Cataract is a condition in which the lens of our eyes becomes cloudy due to irregular protein and fibre accumulation.
As a result, cataract patients cannot see clearly.
eye lens is a transparent object
which bends light rays in the proper direction and sends them to retina
due to which we can see things clearly
In cataract patients, however, proteins and fibres in the lens combine irregularly and form white clusters.
Because of these clusters, light cannot reach the retina properly.
as a result of which the patient cannot see properly
to treat this condition cataract surgery is performed
During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial lens.
artificial lens is also called intraocular lens
and this lens is made up of plastic and silicon material
Drops are placed in the patient's eye before surgery to dilate her pupil.
Local anaesthesia is also used, so the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure.
A small cut is then made in the cornea of the patient's eye.
A thin needle probe is inserted into the eye using this cut.
The doctor uses this probe to transmit UV Rays into the eye's lens
which causes the eye's cloudy lens to break
The broken lens is then sucked out and removed.
after that intraocular lens is implanted
this type of cataract surgery is also called phacoemulsification
There is no need for stitches after the surgery.
because of a small cut in the cornea that heals itself
After cataract surgery, the patient's vision improves.
However, some patients are unable to see properly after surgery.
This is due to the fact that these patients have another eye condition, such as glaucoma.
