Cataract And Refractive Surgery
Cataract Eye Surgery
What is Cataract ?
Cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens in the eye. This blocks the light from reaching the retina and causes unclear vision. As the cataract progresses, it causes hazy vision and may interfere with your daily activities. Cataract usually develops in people older than 45 years of age and as the vision deteriorates, the only available treatment for cataract is surgery.
What are the symptoms of cataracts?
Common symptoms of cataracts are:
- - Cloudy or blurry vision
- - Light sensitivity or glare or the appearance of a halo around lights
- - Poor or reduced night vision
- - Double or multiple vision (this symptom often goes away as the cataract progresses)
- - A need for frequent changes of glasses or contact lenses
In the case of early cataract, there is no significant difference in external appearance or may not show any color or spot, on the other hand, one can see a white spot in the center of an eye for matured cataract.
Refractive Eye Surgery
Refractive eye surgery is any eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical remodelling of the cornea or cataract surgery. The most common methods today use excimer lasers to reshape the curvature of the cornea. Successful refractive eye surgery at National Eye Care Hospital, the best eye hospital in Jalandhar, can reduce or cure common vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, as well as degenerative disorders like keratoconus. At National Eye Care Hospital, We provide Cataract and Refractive Eye Surgery with advanced technology.
