Know How To Deal With Cataract

There is a natural lens inside our eyes. These lenses are responsible for the refraction of light rays that enter our eyes, so we can see. When a cataract arises, lens becomes cloudy, disrupting vision or causing vision loss. When cataracts first appear, things look less colorful and blurry. As they progress, eye sight may be completely diminished.

Symptoms of Cataracts

• Sensitivity to light
• Blurry or dim vision
• Double images
• Night vision trouble
• Fading of colors
• Need for brighter light for reading
• Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions

Treating Cataracts

Cataract can only be treated through surgery. Surgery is performed with just a small incision with no stitches. Surgery is done to improve your vision.

During surgery, the cloudy lens is removed completely and replaced by a new intraocular lens implant (IOL). There are few limitations recommended after the surgery. Within just a few days, you are able to get back to normal activities.

In some cases, cataracts may not need to be treated. There are no medications to treat or to prevent cataracts.
