Cataract Services

A cataract is the clouding of the lens of your eye that impairs vision. A cataract is responsible for more than half of the blindness in the world, which is a grim fact because it is a treatable condition. According to WHO statistics, in India, there are more than 12 million blind eyes of which 80% is due to cataract which is a preventable disease. Advancing age is the topmost cause for cataracts.
Surgery is the only treatment for cataracts. In cataract surgery, the clouded lens is replaced with Intra Ocular Lens. Many people believe in the myth that cataract should be allowed to mature before it is operated. This harms the eyes and predisposes the patient to complicated surgery.
