Understanding Cataracts: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide. At Diva Eye Institute, we specialize in advanced cataract treatments to restore clarity and improve quality of life.

What are Cataracts?

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which can interfere with vision. It typically develops with age but can also result from trauma, diabetes, or prolonged steroid use.

Symptoms of Cataracts:

– Blurred or dim vision

– Increased sensitivity to light and glare

– Difficulty seeing at night

– Fading or yellowing of colors

Causes of Cataracts:

1. Aging: The most common cause, as proteins in the lens break down over time.

2. Injury: Eye injuries can lead to the formation of cataracts.

3. Genetics: A family history of cataracts can increase the risk.

4. Medical Conditions: Diabetes and prolonged steroid use are significant contributors. 

Advanced Treatment Options at Diva Eye Institute:

1. Phacoemulsification: A minimally invasive procedure using ultrasound to remove the cloudy lens, followed by the implantation of an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

2. Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Precision technology ensures optimal outcomes and faster recovery.

3. Customized Lenses: We offer premium lenses, including multifocal and toric IOLs, to address specific vision needs. 

Life After Cataract Surgery

Most patients experience immediate improvement in vision post-surgery. Regular follow-ups ensure long-term success and eye health.
