Introduction
Eye Care Services at RP Arora Medicity Hospital are dedicated to providing comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for various eye conditions, with a special focus on cataracts (Moti Bind/Safed Motia).
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s naturally clear lens. This cloudiness blocks light from reaching the retina, causing blurred or cloudy vision. As cataracts progress, they can significantly affect daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Cataracts commonly develop in people over the age of 45, and once vision is significantly affected, cataract surgery is the only effective treatment.
Causes of Cataracts
Common causes of cataracts include:
- Aging (the most common cause)
- Eye injury or trauma
- Previous eye surgery (secondary cataracts)
- Excessive smoking and alcohol consumption
- Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays
- Long-term use of steroid medications
- Congenital cataracts (present at birth)
- Medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure
Symptoms of Cataracts
Common symptoms include:
- Blurred vision: Difficulty seeing clearly, especially small objects.
- Cloudy or dim vision: Reduced brightness and faded colors.
- Increased sensitivity to light: Bright lights may cause discomfort.
- Halos around lights: Especially noticeable during night driving.
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription: Vision changes more rapidly than usual.
- Faded or yellowish colors: Colors appear dull or less vibrant.
- Double vision in one eye: Some patients may experience double vision.
Cataract Treatments Offered by Our Experts
At RP Arora Medicity Hospital, our experienced eye specialists recommend the most suitable treatment based on each patient’s condition.
Phacoemulsification
Phacoemulsification is the most advanced and commonly performed cataract surgery. The cloudy lens is broken into tiny pieces using ultrasound energy and removed through a small incision (approximately 2.2–2.5 mm). Since the incision is self-healing, stitches are generally not required, allowing for faster recovery.
Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE)
In this conventional procedure, the cloudy lens is removed through a larger incision and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. This technique usually requires stitches and may be recommended for advanced cataracts.
Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery with Foldable Lens Implantation
This modern technique uses an even smaller incision (approximately 1.8 mm). A foldable intraocular lens is implanted, resulting in minimal tissue damage, quicker healing, and improved visual outcomes.
Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery
This advanced procedure uses femtosecond laser technology to create highly precise incisions, soften the cataract, and assist in its removal. It improves surgical accuracy and enhances patient safety and recovery.
