What is cataract? |
Generally our eye works like a camera. Just like camera there is one transparent lens in our eye. Cataract is nothing but clouding of natural lens which normally remains transparent. This change makes clear lens hazy and stiff. so that the person can feel the light and darkness but can't see clearly |

| What causes the cataract? |
| Normally cataract is caused by the age. Cataract comes after the age of 40 or it may occur due to some disease of the eye or some general diseases. General diseases like diabetes, tetany, renal disorders, arthritis and few other rare conditions like injury in eye. Steroids medications local or systemic on long time use may cause cataract. |

|
| Symptoms of Cataract:- |
1. Dimness in vision without pain
2. Frequently change in the refractive power
3. Need of more light for reading.
4. Difficulty in night driving and color differentiation. |
| |
|
|
|
| What is the remedy for Cataract? |
1. Treatment for cataract is always by operation to remove the opaque lens from eye.
2. No medicine or drops can remove the cataract or opacity of lens. |
| |
|
|
|
| When to go for operation? |
Cataract can be removed when it causes visual disturbances. It is better to operate at early stage because:
1. Operation is easy.
2. Cataract may become hypermature and may fall back into the vitreous cavity and it can induce glaucoma. |

Which IOL intraocular lens should I chose? |
| Monofocal Lenses |
Normal lenses provide either sharp distance vision or near vision and they are called monofocal lenses. Therefore the patient has to depend upon glasses for either near or distance vision. Monofocal IOL are of 2 types: |
| Spherical IOL and ASPHERICAL IOL |
| |
|
 |
TECNIS™ IOL was up to 31 percent higher in bright light conditions compared to traditional lens.
Multifocal Lenses : Freedom from Glasses after Phaco Surgery.
They have the capability to provide both distance and near vision with no OR much reduced dependence on glasses. |
Advantage of Multifocal IOLs |
 |
Reduce dependence on glasses for routine activities. |
|
Provide excellent Distance, Intermediate and Near Vision |
