Cataract

Cataract surgery has evolved into one of the safest and most effective medical procedures available today. At Shraddha Eye Hospital, we take pride in our expertise in cataract treatment. Our day care procedure means you'll spend less than two hours in the hospital, leading to a quick recovery. Most patients can resume normal activities—like walking, reading, and watching TV—just a day after surgery. Experience clearer, brighter, and sharper vision with us!

What is Cataract

The normal crystalline lens of the eye is clear and transparent. Whenever the lens develops cloudiness or opacity, it is called a ‘cataract’. This opacification obstructs light from being transmitted to the retina causing blurring of vision. This may be compared to a window that is frosted or fogged with steam.

Types of Cataract

Nuclear Cataract : This type affects the center of the lens and is commonly associated with aging. It typically leads to gradual vision loss and can cause colors to appear faded.
Cortical Cataract : These cataracts form around the edges of the lens, affecting peripheral vision. They can create issues with glare and contrast.
Posterior Subcapsular Cataract : Developing at the back of the lens, this type can cause significant glare or halos around lights, especially at night which creates difficulty in driving. It often progresses less quickly than other types.
Congenital Cataract : Present at birth or developing during childhood, congenital cataracts can result from genetic factors or infections during pregnancy. They may require early intervention to prevent vision impairment.

Understanding these types helps in recognizing symptoms and determining appropriate treatment options.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Our interdisciplinary team of highly skilled and compassionate health-care professionals includes physicians, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, nurses, medical imaging professionals, case managers, and volunteers.

Blurry or Cloudy Vision : Objects may appear fuzzy or less clear.
Difficulty Seeing at Night: Reduced night vision and increased difficulty with glare from lights.
Sensitivity to Light: Bright lights may cause discomfort or glare.
Halos Around Lights: You might notice rings or halos surrounding light sources, especially at night.
Frequent Changes in Prescription: An increased need for changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions.
Faded Colors: Colors may appear less vibrant or dull.
Double Vision: In some cases, cataracts can cause double vision in one eye.

TREATMENT OF CATARACT MICS TECHNOLOGY

MICS, or Micro Incision Cataract Surgery, is a cutting-edge procedure for treating cataracts, which are cloudy regions in the eye's lens that can impair vision. In essence, MICS utilizes tiny incisions—typically less than 2.2 mm—to extract the cloudy lens and insert a clear artificial lens. This minimally invasive technique not only reduces the necessity for stitches but also fosters quicker healing. The goal of MICS is to improve visual results, reduce discomfort, and expedite recovery time compared to traditional cataract surgery methods.
Absolutely! Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) is particularly well-suited for a variety of patient profiles, including:

Ideal Candidates for MICS:

Cataract Patients: Individuals diagnosed with cataracts who are experiencing significant vision impairment.
Minimally Invasive Preferences: Patients who prefer less invasive surgical options that reduce recovery time and minimize discomfort.
Busy Lifestyles: Those with hectic schedules who need a quicker recovery, allowing them to return to daily activities sooner.
Astigmatism Concerns: People with astigmatism can benefit from toric intraocular lenses, which correct this issue while addressing the cataract.
Visual Enhancement Seekers: Individuals looking for better visual outcomes and reduced dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Multiple Eye Conditions: Suitable for patients with other eye conditions, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, who require cataract surgery.

Summary:

MICS is designed for patients seeking a less invasive approach with quicker recovery and fewer complications, while conventional phacoemulsification remains a widely used and effective technique. The choice between them often depends on individual patient needs and surgeon recommendations. If you have more questions about either method, feel free to ask!

Advantages of Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS)

Tiny Incisions, Faster Healing : MICS involves incisions under 2.2 mm, which promote quicker healing with minimal trauma and often eliminate the need for stitches.
Quick Recovery : The smaller incisions allow for a faster recovery, enabling patients to return to their normal activities sooner than with traditional cataract surgery.
Reduced Astigmatism : By minimizing induced astigmatism, MICS can lead to better postoperative visual outcomes, potentially reducing the need for corrective lenses.
Excellent Visual Outcomes : The use of advanced technology and specialized instruments in MICS results in enhanced visual clarity, allowing many patients to rely less on glasses.
Compatibility with Specialized Lenses : MICS supports the implantation of multifocal and toric intraocular lenses (IOLs), providing comprehensive solutions for vision correction.
Less Postoperative Discomfort : The minimally invasive nature of MICS results in reduced postoperative discomfort, making the recovery process more comfortable for patients.
Versatility for Multiple Eye Conditions : MICS is adaptable for patients with other eye issues, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, offering a tailored approach that can address multiple conditions in a single procedure.

Which IOL

Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

We offer a variety of intraocular lenses (IOLs) tailored to your vision needs:

Monofocal IOLs : Designed to provide clear vision at one distance, ideal for those who primarily need distance vision.
Multifocal IOLs : These lenses offer multiple focal points, allowing for improved vision at varying distances, reducing the need for glasses.
Toric IOLs : Specifically designed for patients with astigmatism, toric IOLs help correct uneven curvature of the cornea.
Trifocal IOLs : These lenses provide excellent vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, catering to a broader range of daily activities.

EDOF IOL : Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses are a type of intraocular lens (IOL) that can help patients see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances.

Lifestyle Impact

Cataract surgery in Jaipur is a daycare procedure, meaning no overnight hospitalization is required. Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after surgery, experiencing minimal disruption to their daily routines. There are no major lifestyle restrictions, allowing you to enjoy your life without the need for extensive recovery time.
With these advanced IOL options and the convenience of the procedure, you can enhance your quality of life and reduce dependence on glasses.

How much visual recovery to expect ?

Cataract surgery has a very high success rate, over 99% of cases are technically successful. It is, however, important to realize that factors other than technically successful cataract surgery play a very important role in the visual recovery after cataract surgery e.g. the condition of the retina, optic nerve, pre-existing disease, amblyopia (lazy eye), etc. Sometimes it may be difficult to diagnose the abnormality before the surgery because of the dense cataract. With advances in science and technology, cataract surgery is now safer and more predictable than ever.
