What is Cataract Surgery?

At Deshpande Eye Hospital & Laser Center, we provide advanced cataract surgery using modern microsurgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology to restore clear, comfortable vision. Cataracts occur when the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, glare, difficulty reading, and reduced night vision. Our experienced ophthalmologists perform thorough eye examinations to determine the most suitable treatment and ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.

We offer personalized cataract care with comprehensive pre-operative assessment, precise surgical planning, advanced intraocular lens (IOL) options, and dedicated post-operative follow-up. Our focus is on delivering safe, painless, and effective treatment while helping patients achieve improved vision and a better quality of life.

Types of Cataract

Cataracts can develop in different parts of the eye’s natural lens and may affect vision in different ways. Understanding the various types of cataracts, their causes, symptoms, and progression can help in choosing the right evaluation and treatment at the appropriate time.

Nuclear Sclerotic Cataract

Develops in the central part (nucleus) of the eye's natural lens and is commonly associated with ageing.

Cortical
Cataract

Affects the outer layer of the lens and may appear as wedge-shaped or spoke-like cloudy areas.

Book Appointment

Posterior Subcapsular Cataract (PSC)

Develops at the back surface of the lens and can cause glare, halos, and difficulty seeing in bright light.

Book Appointment

REGULAR PHACO CATARACT SURGERY

In Regular Phaco Cataract Surgery,
the cataractous lens is emulsified or
dissolved using ultrasonic energy.
The lenses used in this surgery are not
ultra soft and require an incision Of
about 3 mm to enter the eye.
Since the eye opening is very small
and designed in a special manner, it
self-seals and no sutures are
required. Hence this procedure is also
popularly known as Stitch- less
cataract surgery.

MICRO PHACO CATARACT SURGERY

Micro Phaco Cataract Surgery is
also known as MICS (Micro
Incision Cataract Surgery).
In this technique, the cataractous
lens is dissolved and aspirated
through a 2.2 mm micro incision
using micro ultrasonic tip and a
special super soft IOL (Intra
Ocular Lens) is inserted through
the same incision.
The incision in the Micro Phaco is
much smaller than the incision in a
Regular Phaco technique.
Micro Phaco is designed to speed up the recovery Of Vision,
improve visual outcomes and reduce the restriction on your
activities after the surgery.

Symptoms of Cataract

Cataract symptoms often develop gradually and may initially seem like normal changes in eyesight. Recognizing early signs such as blurred vision, glare, difficulty seeing at night, faded colours, and frequent changes in spectacle power can help patients seek timely eye evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Blurred or cloudy vision

Objects may appear hazy or less sharp.

Increased sensitivity to light

Bright sunlight, headlights, or indoor lights may feel uncomfortable.

Difficulty seeing at night

Low-light vision may gradually become more challenging.

Faded or yellowish colours

Colours may appear less bright or more yellow than before.

Frequent changes in glasses prescription

Vision may continue to change despite updated spectacles.

Double vision in one eye

Some people may experience monocular double vision.

Gradual decline in vision

Cataract-related vision changes usually develop progressively rather than suddenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age does cataract usually develop?

Cataracts are more common with increasing age, particularly after the age of 50–60. However, cataracts can occur earlier because of factors such as eye injury, diabetes, certain medications, or congenital conditions.

Can cataracts be prevented?

Age-related cataracts cannot always be prevented. However, protecting the eyes from excessive UV exposure, managing conditions such as diabetes, avoiding smoking, eating a balanced diet, and attending regular eye examinations may help support overall eye health.

Can cataract cause permanent vision loss?

An untreated cataract can cause significant and progressive loss of vision. Cataract itself is generally treatable, but delaying evaluation when vision becomes significantly affected can interfere with daily activities and independence.

Can cataract be treated without surgery?

There is currently no proven medicine or eye drop that can remove an established cataract. When a cataract significantly affects vision or daily activities, cataract surgery is the standard treatment.

When should I consider cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery may be considered when cloudy vision, glare, poor night vision, or other symptoms begin to interfere with reading, driving, working, or everyday activities. Your ophthalmologist can determine whether surgery is appropriate after an eye examination.

Is cataract surgery safe?

Cataract surgery is a commonly performed eye procedure and is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified ophthalmologist. As with any surgery, potential risks exist, so a detailed eye examination and discussion with your surgeon are important.

How is cataract diagnosed?

An ophthalmologist diagnoses cataract through a comprehensive eye examination. This may include visual acuity testing, slit-lamp examination, intraocular pressure measurement, and additional diagnostic tests when required.

Can cataract affect both eyes?

Yes. Cataracts can develop in both eyes, although they may not progress at the same rate. One eye may have more advanced cataract than the other.

Does cataract surgery remove the natural lens?

Yes. During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). Different IOL options may be available depending on the patient’s eye measurements, visual needs, and suitability.

Can cataract come back after surgery?

A cataract itself does not normally return after the cloudy natural lens has been removed. However, some patients may develop clouding of the membrane behind the implanted IOL, known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), which can usually be treated with a YAG laser procedure.
