CATARACT SURGERY: THEN V/S NOW

 

What is a Cataract?

A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear focusing lens of the eye. Light cannot pass through the cloudy lens easily to the retina, resulting in blurred vision. This clouding occurs when proteins in the lens change, most commonly as a result of aging. Other causes of cataracts include trauma, medication such as steroids, inflammation in the eye, and medical problems such as diabetes.

Cataract results in blurred vision, poor glare, and sensitivity to bright light, which requires treatment of vision correction after the cataract surgery.



Transformation in cataract surgery over the past few years

Years ago people patiently waited until their cataract was mature or ripe since the surgical equipment was limited at that time. The only recovery option for patients was to lie motionless for days with sandbags anchoring their heads. Several stitches were necessary to close the large wound. These stitches caused distortion of the cornea. But times have changed over the past 25-30 years there has been a huge drastic advancement in the techniques related to cataract surgery. The limitations have been reduced. At Shree Eyecare, the best eye care hospital, we have adopted all the latest techniques for cataract surgery.

We have our doctors who conduct the diagnostic evaluation of cataracts and discuss the latest cataract treatment and explain to them the important factors that need to be taken into consideration during cataract surgery. At Shree Eyecare, the best eye specialist in Dehradun, we usually conduct phacoemulsification to treat the cataract. This is the most popular
modern technique for cataract extraction that involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to gently break up the cataract into tiny pieces. These are the following cataract treatments conducted at Shree Eye Care, Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

• Microphacoemulsification with Foldable IOL Implantation
• Phacoemulsification with Foldable IOL Implantation
• Small Incision cataract surgery
