MICS & Cataract
What is Cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred or hazy vision. It is not a growth or film over the eye. With cataract, colors may look dull, lights may glare, and vision gradually becomes poor, affecting daily activities like reading and driving.
Why Do Cataracts Develop?
- Aging (most common cause)
- Medical conditions (diabetes, kidney disease, glaucoma)
- Smoking, long-term medicines, injuries or infections
- Can also occur in infants due to genetics or trauma
Symptoms You May Notice
- Cloudy or blurred vision
- Faded colors
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Glare or halos around lights
- Needing brighter light for reading
- Double vision in one eye
Treatment Options
Cataracts cannot be corrected with glasses once advanced. Surgery is the only effective treatment.
At Saluja Eye Care Center, we offer:
- Phacoemulsification – ultrasound breaks cataract into small pieces, removed through a micro-incision
- Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS) – advanced, stitchless, safe, and quick recovery
- SICS – used for very hard cataracts
Lens Options After Surgery
We replace the cloudy lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). Options include:
- Monofocal – clear distance vision, glasses needed for near work
- Toric – corrects astigmatism
- Multifocal & Trifocal – clear near, intermediate, and distance vision, reduces need for glasses
- EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) – better range of clear vision, especially for distance & intermediate
