What is a Cataract?

Cataracts are like hazy layers that form on the clear lens of our eyes, making it hard to see clearly. It's like trying to look through a window that's foggy or frosted up. People with cataracts might find it tough to read, drive (especially at night), or even recognize a friend's face. Using brighter lights and glasses can help at first, but if cataracts start getting in the way of your daily life, you might need surgery to fix them.

Identifying the Signs of Cataract

Blurred or unclear vision.

It's harder to see at night, and lights might bother you more.

You need brighter light for reading and similar activities.

You might see "halos" around lights.

Your glasses or contacts prescription needs to be updated often.

Understand the Causes of Cataract

Cataract surgery Cause 1
Getting Aged: Cataract mainly occurs due to getting older. As you age, the lens of your eyes can become cloudy, which eventually makes your vision blurry.
Cataract surgery Cause 2
Heavy Smoking: Excessive use of tobacco harms the eye's lens and raises the chances of developing cataracts.
Cataract surgery Cause 3
Ultraviolet radiation exposure: Continuous exposure to UV radiation for an extended period can affect the health of your eyes and harm the lens.
Cataract surgery Cause 4
**Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity: ** These existing health problems can increase the chances of getting cataracts.
Cataract surgery Cause 5
Earlier Eye Surgery: Previous eye surgeries that didn't go as well as hoped could harm the lens and cause the development of cataracts.
Cataract surgery Cause 6
Vitamin C deficiency: Cataract can occur when there's a deficiency of Vitamin C, which might be due to birth abnormalities or inherited genes.

Types of cataracts

This type of cataract affects the centre of the lens, causing impairment. In the beginning, a nuclear cataract might lead to heightened nearsightedness or even a temporary enhancement in your reading capability. However, over time, the lens progressively takes on a greater yellow density, increasingly impeding your vision. As the cataract gets worse over time, the lens might start to turn brown. This can make it hard to tell the difference between different colours because the lens becomes more yellow or brown.

These cataracts have an impact on the edges of the lens. The first indications of a cortical cataract appear as white, wedge-shaped cloudy areas or lines on the outer edge of the lens's cortex. The lines slowly move towards the middle of the lens and as they progress, they stop light from getting into the centre.

The back of the lens is affected by such cataracts. A tiny cloudy spot usually forms at the back of the lens where light enters. This marks the start of a posterior subcapsular cataract. Oftentimes, a Posterior subcapsular cataract at the back of your lens can make it hard to read, reduce your vision in the sunlight, and cause you to see glare or halos around lights during the night. These particular cataracts usually progress faster than other kinds of cataracts.

You can have these types of cataracts from birth. Some people either develop cataracts when they're kids or are born with them. These cataracts might be hereditary or connected to a uterine infection or injury.

Our Experts Explain

What is cataract surgery?
questioning-img
Cataract surgery, also known as lens replacement surgery, takes out the cloudy natural lens from the eyes and swaps it with an artificial intraocular lens. During cataract surgery, the lens is either removed by cutting it out or by breaking it down into tiny pieces. This helps to take out the cataract and improve vision. To make sure the patient doesn't feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure,local or topical anaesthesia is used. Our skilled cataract surgeons in Chennai use the latest minimally-invasive laser technology for cataract surgery.

Importance of Eye Examinations Post-cataract surgery
Skilled surgeons at Mykare Health Chennai utilise these two methods to conduct cataract surgery in Chennai: Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS): As the name suggests, during cataract surgery, the surgeon breaks the lens through a microincision and removes the fragments from the eye using suction (a process called phacoemulsification). The eye surgeon goes on to put another probe into the empty lens space. This tool is used to place, secure, and adjust the intraocular lens inside the eye. The cost of this procedure will be taken care of by insurance. Femtosecond-Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS): This method uses a laser to assist in taking out the cataract. The eye surgeon places a small ultrasound-emitting probe into the eye. Using the phacoemulsification method, the lens is removed by sucking it out after it's made soft and broken by these waves. Another probe is inserted to make sure the IOL is in place and properly adjusted within the empty lens space.

Cataract surgery is the sole method to eliminate a cataract and bring back clear vision. There's no proof that alternate medications or eye drops can cure cataracts. Cataract surgery is very effective at bringing back patients' vision. After the surgery, about nine out of ten people say their vision gets better. The cataract surgery can bring about these changes:
  • Your vision can become clearer.
  • Bright lights will cause less glare.
  • You'll be able to distinguish colours on your own.

The factors that determine the cost of Cataract Surgery but not limited to are:
  • Your age
  • Diagnostic tests required
  • Type of cataract surgery required
  • Your medical health
  • Post-surgical complications that may arise.
What Happens Prior to a Cataract Surgery
  • Your ophthalmologist will measure your eye to determine the appropriate IOL focusing power.
  • The cataract doctor will inquire about the medications you use.
  • To avoid infection and provide relief from eye edema, a doctor may prescribe eye drops.

Cataract surgeries are very safe and successful, with over a 90% success rate. The process is minimally invasive due to recent technical advancements. Most cataract surgeries are performed without requiring a hospital stay – they're outpatient procedures. Moreover, the patient is given local or topical anaesthesia during the surgery to reduce any pain or discomfort.

After you have cataract surgery, make sure to check in with your doctor before doing any restricted activities. Also, remember to follow these simple guidelines:
  • Avoid rubbing or touching your eye.
  • Keep soap and water away from your eyes.
  • Don't do strenuous activities unless your doctor says it's okay.
  • Skip eye makeup for a week.
  • Wait for your doctor's approval before driving again.
Post-cataract Surgery Recovery Most people will see their vision getting much better quite soon after cataract surgery, and usually, there won't be much pain or discomfort during this time. It might require around four to eight weeks to fully recover. Throughout this time, you'll need to attend a couple of follow-up appointments with your doctor. Cataract surgery usually enhances vision in more than 90% of cases. In the days and weeks after your cataract surgery, make sure to follow your doctor's guidance:
  • Use the prescribed eye drops as directed.
  • Wear your eye pad, eye shield, and glasses as recommended.
  • Continue your regular activities like reading, watching TV, and using the computer.
  • When stepping outside, remember to wear sunglasses.
  • Get back to your daily routine and usual activities.

A complete eye checkup involves a set of tests to evaluate your vision and detect any eye issues. Your optometrist might request you to look through different lenses, try out various instruments, and shine bright lights into your eyes. Each test during an eye exam evaluates a distinct aspect of your vision or eye health. Eye examinations help detect eye problems during their initial phases, when they are most responsive to treatment. Regular eye checkups give your eye care expert an opportunity to guide you on maintaining your eye health and addressing any vision changes or helping you adapt to them. Getting your eyes checked can also provide insights into your overall health.

I was advised by my physician for a circumcision for hygienic reasons as well as certain urinary problems. I found out about Mykare Health from Instagram and at first I was a bit sceptical about approaching them as I have never before availed such consultancy services, especially for a medical purpose. Anyway, with a lot of reservations in mind, I decided to take the help of Mykare Health Team. From day one including scheduling the surgery, processing the insurance related paperworks, doctor's appointments etc to the day I got discharged, as well as the follow-up medical checkups later, I have to say the whole experience was totally overwhelming. Mykare representative Ms. Greashma did a commendable job in walking me through the entire journey and, at times, she even went above and beyond her call of duty to address our concerns in a very professional manner and thankfully the entire process was smooth and hassle-free, thanks to her unwavering commitment to the task at hand. Thank you Mykare Health Team for the amazing experience. Keep this going. Kudos. 👍
