The development of cataract is a slow process taking years to develop. It is usually seen in individuals beyond the age of 50.
Rarely children may be born with cataracts, frequently these are referred to as congenital cataracts. Cataracts may also be genetically inherited and may present earlier than usual.
Cataracts may involve the central portion or the nucleus and such cataracts are called nuclear cataracts. Some cataracts affect only the peripheral cortical areas and these are called cortical cataracts.
There are many techniques used to remove a cataractous lens. Nowadays cataract is removed using ultrasound and laser technology making it possible to remove dense cataracts through tiny incisions.
Previously doctors used to wait for the cataract to ‘ripen’ or turn white before taking the patient for surgery.
Nowadays cataract surgery is performed when cataract interferes with vision or when performing routine tasks becomes difficult. Cataract surgery may also be recommended if the refractive error is a concern and when corneal refractive laser procedures are not an option.
Spectacle correction may help compensate for the drop in vision temporarily.
The cost of cataract surgery generally depends on the technique used to remove the cataract and the type of intraocular lens implant. Most health insurance cover cataract surgery with ordinary intraocular lens but not the cost of premium lenses like presbyopic corrective lenses.
The intraocular lens is designed to last a lifetime.
Intraocular lens are made of special materials that do not cause a foreign body reaction when placed in the eye. These materials include silicon and acrylic variants.
Although this may be subjective, cataract surgery is generally considered a painless surgery.
At our centre we routinely perform surgery without any injection. We however use drops to anesthetize the surface of the eye.
This would depend on the healing post cataract surgery and may vary from few days to a week.
