What are Cataracts?

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which prevents light from reaching the retina, leading to blurry vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss but is completely treatable with surgery.

Types of Cataracts

Cataracts can develop in different parts of the lens, affecting vision in unique ways:

Cortical Cataract

Forms as white wedge-shaped streaks on the lens edges, causing glare and light sensitivity.

Nuclear Cataract

Affects the center of the lens, leading to gradual yellowing and difficulty seeing details.

Posterior Subcapsular Cataract

Develops at the back of the lens, affecting near vision and increasing glare sensitivity.

Traumatic Cataract

Develops after an eye injury, sometimes years later.

Congenital Cataract

Present at birth or develops in childhood due to genetic conditions or infections.

Secondary Cataract

Can occur after eye surgery or due to conditions like diabetes or medication use.

Causes & Risk Factors

Several factors can contribute to cataract development, including:

Aging

The most common cause of cataracts.

Diabetes

Increases the risk of early cataract formation.

UV Exposure

Prolonged sunlight exposure can damage the lens.

Previous Eye Injury

Can lead to cataract formation.

Use of Corticosteroids

May accelerate cataract development.

Genetics

Family history of cataracts increases risk

Symptoms

Double vision in one eye

Difficulty seeing in dim light

Sensitivity to bright light and glare

Seeing halos around lights

Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions

Fading or yellowing of colors

Diagnosis

At Balaji Horizon, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess cataracts and plan the best treatment:

Visual Acuity Test

Measures how clearly you can see at different distances.

Slit-Lamp Examination

Provides a magnified view of the lens and other eye structures.

Dilated Eye Exam

Allows for a detailed examination of the retina and optic nerve.

Tonometry

Measures eye pressure to rule out conditions like glaucoma.

Cataract Treatment: Advanced Surgery for Clear Vision

Surgery is the only effective treatment for cataracts. At Balaji Horizon, we offer state-of-the-art techniques for a quick and safe recovery.

Phacoemulsification (Phaco Surgery)

The most advanced and commonly performed cataract surgery:

✔ Uses ultrasound waves to break up the cloudy lens
✔ Requires a small incision (often heals without stitches)
✔ Minimally invasive, with fast healing & recovery
✔ Performed as an outpatient procedure

Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): Your Vision, Your Choice

During surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). We offer a variety of IOLs to match your lifestyle and vision needs:

Provides clear vision at a single fixed distance (distance, intermediate, or near). Most patients choose distance vision and use reading glasses for near work.

Monofocal IOLs

Provides sharp vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far), reducing the need for glasses.

Multifocal IOLs

Corrects astigmatism for sharper vision, available in monofocal and multifocal options.

Toric IOLs

Offers a wider range of clear vision, improving intermediate and near vision.

Extended Depth of Focus IOLs
