Cataracts are a common eye problem that usually happens as people get older. They can also be caused by other things like certain diseases, eye injuries, too much sun, or poor diet. Signs of cataracts include blurry vision, trouble seeing colors, sensitivity to bright lights at night, and difficulty reading. Surgery to remove cataracts is recommended when they start to make it hard to do everyday activities, not just when they're fully developed.

Facts
Development Age: Cataracts usually start developing in the 40s or 50s.
Vision Impact: Begin to affect vision around the age of 60.
Consequences of Untreated Cataracts:
Can worsen over time.
May lead to complete vision loss if not treated.
Blurred or clouded vision
Seeing halos around lights
Problem with night vision
Problem with bright lights
Fading or yellowing of colors
Double vision
Purpose is to remove or dissolve cataracts from outer eye lens
Cataract Surgery Process
Alcon Legion Phaco Machine
Faster recovery with safe, stitch-free cataract surgery performed through a tiny incision using an advanced ultrasonic system
Aurolab Slit Lamp
Early detection of cataracts and other eye conditions through detailed examination using a high-magnification microscope
Nidek Keratometer
More accurate lens selection and improved surgical outcomes through precise measurement of corneal curvature
Lumibird A-Scan Ultrasound Biometry
Highly precise intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation before surgery using advanced sound wave measurement of eye length
Leica Specular Microscope
Safer cataract surgery ensured by detailed evaluation of corneal endothelial cell health through advanced imaging
Applanation Tonometer
Early detection and prevention of glaucoma-related damage through accurate measurement of eye pressure
Appasamy B-Scan Ultrasonography
Safer surgical planning by detecting hidden retinal or internal eye issues using high-frequency ultrasound imaging
Nidek NC Tonometer
Quick, painless glaucoma screening through rapid air-puff eye pressure measurement
IOL Master
Sharper visual outcomes with highly precise, non-contact laser-based lens power calculation
YAG Capsulotomy
Clear vision restored after cataract surgery through precise laser treatment of posterior capsule opacity
Phacoemulsification (PHACO)
The most common cataract surgery today is called phacoemulsification (PHACO).
It uses foldable Acryfold Lens (IOLs).
The cloudy lens is removed using an ultrasonic probe.
The folded lens implant is inserted and then unfolds inside the eye.
Extracapsular
Conventional cataract surgery removes the cloudy lens but keeps the back capsule.
It requires a 12-mm cut that is closed with stitches.
Small incision cataract surgery uses a smaller 6-mm cut.
This smaller cut usually doesn’t need stitches because it seals itself.
Intracapsular
This is a rare type of cataract surgery.
The entire eye lens and its capsule are removed.
A new artificial lens (IOL) is put in its place.
A large cut is needed for the surgery.
There is a higher chance of problems or complications.
