Cataract ('safed motia') is a clouding or opacity of the normally transparent lens inside the eye. To understand why this leads to loss of vision, it is important to understand the functioning of a normal eye. Inside the eye, behind the colored part of the eye (iris) with the black hole in the center (pupil) is a lens. In the normal eye the lens is clear or transparent. It helps to focus light rays on to the tissue at the back of the eye (retina). When cataract develops the lens becomes cloudy and prevents the light rays passing into the retina. The picture that the retina receives becomes dull and fuzzy. Cataract usually forms and progresses slowly and therefore leads to a gradual blurring of vision. What causes cataract? Most forms of cataract develop in adult life. The normal process of aging causes the lens to harden and become cloudy (opaque). This is called age-related cataract and it is the most common type. It can occur anytime after the age of 40. In younger people they can result from an injury, certain drugs, long-standing inflammation or illnesses such as diabetes. Babies can be born with this condition. This is called congenital cataract. What are the symptoms of cataract? Blurring of Vision : Cataract leads to a painless, progressive blurring or dimming of vision. The things may seem blurred around the edges, or your glass may seem dirty or scratched. The opacity affecting the central part of the lens may cause poor vision in bright light.Frequent change of glasses : Some forms of cataract lead to a change in refractive power of your lens and thus cause frequent changes in power of your glasses. Because of this, some patients may no longer need the reading glasses for near work, this phenomenon is known as 'second sight'.Glare : Cataract may also lead to sensitivity to light and glare, especially in bright sunlight or while driving at night.Double Images : The cloudiness in the lens may occur in more than one place, so that the light rays that reach the retina are split, causing a double image.Change in color vision : Cataract may also cause change in color vision. As the cataract develops its center becomes more and more yellow, giving everything you see a yellowish tinge. What is the treatment? Can it be cured by medicines? There are no medications, eye drops, exercises or glasses that will cause cataracts to disappear once they have formed. Surgery is the only way to remove a cataract. Cataracts cannot be removed with a laser, only through a surgical incision. In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed from the eye. In most cases, the focusing power of the natural lens is restored by replacing it with a permanent intraocular lens implant. When should I have the surgery? Usually, you can decide if, and at what stage to have the operation. The cataract may need no treatment at all if the vision is only a little blurry. A change in your eyeglass prescription may improve vision for a while. If visual impairment interferes with your ability to read, to work, or to do the things you enjoy then you will probably want to consider surgery. In the past, eye specialists often waited until the cataract became 'ripe' before suggesting you had it removed. Nowadays, with modern surgery the operation can be carried out at any stage of the cataract's development, and in fact, is a little safer to do before the cataract becomes 'ripe'.

Transform how you see the world. With advanced microincision cataract surgery. Cataract is the clouding of the lens of your eye with ageing that impairs vision. Now it s easier than ever to regain clear vision after cataract. In cataract, there is a buildup of protein in the lens of the eye which makes it cloudy. This prevents light from passing clearly through the lens, thereby causing loss of vision. Advancing age is a primary reason for cataract. With age, protein of the lens turns opaque. Other causes of cataract are metabolic disorders such as diabetes, excessive exposure to sunlight, lifestyle disorders like heavy alcohol consumption and smoking. Injury to the eye can also lead to clouding of the lens of the eye. Inflammation in the eye (uveitis) can also lead to the formation of cataract. Treatment of Cataract : When cataract forms, surgery is the only way to treat it. In cataract surgery, the surgeon removes the clouded lens and puts an Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) in your eye. Your vision will be as good as pre-cataract days, though you may need to wear glasses. Over the years, cataract surgery has moved from vision restorative to refractive surgery, so that you have reduced need of glasses. Best cataract treatment requires the combination of expertise of experienced doctors and latest technology working together. It is equipped with both, excellent surgeons and advanced, latest phacoemulsification machines providing the best surgical experience to patients. Surgical Techniques : Micro Incision Cataract Surgery : Over the years the size of corneal incision made during cataract surgery has considerably reduced leading to improved visual outcome quicker post procedure recovery for the patient. All cataract surgeries are daycare procedures Requires a very small clear corneal incision of about 2mm Cataract is emulsified into small pieces by phacoemulsification and a foldable IOL is implanted. - Walk-in, Walk-out procedure - Stitchless, bloodless, painless surgery - Quick healing and post-operative recovery Phacoemulsification : Requires a small clear corneal incision of 2.8 mm Stitchless surgery Cataract is emulsified and removed using an ultrasonic phacoemulsification probe Foldable IOL is implanted Small Incision Sutureless cataract surgery : Requires a larger scleral incision. However it is also a stitchless surgery. Procedure of choice in advanced cases where phacoemulsification is not possible or there may be risk of corneal damage. Cataract is removed in tote and IOL is implanted. Ayaan Eye Hospital has always been adopting the latest technology in eye care that has resulted in improved visual outcome and comfort for the patient. True to our belief that every eye deserves the best, we have introduced the latest generation phaco machines. It houses the most advanced phacoemulsification systems like the AMO Sovereign Whitestar and AMO Sovereign Compact. Types of Intraocular lenses : Monofocal IOLs are implantable lenses made of acrylic or silicone materials and placed permanently in the eye after removal of the eye s natural lens. Monofocal lenses have a single zone of clear focus, usually set for excellent distance vision, but require the use of reading glasses for near tasks, like reading. Toric IOLs are intraocular lenses that reduce the effect of pre-existing corneal astigmatism by reducing the residual refractive cylinder and improve the quality of uncorrected distance vision. Multifocal IOLs incorporate both distance and near powered segments in one lens. The base power bends light coming from distant objects to a single focal point on the retina.

