How Is The Lens Replaced In Cataract Surgery? - Arohi Eye Hospital

Cataracts start forming generally after the age
of 60. Although there is no certain age or age
group, because we see even young aged groups
developing cataracts today, but the average age
is that of 60. The reason behind the formation of
cataracts is that the lens in the eye, which is
normally clear, starts becoming cloudy in one or
both eyes, thus causing blurred vision. When the
tissue that focuses light onto the retina clouds,
and blocks the changes in light from the retina,
preventing nerve signals from telling the brain
what it is seeing, cataracts are formed. If you
are experiencing any such blurred vision, which
makes you think that your lens is clouding up,
you will need to immediately consult an eye
specialist to diagnose your actual problem. And
if your cataracts are confirmed, you will then
need a cataract specialist to treat you. This is
because a cataract specialist will know how to
treat your particular condition, because
different cataract conditions call for different
solutions.
Different solutions for cataracts Definitely, the
basic solution for treating cataracts is to
remove the original clouded lens and replace it
with a new artificial clear lens that can help
the eyes see clearly again. This is because
there is no medication, no eye drop, and no
exercise that can eliminate the cloudiness from
your lens and bring it back to normal. Thus, the
only way to treating a cataract is through the
best cataract surgery in Mumbai. Then, why do we
say that different cataract conditions call for
different solutions? This is because different
types of individuals require different kinds of
lenses. Let us explain to you in detail. Cataract

When a candidate is to undergo a cataract
surgery, the eye will first be measured before
surgery to determine the appropriate lens that
needs to be used for the patients eye. Once
done and arranged for, the appointment for the
surgery is provided. On the day of the surgery,
the patient is first administered eye drops and a
local anesthetic to numb the eye. Then, using an
operating microscope, a small incision will be
made at the front of the eye. Tiny surgical
instruments will then be used to break apart the
natural eye lens, which is ten gently suctioned
out. A plastic, acrylic, or silicone artificial
lens is then implanted into the eye for clear
vision. The eye will be then shielded the shield
being recommended to be worn for a few
days. Different types of lenses The artificial
lens that is inserted into the eye, after
removing the cloudy lens, is known as an
intraocular lens, or IOL. These IOLs come in a
variety of different focusing powers to improve
vision. Monofocal lens Patients suffering from
nearsightedness or farsightedness are inserted
with monofocal lenses to help them focus on one
focal point at a time. The surgeon attunes the
IOL to focus on near or far objects, as per the
patients requirements. Multifocal lens
Patients can benefits from multifocal lenses as
they helps to see clearly at all distances in a
range of lighting conditions, thus resolving both
near and far distance vision problems, offering
complete freedom from glasses. Monovision lens
Monovision lenses are used when both eyes will
have different lenses implanted one with short
distance, and the other with long distance. In
this case, only one eye can be used at a single
time. Toric lens This lens again resolves only
a certain distance vision, either far or near.
But, this lens is most suitable for patients
suffering from both cataracts and astigmatism. If
