When we look at any object, light rays from the object through the transparent cornea and the clear lens to strike the retina and form an image. The retina then relays the image to the brain through a set of wires called as Optic nerves.

What is Cataract?

For normal vision, it is imperative that the lens of the eye is clear and transparent, so that light rays can pass through it. When the lens becomes cloudy or opaque, light rays are not easily transmitted to the retina. This opaque lens is called as Cataract. Cataract usually develops gradually over a period and may affect both eyes in different degrees.

What Causes Cataract?

Ageing is the most common cause. As one ages, the protein in the lens break-down making it rigid and cloudy. Other than aging, many conditions can accelerate the break-down of the lens protein, like.

• Diabetes
• Eye Injury or prolonged exposure to radiation, sun or x-rays.
• Smoking
• Inflammation of the iris, uvea etc.
• Disorders like hypothyroidism and atopic dermatitis.
• Genetic diseases like Down's, Wilson's, Homocystinuria, Myotonic dystrophy etc.
• Infections affecting the baby in the mother's womb like Herpes, Rubella, Syphilis, etc.
• Medications like steroids and haloperidol.

How Does Cataract Affect Vision ?

Cataract develops very gradually and painlessly. It may affect one or both eyes.

• Vision becomes Blurry as if looking through a frosted glass.

   
• 
  

  Halos around object, especially bright lights e.g. Excess glare from oncoming headlights is noticed.
• Loss of contrast sensitivity and dull appearance of colours.
• Poor night vision.
• Need for brighter light to carry out activities like reading.

Treatment for Cataract

Surgery alone is the treatment for Cataract. No medicine or diet can reverse Cataract formation. During the surgery the Cataractous lens is removed and is replaced by an artificial Intra Ocular Lens ( IOL ).

Phacoemulsification Surgery 

Procedure :

Phacoemulsification is the most advanced and accepted form of Cataract Surgery. During this surgery a very small opening of approximately 2-3mm is made in the eye and the cataract is removed by breaking it into small pieces, which are then gently sucked out with the same instrument. The incision taken is so small that it requires no stitches and heals rapidly. This makes it possible for the patient to resume normal activities early.

Once the Cataractous lens is removed, a new Intra Ocular Lens ( IOL ) is inserted in the same place.

There are a variety of IOLs which a patient can opt for. Typically there is a choice between foldable soft IOS and non-foldable hard IOS. Lenses could be either of PMMA, Silicon or Acrylic material. One can opt between Monofocal IOLs or Multifocal IOLs. The foldable IOLs are the most recommended. With monofocal IOL, the distance vision is clear without glasses but one has to wear reading glasses. With multifoal IOL, vision is clear both for distance and near and one is almost independent of glasses. 90-95% spectacle freedom is attained.

Toric IOLS are now available for patient with high cylindrical powers. Multifocal toric IOL can provide patients greatest level of spectacle freedom even if patients have a pre-operative corneal astigmatism.

Cataract surgery is done under topical anaesthesia. The new technique of eye drop anaesthesia (no injection) has distinct advantages over the conventional technique of giving injection anaesthesia.

In certain circumstances, the alternative technique of extra capsular cataract surgery with injection anaesthesia may need to be adapted as felt necessary for the best interest of the patient.

Cataract surgery has very predictable results with high success rate. The latest technique of NO INJECTION, NO STITCH and NO PATCH has made the surgery very easy for the patient; though it is more demanding on the surgical skills of your doctor. In some people natural capsule that support the IOL may became cloudy, several months after the surgery. If vision is affected, then laser can be used to open this capsule in a couple of minutes.

FAQs

When should surgery be done?

Cataract surgery is rarely an emergency surgery and should be considered when vision cannot be improved with new glasses or vision is no longer good enough for daily activities.

Which Lens Should on Select?
Each eye is unique. It is always good to customize the lenses best suited for the eye. Your Doctor will help you in selecting the lens.