Can you imagine your life without vision? We use our eyes practically every moment while we are awake, and so we need to give attention to eye health. Increased use of digital devices, pollution, chemical vapors, frequent use of cosmetics, etc. can cause irritation and redness in eyes. People who stare at computer screen for hours without taking a break can develop digital eye syndrome, which may lead to watering of eyes and even poor eyesight. You should, therefore, take some precautions such as wearing sunglasses when out in sun, wearing protecting glasses while using a computer or even washing eyes with cold water often. Some special Ayurvedic therapies can also help you to Eye Care and treat your eye problems.

The Eye Inside your eye, a clear lens is positioned behind your pupil and colored Iris. This lens helps to focus light rays onto the retina at the back of the eye so that you can see clearly. How does Cataract affect vision? When a cataract forms, the lens becomes cloudy or opaque causing: Blurry and Hazy Vision Double Vision Difficulty Seeing in Bright Light Impaired Color Vision Progressive Reduction in Vision Progress in Cataract Surgery Cataract is treated by surgically removing the cataract and implanting an artificial replacement called an intraocular lens (IOL). Recent advances in the cataract surgery procedure have gradually reduced the size of the incision needed for surgery from 12mm to 3mm making it safer and less invasive. Microincision Cataract Surgery (MICS) MICS is the most advanced, state-of-the-art technique for treating cataract. Now only two very small incisions of 1.8mm or less are required to perform the entire cataract surgery procedure. The benefits of MICS Reducing the incision size with pioneering MICS technique provides the following advantages: Safe Reliable Operation. Less Invasive, Gentle Surgery and Improved Patient Comfort. Prevents unwanted Interferences to Vision known as Astigmatism. Faster Healing and Recovery time -return to normal Life more Quickly. MICS Procedure Specialized MICS equipment and instruments are used to perform the surgery in a safe and stable manner an ultrasound probe is used to safely break up the cataract using a technique called Phacoemulsification. The cataract is then removed with suction (Aspiration).The eye is then ready to receive artificial lens.

The crystalline lens of the eye is clear and transparent and allows light to pass through it. With age or other factors, the lens becomes opaque and obstructs the passage of light. This leads to diminishing vision and glare. This disorder is called Cataract and is the most common cause of blindness.

Ayurveda prescribes Panchakarma Therapy as the best remedy for almost all ailments as it purifies the body from toxic waste that have settled in the body due to wrong life styles prevailing in the modern world. Panchkarma comprises five distinct therapeutic procedures. Each procedure has an importance in our body. That is why utmost care is exercised at Itoozhi Nursing Home while performing Panchakarma on patients.

During this procedure, thrust is given on treatments developed for purifying the blood in the body. Obviously, this process is the best cure for skin eruptions and psoriasis amongst others.

Amblyopia is commonly known as lazy eye. This should not be confused with squints. Amblyopia is poor vision in an eye that did not develop normal sight during early childhood. After the age of four years, the development of the part of the brain that processes vision is almost complete. If the brain has not received clear images from the weak eye, it would be difficult to improve the vision in this eye after the brain is completely developed. The eye is then said to be amblyopia or lazy. Common causes of Amblyopia (Lazy eye) Shortsightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatismLarge differences in refractive power between the two eyesStrabismus (squint)Obstruction of vision by droopy eyelid, cataract or other lesions

