What is Cataract?
Understanding About
Cataract
Cataract is the most widely known eye disease in which the natural crystalline lens inside the eye gets cloudy. This blocks the visual pathway that makes you lose your vision. Motiyabindoo mostly occurs in elderly patients; however, it can happen to children as well. If left untreated, it can lead to blindness.
Luckily, this blindness causing eye disease is reversible. When hazy vision interferes with routine activities of your life, it is time to consult an eye specialist and undergo Motiyabindu operation. Further, it is essential to understand that delaying cataract surgery makes the patient prone to other complications in the eye like high eye pressure, optic disc damage, glaucoma, etc.
At the right stage your eye doctor will advise and perform Cataract surgery. The entire process and the cataract surgery take less than 20-30 minutes. This means no need of night stay at the hospital.

When to consider cataract surgery
Talk with your eye doctor about whether surgery is right for you. Most eye doctors suggest considering cataract surgery when your cataracts begin to affect your quality of life. This may include your ability to perform daily activities, such as reading or driving at night.
For most people, there is no rush to remove cataracts because they usually don’t harm the eyes. But cataracts can worsen faster in people with certain conditions. These include diabetes, high blood pressure or obesity.

FAQs
Are cataracts painful?
Cataracts do not cause pain, though they do cause frustration and discomfort from reducing vision clarity. They develop gradually over time, with symptoms going unnoticed for many decades.
Is the surgery safe?
Cataract surgery is considered one of the safest surgical procedures today.
Can cataracts grow back?
No. During cataract surgery, your eye’s clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. Cataracts cannot grow back after the natural lens has been removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
Can both eyes be treated in one procedure?
If you have cataracts in both eyes, your doctor will usually schedule the second surgery a few weeks after the first surgery. However, it becomes more and more common to treat both eyes in one procedure, at the same day.
How long do the effects of cataract surgery last?
Cataract surgery is permanent. The IOL does not have to be removed or replaced and can stay in the eye for the rest of the life.
Will I need to have cataract surgery again?
In cataract surgery, natural lenses are removed and replaced with artificial lenses, which are not subject to deterioration and should last a lifetime.
