Cataract Surgery In Mumbai

• The opacification of the normal transparent lens
  is called cataract. The Latin word cataracta
  means waterfall. Imagine trying to peer through
  a sheet of falling water or through a frosted or
  fogged-up window. Development of Cataract varies
  from person to person but as a general rule, most
  cataracts develop slowly over a period of time. A
  cataract can take months or even years to reach a
  point where it adversely affects vision.

Causes of cataract

• Age-related cataract
• The cataract occurs as a result of the natural
  aging process of lens fibres which become opaque
  over a period of time.
• Traumatic cataract
• Due to a direct penetrating injury.
• Concussion- Electric shock and lightning.
• Ionizing radiation done as treatment for ocular
  tumors.
• Surgical trauma
• Metabolic cataract Defect in body
  metabolism
• Diabetes
• Galactosaemia -inborn error of metabolism
• Calcium disorders
• Steroid-induced cataract
• This occurs as a result of excess intake of oral
  steroid or putting steroid drops in the eye.
• Secondary cataract
• Here, cataract develops as a result of some other
  primary ocular disease such as chronic eye
  inflammation or glaucoma.

History of Cataract treatment

• The earliest surgery treatment was started in
  India, by Maharshi Sushruta. It was known as
  couching, where the cataractous lens was
  dislocated backward into the bottom of the eye
  and out of visual axis.
• This procedure was performed for more than two
  thousand years until the mid-eighteenth century.
  Great progress in cataract surgery has been made
  in recent years with the introduction of
  micro-surgical instruments, microscope and modern
  surgical techniques like phacoemulsification,
  which has made couching obsolete.
• In the early stages of cataract development, all
  that is needed to correct your vision with
  glasses is a change in prescription. As the
  cataract develops and begins to affect your
  lifestyle, it needs to be removed. Cataract
  surgery, the most commonly performed operation,
  is safe and effective in 95 patients with
  enhancement in vision.

Methods of evaluation of cataracts

• Visual acuity Checking vision of both eyes
  unaided and aided with glasses and pin-hole
  vision to know the improvement as well as to get
  the general idea about the macular function of
  the eyes. This will help in prognostic evaluation
  of visual recovery after cataract surgery.
• Intra ocular pressure If intra-ocular pressure
  increases as a secondary to cataract, surgery is
  needed to prevent further complications.
• Slit-lamp examination To know the type of
  cataract along with its opacity, morphology and
  etiology or any associated ocular pathology.
• Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy for complete
  retinal evaluation. Dense cataract will prevent
  retinal evaluation and such cases need B-scan for
  retinal evaluation.
• A-scan biometry To calculate the AL and IOL
  power for implantation in cases of mature
  cataract the posterior segment of the eye is
  evaluated.
• Optical biometry this is an advanced non contact
  method to measure IOL power. It is patient
  friendly and highly precise

Treatment Options Available For Cataract

• Extra Capsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE) is a
  conventional technique.
• ECCE requires an incision of 10-12mm
• The doctor removes the clouded lens in one piece.
• Multiple stitches are required.
• Doctor implants a non-foldable lens

Phacoemulsification A Micro Incision Cataract
Surgery

• Phacoemulsification is latest technology
  in Cataract surgery. It is a micro-incisional
  stitch less operation where cataract
  is emulsified by ultra sound energy, liquefied
  sucked through the phacoemulsifier probe. A
  foldable intra- ocular lens is then implanted in
  the eye permanently.
• Vision restoration is possible in a short period
  of time is least traumatic with early
  rehabilitation recuperation.

Advantages of cataract surgery in Mumbai

• It is Stitchless. Hence healing is very fast.
• It is done under Topical anaesthesia (by putting
  drops.) So no need to patch the eye except in
  special circumstances
• Vision correction for far near is possible
• Patient can get back to work in the shortest
  possible time

11
Lens implants

• During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the
  eye that has turned opaque is removed, resulting
  in loss of focusing power of the eye. This
  situation would be parallel to clicking a
  photograph without a camera lensthe picture
  would be extremely blurred. When the natural lens
  of the eye is removed an artificial implant is
  placed in the eye.