Does The Artificial Lens Have An Expiry Date?

The artificial lens is designed to last for the rest of one's life. It needs to be replaced or adjusted only in cases of injury, severe reaction in the eye or dislocation which is very rare.

Do I need To Undergo Any Tests Before Surgery?

Yes. Routine Blood examinations are needed to rule out any infection in the body.

Well controlled Diabetes and Blood pressure are mandatory.

When Will I be Able to Resume My Activities After Surgery?

Most of the patients are back to their routine life in 2-3 days after surgery.

High Quality Customized Spectacles Through i.Scription Technology, Mumbai

As we grow older, our bodies undergo changes and eyes are no exception. Diminishing vision is one of the major handicaps as we age. Many people don't seek medical attention because of negligence and ignorance. Some take it as a part of ageing and resign themselves to fate. This is unfortunate since most of the eye problems can be prevented or corrected if detected on time. Periodic eye examinations are an important part of good preventive eye care.

When we look at any object, light rays pass from the object through the transparent cornea and the clear lens to strike the retina then relays the image to the brain through a set of wires called as optic nerve.

REFRACTIVE ERRORS

When light rays from a distant object do not come to a focus on the retina, the image of the object appears blurred and the condition is called Ammetropia.

Myopia:

When the size of the eyeball is longer than normal, these light rays are focused in front of the retina. This is myopia or short sightedness. This can be corrected by concave lenses as spectacles or contact lenses.

Hypermetropia:

When the size of the eyeball is shorter than normal, these light rays are focused behind the retina. This is hypermetropia or long sightedness. This can be corrected by convex lenses as spectacle or contact lenses.

Astigmatism:

A normal eye has spherical cornea in all its meridians. When the cornea is steeper or flatter in any of its axil, it gives rise to Astigmatism, This is corrected by cylindrical lenses as spectacles or toric contact lenses.

                     Presbyopia:

Presbyopia

The normal eye works like an autofocus camera which can focus for distance and near. This is achieved by change of shape of the lens in the eye, directing the light rays onto the retina. But with age, the lens hardens and cannot change its shape as easily making it difficult to focus on small and close objects. Presbyopia often starts around the age of 40 years and slowly worsens until the age of 60 years. This is easily treated with bifocal or multifocal (progressive) glasses, monofocal & bifocal contact lenses.

CUSTOMIZED SPECTACLES

Many of us see flaring of the head lights of approaching cars in the night.

Bright light sources against a dark night time background can create visual problems: light cones, reflection, mirror images, limited vision, low contrasts and overall adverse visual conditions that irritate and fatigue the eyes and the overall sensory system.

These factors increase the risk of road traffic accidents; they also have a negative impact on the quality of life of the people. They may have a difficult time driving at night, and even be unable to enjoy night time outdoor activities.

Apart from the spherical and cylindrical eye power many of us have some hidden powers named Higher Order Aberrations (HOA) that also determine the clarity of our vision. These hidden powers are detected by aberrometry. To enhance your vision and your life Zeiss Customized i.Scription lenses will solve your problem so that your eyes enjoy clearer, criper more relaxed vision even at night and in low light conditions.

Every eye is as unique as every human fingerprint. In addition to the typical vision condition, i.e. near or far sightedness, an examination with i.Profiler Plus also analyse the individual eye profile. i.Profiler Plus is an instrument designed to determine the exact “fingerprint” of your eyes. This makes it possible for your Doctor to create ZEISS customized lenses with i.Scription to deliver your best vision possible.

As we are going for customized lenses with i.Scription technology frame and eye measurement are also to be considered. To get that percision, we use the most leading edge digital centration system called i.Terminal.

With pinpoint precision, i.Terminal determines the centration parameters required for accurate frame fitting on the face enabling perfect vision. The measuring process, photo capture and the processing of the data are all done in a matter of seconds.

In Takes about 3-5 working days to deliver these customized i.Scription Glasses from the date of order.
