Cataract Surgery


A cataract is a cloudiness of the eye's natural lens, which lies between the front and back areas of the eye.
About half of the population has a cataract by age 65, and nearly everyone over 75 has at least one. This is because it is associated with the aging process. But in rare cases, infants can have congenital cataracts. These are usually related to the mother having German measles, chickenpox, or another infectious disease during pregnancy, but sometimes they are inherited.
Cataract can be rectified using cataract surgery. Like all surgeries it involves a certain amount of risk, but by far, cataract surgery is the most commonly performed type of surgery in the United States.
Many cataract surgeons have several procedures under their belt. Choosing a surgeon with this much experience will reduce the risk of something going wrong.

The type of cataract you have will affect exactly which symptoms you experience and how soon they will occur. When a nuclear cataract first develops it can bring about a brief improvement in your near vision, called "second sight." Unfortunately, the improved vision is short-lived and will disappear as the cataract worsens. Meanwhile, a sub capsular cataract may not produce any symptoms until it's well-developed.
If you at any point of time get the feeling that you are developing cataract, it is advisable to meet your ophthalmologist. After a physical examination and if you do indeed have cataract, he/she, with the latest advancements in cataract surgery can help you restore your vision.
