A cataract is a common eye condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, and increased sensitivity to glare. Cataracts typically develop with age but can also result from diabetes, eye injuries, or prolonged UV exposure. If left untreated, they can severely impair vision, affecting daily activities like reading and driving.
At Krishna Eye Centre, we specialize in advanced cataract surgery to restore clear vision and improve quality of life. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists ensures precise diagnosis and personalized treatment for every patient.
When Should You Consider Cataract Surgery?
Not all cataracts require immediate surgery. However, you should consult an eye specialist if you experience:
- Blurred or foggy vision
- Difficulty seeing in low light
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
- Glare or halos around lights
- Fading of colors
If cataracts interfere with your daily life, surgery may be the best solution. At Krishna Eye Centre, we assess each case individually to determine the right time for intervention.
Modern Cataract Surgery Techniques
Cataract surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The procedure is safe, quick, and highly effective. At our eye hospital in Mumbai, we offer:
- Phacoemulsification (Small-Incision Surgery)
=> A tiny incision is made, and ultrasound waves break the cataract into small pieces for removal.
=> Faster recovery with minimal discomfort. - Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
=> Uses a precision laser for incisions, enhancing accuracy.
=> Ideal for patients with complex cases or astigmatism. - Advanced Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options
=> Monofocal IOLs: Correct vision for one distance (near or far).
=> Multifocal IOLs: Provide clear vision at multiple distances, reducing dependency on glasses.
=> Toric IOLs: Correct astigmatism along with cataracts.