The common subjective complain drawn out in the eye examination course is referred as the condition of double vision or Diplopia. Diplopia frequently appears as the symptom of especially neurologic or muscular process and also of numerous systematic ailments. Pathophysiology : In this condition the 2eyes retinas fail to maintain visual objects correspondence (normal neuromuscular coordination). Abnormal ocular media like vitreous abnormalities, scarring or corneal distortion, retinal conditions, subluxation or cataract of the pseudophakic lens implant, openings in the iris, etc leads to monocular Diplopia. Morbidity / Mortality: On performing visually demanding tasks like operating tools or while driving a vehicle, morbidity in relation to problems with confusion with object orientation and depth perception is essential. Age Diplopia is usually found in adults and people with mature visual systems. The symptoms of this problem cannot be expressed by young children if faced. Causes of Diplopia : 1.Cornea problems Double vision in an eye is experienced due to problem with cornea. Shingles or herpes zoster is one of the cornea infections resulting into cornea to deform. LASIK surgery is the rarest complication which has the tendency to leave one altered cornea producing uneven images. 2.Problem with lens: The double vision problem is caused by the commonest lens problem of cataract. Distorted images are formed if cataracts exist in both the eyes. Minor surgery usually rectifies the cataract problem.

The natural lens: The natural lens, like the cornea, makes sure that the light rays which enter the eye are properly focussed on to the retina. This results in a sharp image on the retina. The natural lens is transparent and clear which enables light to pass through it easily.What is Cataract? Clouding or opacification of the natural lens is cataract. Cataract caused by old age (most commonly) or other reasons affects the clarity and the visual acuity. The lens startes loosing its transparency and become transluscent and then opaque. Cataract is the most common cause of vision impairment and blindness in the world.What are the Symptoms of cataractBlurred visionDouble visionSensitivity to lightThe need for more light when readingDiminished night visionChanged prescription power for glassesSenile cataract Senile cataract is by far the most common type of cataract. Senile cataract can be compared to getting wrinkles and turning grey. Due to an aging population, this type of cataract is on the increase.When Is It Time To Consider Cataract Surgery? Time for cataract surgery depends on many factors including your quality of life, your occupational needs, personal health, grading of cataract, associated complications (if any), etc.Typically down time for surgery is limited, so if you have some help, chances are good you will recover quickly and experience a much better quality of life.

Cataract is a cloudiness or opacity in the normally transparent crystalline lens of the eye. The human lens is transparent so that light can travel through it easily. With opacification of the lens, it can no longer transmit a clear picture to the retina where it can be processed and sent through the optic nerve to the brain. The vast majority of cataracts are related to age (Senile cataract). Cataract may be present at birth or in early childhood (congenital or developmental) or may occur due to injury to the eye or may be due to prolonged use of certain drugs (like steroids). Cataracts are 10 times more common in diabetic patients than in the general population. The early signs of cataract are blurring of distant vision, which may result in frequent change in glasses, increased glare specially experienced at nights while driving or an inability to face light on the face and colors appearing dull. Patients usually refer their vision as seeing things through a smoke screen. Factors have been identified that may increase the risk of cataract in adults: Aging, long-term exposure to sunlight, smoking or any form of tobacco use, high cholesterol, diabetes, eye injury and drugs like steroids. Patients above the age of 50 or any adult with these risk factors are advised yearly check up by an ophthalmologist. Treatment Surgical removal of cataracts and replacement with an artificial lens (called an intraocular lens) is the only cure for this condition. There is no medical treatment for cataract. Worldwide, it is the most successful surgical procedure. This is performed as a day care surgical procedure under local anaesthesia or topical anaesthesia. In majority of the cataracts, the removal of the cataract is done using the modern technology of phacoemulsification, which uses ultrasound energy to emulsify the cataract. After cataract removal, an intraocular lens is placed within the eye for good visual restoration. The lens used after cataract removal may be monofocal, multifocal, toric, or accommodative. These modern lenses help the patient get spectacle free vision almost immediately. All eyes may not be suitable for all type of lenses, the consulting ophthalmologist will discuss with every patient after examining the various options. Following cataract surgery patients can leave for home after an hour and resume all normal activities immediately. They will need to use drops as per the doctor s advice and come for check up as advised. At Sankara Eye Hospital, the most recent advances in cataract surgery are practised, such as use of ultra small incision to remove and replace the cataractous lens (popularly known as MICS). The hospital has top of the line equipment, experienced surgeons and apt technology to customise treatment for patients needing cataract surgery.

Cataract is the clouding of the natural crystalline lens and typically occurs because of ageing, although other reasons may be prolonged use of steroids, exposure to ultra violet and associated health problems like diabetes and eye injuries. Surgery is the only known effective treatment for cataract removal. All cataract surgeries are aimed at removal of the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with an Intra Ocular Lens(IOL). At Vasan Eye Care Hospitals Phacoemulsification is performed ( No stitch surgery) and a foldable IOL is inserted. There are multiple IOL choices available for the surgery which are explained below. These lenses can be inserted through a small 1.8 to 2.8 mm opening Aberration free/ Aspheric IOLS These IOLs gives good quality of vision post operative due to the lens design, it also improves the contrast sensitivity of the patient and good night vision. These lenses also filter the harmful UV light and blue light which are said to be harmful to the retina. Toric IOLS These IOLs correct the pre existing corneal astigmatism there by reducing the possibility of spectacle wear for distant vision post operatively.

