Did you know?

You can get cataracts in one eye or both eyes — but they can’t spread from one eye to the other.

By age 80, most people either have cataracts or have had cataract surgery.

Cataract is the most common CAUSE OF VISUAL LOSS in India.

What Is Cataract?

A Cataract is the leading cause of blindness and vision impairment.

Inside our eye is a lens, which is like clear glass. The lens focuses the light rays coming into the eye on the retina at the back of the eye, which is sent to the brain for us to see. For perfect vision, the lens should be clear, but with age when the lens becomes cloudy, dull, or opaque, light cannot pass through it and the vision becomes dim or blurred. Later, when the lens is totally opaque, there is a total loss of vision but it is reversible. Any cloudy lens is called a cataract.

Cataracts are cloudy areas that form on the lens of your eye. Your lens is a clear, flexible structure made mostly of proteins (crystallins). As you get older, the proteins in your lens break down, forming cloudy patches that affect your vision.
You may feel as if you’re looking at the world through a dirty window. Over time, your vision gets worse. You may have a hard time carrying out routine tasks.
The functioning of the eyes can be compared to a photographic camera. The light rays which fall on the cornea pass through the lens and eventually fall on the retina.

At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye’s lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens and distorts the light passing through the lens. This may lead to more noticeable symptoms
The good news is that surgery can get rid of cataracts. Cataract surgery is safe and corrects vision problems caused by cataracts.

2.Mics (Micro Incision Cataract Surgery)

In this type of advanced cataract surgery, the standard phacoemulsification is performed with an incision size ranging between 2.2-2.4 mm. The smaller incision size in this procedure as compared to the standard phacoemulsification has the benefit of faster healing and induces lesser astigmatism.
