Diagnosis
If you detect that you are having vision problems, then consult an ophthalmologist without any delay. The doctor will ask about your medical history and symptoms to narrow down the problem. If the doctor suspects that you have a cataract in one or both eyes, he/she may recommend the following test.
- Visual Acuity Test- This test helps the doctor to check the eye power or how clearly a person can see an object.
- Slit-lamp Exam- This test involves inspection of the cornea, iris, eye lens, and the space between the iris and the cornea.
- Retinal Exam- It is done to see clearly on the backside of the retina. The pupils are dilated and an ophthalmoscope is used to examine the eye lens to look for signs of cataracts.
- Tonometry Test- This test is done to check the pressure inside the eyes and to look for early signs of glaucoma, if necessary.
Surgery
Cataract surgery is the procedure used for the treatment of cataracts.
MICS – Micro incision cataract surgery (MICS) is an approach to remove cataracts through an incision less than 1.8 mm. The purpose of the surgery is to improve the outcome of the surgery. MICS has been relied on to be a minimally traumatic surgery that offers better postoperative outcomes. In this sophisticated cataract surgery, a high degree of surgical precision and innovation is used.
Advantages of MICS include:
- Smaller incision
- Decreased chances of surgically induced astigmatism
- Faster recovery of vision
- Faster healing
FLACS – Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is a recent development in the field of cataract surgery. FLACS carries lesser risks compared to non-FLACS small incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Compared to manual techniques, FLACS can offer a greater level of precision and repeatability for certain tissue planes.

- More than half of the Indians have cataracts by the time they turn 70.
- Major factors leading to cataracts are – exposure to the sun, obesity, smoking, high myopia, eye injury, and family history.
- There are 4 types of cataracts – subcapsular, nuclear, congenital, and cortical.
- Cataract is considered to be the most common eye problem faced by people as they age.
- Cataract surgery is considered to be one of the most perfect surgeries in the world.

How are cataracts formed?
To understand the formation of cataracts, you should first understand the function and working of the eye lens. It works in a similar way to a camera lens. The lens focuses the light on the retina and helps you to see clearly. The lens is located right behind the colored part of your eyes (iris). The lens functions by focusing the light that enters the eyes and produces clear and sharp images on the retina. The lens is primarily composed of protein and water. In normal conditions, the protein in the lens helps to pass the light and reach the retina so that an image can be formed. But with aging, the protein may start to clump together and start depositing on the lens. The eye lens also becomes less flexible and less transparent with age. Apart from aging, sometimes age-related and other medical conditions may also lead to clumping of the lens tissues and protein. Due to this, a cloudy area is formed over the lens which interrupts the vision. This is how cataracts develop. The condition keeps advancing until it is addressed. A cataract scatters and blocks the light that passes through the lens and prevents it from reaching the retina. As a result, your vision becomes blurry.Types of cataract:
There are four major types and other types as secondary, radiation, etc.- Subcapsular cataract – It occurs at the back of the lens. People with high diabetes or high doses of steroid medications are at a greater risk of developing this form of cataract.
- Nuclear cataract – This form of cataracts develop deep in the central zone of the lens. Nuclear cataract usually forms with aging.
- Cortical cataract – In this form of cataract, white, wedge like opacities form in the periphery of the lens. This form of cataract occurs in the cortex of the lens.
- Congenital Cataracts- This type of cataract occurs in infants and children. Most infants are born with congenital cataracts but they can also develop over time due to genetic factors, intrauterine infection, or injury.
Preventions of cataract:
The old saying, prevention is better than cure, is as valid for cataract as for any other disease. Here are a few significant ways to prevent the loss of vision due to cataract:- Modify your daily diet
- Stop smoking
- Protection from ultraviolet radiation
- Control your blood sugar
- Avoid trauma
- Cut down on unnecessary use of steroids
- Regular eye check up
