Cataract, commonly known as मोतियाबिन्द, is a condition in which the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, gradually affecting the clarity of vision. Cataract is commonly associated with ageing, although it can also occur due to other factors and at different stages of life.

At Lahan Eye Centre, we provide comprehensive cataract evaluation and treatment with experienced ophthalmologists, modern diagnostic facilities, and advanced surgical technology. Each patient is carefully assessed so that the most appropriate treatment can be planned according to their individual eye condition.

What is Cataract?

The natural lens of the eye helps focus light onto the retina to produce a clear image. When the lens becomes cloudy due to cataract, vision may gradually become blurred, hazy, or less clear.

Cataract usually develops gradually. Some people may initially notice only minor changes in their vision, while others may experience increasing difficulty with everyday activities such as reading, driving, recognizing faces, or seeing clearly in low-light conditions.

Common Symptoms of Cataract

Cataract symptoms can vary from person to person. Common signs may include:

• Blurred or cloudy vision
• Difficulty seeing clearly in low light
• Increased sensitivity to bright lights or glare
• Difficulty reading or performing detailed visual tasks
• Fading or reduced clarity of colours
• Frequent changes in spectacle power
• Difficulty seeing clearly while driving, particularly at night

If you notice changes in your vision, a comprehensive eye examination can help determine whether cataract or another eye condition may be responsible.

Cataract Evaluation at Lahan Eye Centre

A detailed ophthalmic examination is important before cataract treatment. Our ophthalmologists assess the eye and evaluate the patient's vision and overall eye health to determine the appropriate course of treatment.

Lahan Eye Centre is equipped with modern ophthalmic diagnostic and surgical technology, including the Alcon Legion Phaco System and IOLMaster 700, which support cataract evaluation and surgical planning.

Cataract Surgery

When cataract significantly affects vision and daily activities, cataract surgery may be recommended by the ophthalmologist. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

The type of intraocular lens and the surgical approach are selected according to the patient's eye measurements, visual requirements, and clinical condition. Your ophthalmologist will discuss the available options and recommend an appropriate solution following a detailed examination.
