Eye Cataract In Nagpur
What is Eye Cataract
Cataract is a major cause of blindness in India. The condition is caused mainly due to aging. A cataract is the opacity of the transparent lens of the eye. If cloud, it prevents the light to pass through the lens and reach the retina for image formation. The factors responsible for cataracts are old age, eye injuries, inflammation, diabetes and prolonge use of steroids. Children may also have cataract since birth, due to infection pass on to them by their mother during pregnancy.
Signs & Symptoms
- Gradual loss of vision
- Both eyes are involv at varying stages
- The lens of the eye turns grey
- The patient has hazy or double or multiple vision
Prevention
Cataract formation cannot be prevent. However, blindness due to cataract can and must be avoid through timely surgical intervention.
Treatment
- Medication of any kind cannot cure or delay cataract formation.
- Surgical removal of the cloud lens and replacement by Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) can restore normal vision.
- Cataract surgery is a simple procedure. It is normally done under local anaesthesia.
- Cataract can be operat by using various procedures like ECCE, SICS, Phacoemulsification etc. After cataract removal, an intraocular lens is implant, which is made of different materials like PMMA, Silicon etc. This lens may be foldable or rigid.

- PHACO – Thus, Phacoemulsification or PHACO is a type of cataract surgery in which the lens with the cataract is broken up by ultrasound, irrigat, and suction out. It is the most common method use to remove the cataract. After the natural lens has been remove, it is often replace by an artificial lens, call an intraocular lens (IOL). An IOL is a clear artificial lens implant that requires no care and becomes a permanent part of the operat eye.
- ECCE – Therefore, Extracapsular Cataract Extraction or ECCE is a type of cataract surgery which might be recommend if the phacoemulsification technique isn’t a good option for patient. For example, an advance cataract might be too dense to break apart easily. In Extracapsular Cataract Surgery, the Surgeon makes a larger opening in the eye. Instead of breaking up the lens and then removing it, the Surgeon removes the lens in one piece.
- SICS – Firstly,Small Incision Cataract Surgery or SICS is a low-cost, small-incision form of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) that is principally employe in the developing world.Once Compare to traditional ECCE, SICS has the advantage of a self-sealing suture-less wound.
- MICS – Micro Incision Cataract Surgery or MICS is an approach to cataract surgery through incision less than 1.8 mm with the purpose of reducing surgical invasiveness, at the same time, improving surgical outcomes
Femto Laser assist Cataract Surgery
Femto Laser assist Cataract Surgery or FLACS is a type of laser eye surgeryin our hospital. This surgery replaces many of the steps during cataract surgery that require a blade and softens the cataract, allowing for an easier and smoother removal. It can improve the quality of vision by reducing some visual aberrations, it expands the visual range of astigmatism-correcting lens implants, and it may enhance the quality and range of near vision in extend range lens implants.
Posterior Iris Fixation of IOL
Therefore, This type of IOL is most often implant after a cataract surgery after the removal of the crystalline lens. Accommodating IOLs fall into this category and allows a patient to have optimal vision near, far and in between. Iris fixation of posterior chamber silicone IOLs may decrease the possibility of late suture breakage and dislocation of the IOL, as well as the risk of endophthalmitis.
Scleral Fixation of IOL
Thus, the Scleral Fixation is a procedure in which sutures are passe from the outside to the inside of the eye.
Phakic ICL
Thus, Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs), also known as Implantable Contact Lenses (ICLs), are implantable contact lenses that are surgically inserted into the eye where they provide excellent quality of vision with predictable and stable results.
