WHAT IS CATARACT?

A cataract is an opaque or cloudy area in the usually clear eye lens. It may interfere with normal vision depending on its size and location. Most cataracts develop in people over 40 years old, but it occasionally occurs in infants and young children. Cataracts usually develop in both eyes, but one may be worse than the other. The lens is behind the iris, the colored portion of the eye, inside the eye. The lens focuses on the retina, and the retina sends the image to the brain via the optic nerve. However, if a cataract clouds the lens, light is dispersed, and the lens can no longer focus properly, causing vision problems. The lens is composed of transparent proteins and water. Lens clouding occurs as a result of changes in protein and lens fibers.

Symptoms Of Cataract

Causes of Cataract

Most cataracts develop when aging or injury changes the tissue that makes up the eye’s lens. Protiens and fibers in the lens begins to break down, causing vision to become hazy or cloudy.

Risk factors that causes cataracts: increasing age, diabetes, excessive exposure to sunlight, smoking, high blood pressure, previous eye injury, obesity.

Diagnosing Cataracts At Eye Consultants Center

Doctors at Eye Consultants Center will do an extensive eye exam to check for cataracts and evaluate your vision. It will include an eye chart test for measuring your eye pressure at different distances and tonometry to test your eye vision. The most common tonometry test uses a painless puff of air to flatten your cornea and test your eye pressure. Your doctor will put drops in your eyes to make your pupils larger. It facilitates checking for damage to the optic nerve and retina at the back of your eye. Other tests your doctor might do include checking your glare sensitivity and color perception.

Cataract Treatment

When symptoms begin to appear, you may be able to improve your vision for a while using new glasses, strong bifocals, magnification, appropriate lighting or other visual aids. Think about surgery when your cataracts have progressed enough to seriously impair your vision and affect your daily life. Many people consider poor vision an inevitable fact of aging, but cataract surgery is a simple, relatively painless procedure to regain vision.

surgery is very successful in restoring vision. Nine out of 10 people who have cataract surgery regain very good vision, somewhere between 20/20 and 20/40. During surgery, the surgeon will remove your clouded lens and replace it with a clear, foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) Trifocal (IOL), Toric and Extended Depth of Focus IOL (EDOF) . New IOLs are being developed all the time to make the surgery less complicated for surgeons and the lenses more helpful to patients. Presbyopia-correcting IOLs potentially help you see at all distances, not just one.

Cataract Surgery is performed at the Eye Consultants Center in Dubai using advanced technology. It is a very reliable operation with minimum complications and a quick recovery rate.

Phacoemulsification is the new term for Cataract removal. It is done under either local or topical (only drops) anesthesia. The procedure will take approximately 15-20 minutes with IOL implantation.

Phacoemulsification is a sutureless procedure with a very quick recovery and most often patients will regain 20/25 or better vision without any glasses.
Prime IOLs is the new trend to correct all pre-existing refractive errors.
