Cataract
Cataracts, a common condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, can significantly impair vision and affect daily activities. At Sri Vijaya Hitech Hospital, we offer comprehensive cataract care, starting with advanced diagnostic evaluations to accurately assess the severity of the condition. For those requiring treatment, our skilled ophthalmologists perform state-of-the-art cataract surgery, which involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear, artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This minimally invasive procedure typically results in restored vision and a swift recovery. Post-surgery, our dedicated team provides detailed care instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing and visual outcomes. Committed to combining innovative technology with compassionate care, we strive to enhance your vision and quality of life.
Types of Cataracts
1. Mature Cataracts: The seasoned veterans, mature cataracts have hardened and significantly cloud the lens, causing severe vision impairment. These typically require surgery for restoration of sight.
2. Immature Cataracts: Still in their early stages, immature cataracts cause mild to moderate vision blurriness or sensitivity to light. While surgery isn’t always immediate, monitoring and discussing options with your doctor is important
3. Cortical Cataracts: These wedge-shaped opacities form in the outer layers of the lens, potentially affecting peripheral vision and night vision. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve surgery or observation.
4. Congenital Cataracts: Present at birth or developing in early childhood, these cataracts can vary in severity and require personalized treatment plans to protect and optimize vision development.

Frequently Asked Questions
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which impairs vision. It often develops gradually and is commonly associated with aging, though it can also result from injury, genetic factors, or certain medical conditions.
Cataracts are diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination, which includes visual acuity tests, dilated eye exams, and imaging studies to assess the severity and impact of the cataract on your vision.
Surgery is typically recommended when cataracts significantly interfere with daily activities and quality of life. If vision problems are affecting your ability to perform routine tasks, cataract surgery may be the best option.
Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens from the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial lens (intraocular lens or IOL). The procedure is usually performed using advanced techniques such as phacoemulsification or laser-assisted surgery.
Most patients experience a significant improvement in vision within a few days after surgery. Full recovery can take a few weeks, during which time you’ll need to follow post-operative care instructions and attend follow-up appointments.
Your ophthalmologist will provide detailed pre-operative instructions, including information on any medications you should avoid and preparations for the day of the surgery. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure a smooth procedure.