Most cataracts are related to the natural ageing of the eye. However, other factors can be involved. Some diseases, such as diabetes or glaucoma, or the use of certain medications, such as steroids, are thought to increase the chance of a cataract occurring. Often, a cataract only covers a small part of the lens; if sight is not greatly impaired there is no need to remove the cataract. However, if a large portion of the lens becomes cloudy, sight can be partially or completely lost until the cataract is removed. Who can have a cataract? Cataracts can occur at any age. Most cataracts occur in people who are 60 years of age or older, although a smaller number of people develop cataracts between the ages of 45 and 60. Some cataracts occur in children at birth due to genetic disorders or if the mother and rubella (German measles). Cataracts due to injury can occur at any age. Symptoms of cataracts If you have cataracts you may not realize it right away. Vision loss may be gradual, painless and hard to detect until significant loss has occurred. Depending on the nature and cause, a cataract rapidly over a few months or slowly over many years. In older people, it is not unusual for cataracts to develop in both eyes but most of the time the cataract develops in only one eye at a time. Some of the more common symptoms of cataracts include: Blurred vision Glare Fading or yellowing of colours Poor night vision Double vision in one eye Halos around lights People with a cataract in only one eye may notice a loss of depth perception; this can cause problems in judging where stairs are and determining the distance of cars driving in front of them.

What is Computer Vision Syndrome? Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a term that describes vision-related problems and other symptoms caused by prolonged computer use. As our dependence on computers continues to grow, an increasing number of people are seeking medical attention for eye strain and irritation, along with back, neck and shoulder soreness. Who is affected by CVS? Anyone who spends more than two hours a day in front of the computer screen is likely to experience some degree of CVS. Young children playing computer games over long hours and people over 40 years working on computers are more susceptible than others. Those with refractive errors, binocular vision problems, focusing disorders, dry eye disease, etc, are likely to suffer from worse symptoms of CVS as compared to others.

Some eye problems are minor and transient. But some of them lead to permanent loss of vision, and there are many diseases that affect the eye with growing old and environment, the following are common ones:1-Cataracts. 2- Blue. 3- Conjunctivitis, or pink eye. 4- Retinal disorders. Medicine in India in this field has made great progress.

CATARACT The transparent lens of our eyes, play an important role in helping to see the beautiful world around us. As the thickness of the lens increases, it will turn dim gray or white in color. This affects the transparency of the lens and hence our ability to see the world around us.Cataract is very common in older people. By age 60, more than half of all Indian patients would have developed cataract. Cataract can occur in one or both eyes What are the symptoms of a cataract? The most common symptoms of a cataract are: Cloudy or blurry vision.Colors seem faded.Glare, Headlights, lamps, or sunlight may appear too bright.A halo may appear around lights.Poor night vision.Double vision or multiple images in one eye. (This symptom may clear as the cataract gets larger).Frequent prescription changes in your eyeglasses or contact lenses.Sometimes because of swelling of the cataract the pressure in the eye goes up and the patient complains of mild heaviness or headache.Normally the vision of a cataract patient is similar to the vision in a smoggy/cloudy atmosphere. What is the treatment?There are no medicines or glasses to prevent or treat cataract. The only effective treatment for cataract is surgery.Does the word surgery scare you?? Do not worry.With the latest technology, cataract surgery has become a very simple one day procedure.What are the different types of cataract surgeries? Al Salama eye hospital is equipped with the state of art facilities and the modern technology to provide the best care to our guests.Cataract surgery is a procedure where your diseased lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens.The two latest techniques of cataract surgeries are:1. Phacoemulfication:A small self sealing incision (2.2 Mille meters) is made on the side of the cornea (the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye) just next to the sclera (white part of the eye).Your doctor inserts a tiny probe into the eye. This device emits ultrasound waves that soften and break up the lens so that it can be removed by suction. Then a foldable intraocular lens is placed to give you best vision.It is a procedure with no sutures (stitches) and a self sealing pinhole wound helping in faster recovery. Most cataract surgeries today are done by Phacoemulsification.2. SICS (Small Incision Cataract Surgery): In this procedure an incision of 3 to 4 mm is made on the sclera (white part of the eye). Your doctor then removes the cataractous lens in one piece and places a rigid intraocular lens in its place to give you better vision. This procedure requires sutures (stitches) hence requires some time for recovery.
