What Are Cataracts?
A cataract is a cloud of the natural lens of the eye, which lies behind the iris and the student. This cloud reaches a retinal block or dissolved light, causing blurred or minor vision. Think about trying to look through a foggy window – things are still there, but are not clearly visible.
Caused by cataracts
The most common cause of cataracts is aging. As we grow up, the protein begins to break and collide in the lens and causes cloud spots. Other reasons include:
Genetic Factor (Family History)
- Diabetes
- Eye damage
- Smoking
- High risk (UV rays)
Prolonged use of some medications such as corticosteroids
Cataract symptoms
Symptoms may vary depending on the type and phase of cataracts, but common signs include:
- Gallop
- Sensitivity to light and glare
- “Gaurav” appears around the light
- Colors look faded or yellow
- Difficulty watching at night
- Constant changes in glasses or contact lens books
Treatment option
In the preliminary stages, bright lights and updated glasses can help. However, as progression of cataracts, surgery is often the most effective treatment. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloud lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens, known as an introcular lens (IOL).
It is a safe and general process, with a high success rate and rapid recovery time.
