity can be treated and vision becomes clear for distance without glasses.
- Multifocal IOL:-Traditionalmonofocal IOLs are meant for distance vision and tori lenses are also for distance cylindrical numbers so both work for distance object . But now days special lenses are available meant for distance as well as near they are multifocal lenses. These special design lenses do take care of near vision as we like reading or writing work. Very few number of cases may need glasses for fine print and very close work.
- Trifocal IOL:– Trifocal lenses are also known as extended multifocal lens it gives one newer dimension of vision that is intermediate vision means no need of glasses for computer work along with clear vision for near and distance both so it provides a continuous range of vision as you constantly change focus on the world around you. Most patients can function well without glasses for distance, computer work and casual reading, but may need glasses for very fine prints and very close work.
