Introduction:
Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people over 50 — but they’re also one of the most treatable.
What Are Cataracts?
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurred or dimmed vision.
Common Symptoms:
- Blurred or double vision
- Increased sensitivity to light
- Fading of colors
- Difficulty seeing at night
Causes & Risk Factors:
Aging is the primary cause, but diabetes, smoking, prolonged sun exposure, and eye injuries can contribute.
Treatment Options:
At Maheshwari Eye Hospital, cataract removal is performed using the latest phacoemulsification technique with premium lens implants for clearer, faster recovery.
When to Consider Surgery:
When daily activities like reading, driving, or watching TV are affected, it’s time to consider cataract surgery.
