Understanding Cataract with Dr. Niteen Dedhia
The most common cause of cataract is age. Some of the other cause of cataract are diabetes, Injuries to eye and thyroid disorder.
Symptoms of Cataract
The Symptoms related to Cataract are the patients normally see the blurred vision; he has difficulty in Night Driving and also sometimes as Double vision. All this condition can occurs after the age of 40 and so we advices most of the people to undergo or to have eye examination with an Eye Doctor as soon as they have problem related to vision problem.
Treatment of Cataract
Cataract surgery evolved in the last 2 to 3 decades. Initially when we used to perform cataract operation the whole cataract was removed from within the eye through a very large incision which is almost about 8 to 10 mm inside. After removing the cataract, we were taking stitches to close the incision and a riches lens was implanted in India. Now the technology as evolved and performed the cataract operation just 2 mm incision and this incision is also made either with laser or with diamond instrument. Once cataract is emulsified or liquefied inside the eyes. It is sub out and it become almost like water after removing this cataract the lens implanted in the eye from this lens is special foldable lens and it passes through the same 2 mile meter incision and it unfold him inside the eye. There are different types of lens which are available: They could either unifocal lens which allows you to see very fear very clearly and for reading you have to reading glasses. The Other lens which is available is multifocal lens and did in multifocal lens we have byfocal and trifocal lens and they give you good crystal vision work for far, near as well intermediate vision.
Misconception of Cataract
There are lots of Misconception of about Cataract operation previously patients they use to undergo cataract operation only when cataract was right or when it is mutual but now a day’s cataract operation can be done even if its just 10 percent or 20 percent or when the patient starts having Difficulty in Night driving, or safe thing. The kind of number you get after the cataract operation is also very mineable Because we are able to remove the power of the glasses once cataract is implanted This is because cataract operation as it is done the lens which is implanted is of specific power that power point size the glasses power so its help one to remove the glasses look booth for far as well as near if we are implanting the lens which is the multifocal lens.
