What is a Cataract?
Cataract is a common eye condition that clouds the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred vision and visual impairment. As we age, proteins in the lens can clump together, causing this clouding. This condition often develops slowly and has symptoms like faded colors and difficulty seeing in low light. While aging is a primary factor, cataracts can also result from injury, medications, or underlying health issues.
In this disease, Cataract surgery can help. It is a simple and highly effective procedure that involves replacing the clouded lens with an artificial one, restoring clear vision. Regular eye check-ups can detect cataracts early, allowing timely treatment and preserving the sight for a quality life.

Cataract Diagnosis
Cataracts are a common cause of vision impairment, people must need consultation with an ophthalmologist for diagnosis. The process begins with an examination of symptoms and medical history. A comprehensive eye examination follows, including a visual acuity test to assess distance vision. Using a slit lamp microscope, our doctor looks at internal eye structures, especially the lens. Pupils may be dilated for a closer lens examination.
Moreover, through these thorough assessments, our ophthalmologist assesses the presence and impact of cataracts on your vision. Seeking professional care ensures a precise diagnosis and sets the foundation for the right management of this prevalent eye condition.
