A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. For people who have cataracts, seeing through cloudy lenses is a bit like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car (especially at night) or see the expression on a friend’s face.
Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb your eyesight early on. But with time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision.
Most cataracts develop due to normal aging process .
Some inherited genetic disorders that cause other health problems can increase your risk of cataracts. Cataracts can also be caused by other eye conditions like uveitis, past eye surgery or medical conditions such as diabetes, Long-term use of steroid medications, , smoking are all known to increase the risk of developing cataract.
The most popular techniques for cataract surgery as of now are Phacoemulsification and MICS. We at Bajaj Eye Centre provide you with both the techniques.
