Cataract or commonly known as motiya bind is a cloudy formation on the natural eye lens. It disturbs vision, leading to blurry eyesight, myopia and in some cases even temporary blindness. Mostly occurring to people over the age of 40, some infants are also found to be born with cataract.

People usually tend to develop cataracts post the age of 50. A cataract is a medical term for clouding of the lens inside the eyes that causes loss of vision.Cataracts cannot be cured through glasses, contact lens or corneal refractive surgery like LASIK. Other than age there can be several other factors that can lead to the development of cataracts.Major factors that are responsible for formation of cataracts are:

● Aging

● Past eye surgery such as ICL

● Genetic disorder

● Diabetes

● Exposure to harmful rays of the sun

● Eye injury that alter the eye tissues

● Blury eye visions

● Halos near light

● Faded colors

● Trouble in seeing in bright lights as well as dim lights.

This disease has been the cause of 33% of blindness around the world, leading to depression for many patients.

What are the various types of Cataract Eye Treatment Available? The most advanced method of Cataract surgery is called Phacoemulsification. The surgery is safe and popular. Below are the various types of Cataract Eye Treatment:

1. Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery:In this Surgery the Surgeon usually takes an hour and is done by giving anesthesia locally before making any incision. Less than 4mm three-minute incisions are made in the side of the cornea. Cataract is broken into small pieces before removal with the help of ultrasound and sucked out through a tube. An artificial lens, generally made of plastic, silicone or acrylic compounds is inserted in the place of the natural lens, which has been removed. As the artificial lens takes the position inside the eye, the surgery is completed as there is no need to close the incision, as it’s very minute and the patient can go home the same day.

2. Extra capsular Cataract Surgery:In this Treatment the Surgeon made an incision larger than phacoemulsification surgery and it takes a long recovery period as compared. With the help of anesthesia, the eye area is numbed and the patient remained awake during the process. The incision is made large about 12 mm on the side of the cornea, which makes easier for the doctor to remove the natural cloudy lens of the patient’s eye at once with breaking it into fragments. Then artificial lens is inserted as a replacement, which helps in clear vision. As it takes place of the natural lens, the sutures are made to close the incision. The stitches heal on its own; there is no need for removal.

3. Bladeless Cataract Surgery:As the name suggests, there is no incision made. It’s computer-guided femtosecond laser which dissolves the cataract. It’s the evolution of the cataract surgery which eliminates human error and is faster than conventional ones. Optical coherence Tomograph is the machine used in which a detailed 3-D image of the eye is created, which helps to customize and precise surgery. The femtosecond laser cuts the cataract tissue and precision wise best method. As the surgery is technical and upgraded, the cost is almost double the conventional surgey.
