Cataract Surgery

What is Cataract Surgery?

Cataract surgery is a standard and safe procedure to treat cataracts, which are cloudy areas that form on the lens of your eye. Cataracts can cause vision problems, including blurriness, double vision, and difficulty seeing at night. 

During cataract surgery, your surgeon will make an incision in your eye and remove the cloudy lens. They will then replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Cataract surgery is usually outpatient, meaning you won’t need to stay overnight. 

Cataract surgery is generally safe and has a high success rate. Complications from the Surgery are rare but can include infection, bleeding, or retinal detachment.

Types of Cataract Surgery Available at Netram Eye Foundation

Two types of cataract surgery are available at Netram Eye Foundation: Phacoemulsification ( PHACO) and Custom- Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (C-MICS)

Phacoemulsification is the most common type of cataract surgery performed today. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to break up the cataract so it can be removed through a small incision in the eye. This type of Surgery usually takes less than 15 minutes to perform and has a short recovery time.

Micro Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) is an advanced surgical technique for treating cataracts. This innovative procedure involves making a small incision in the eye to remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). MICS offers numerous advantages, including faster recovery, minimal discomfort, and reduced risk of complications.

The small incision used in MICS promotes quicker healing and requires no stitches. This modern approach to cataract surgery has revolutionized the field, allowing patients to regain clear vision with minimal disruption to their daily lives. MICS is a testament to the ongoing advancements in eye surgery, enhancing patient outcomes and improving quality of life.

Complications from Cataract Surgery and How to Avoid Them

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective procedure that has helped millions of people improve their vision. However, as with any surgery, potential complications can occur. The most common complications from cataract surgery include infection, bleeding, inflammation, and poor vision.

Infection: Infection is the most severe complication after cataract surgery. Although the risk of infection is low (less than 1%), it can lead to severe problems such as vision loss or even blindness. Following your surgeon’s instructions on care after Surgery is essential to avoid infection. This includes keeping the surgical area clean and using the eye drops prescribed by your surgeon.

Bleeding: Bleeding can occur during or after Surgery. Although usually not severe, it can cause the eye to become red and irritated. If you experience any bleeding, it is essential to contact your surgeon immediately so that they can determine if additional treatment is needed.

Inflammation: Inflammation is a common complication after cataract surgery but usually disappears within a few weeks. However, if the inflammation persists or gets worse, you should contact your surgeon so that they can prescribe medication to help reduce the swelling.

Poor Vision: Poor vision is one of the most common complaints after cataract surgery. In most cases, this is due to residual cataracts (tiny pieces of the lens that are left behind after.
