Cataracts develop gradually, leading to symptoms like blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, and sensitivity to light. While aging is the primary cause, cataracts can also result from factors like eye injuries, certain medications, and underlying health conditions. Early detection through regular eye exams is crucial for effective treatment.

Cataracts can cause blurry vision, making it difficult to see clearly, especially in low light. You might notice increased glare, particularly from headlights while driving at night. Double vision in one eye, frequent changes in prescription glasses, and unexpected improvement in near vision are also common symptoms.

The cloudy lens is replaced with a foldable, artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to restore vision. The Phacoemulsification technique uses a tiny incision and topical anesthesia, avoiding injections or stitches. This quick, painless procedure offers fast recovery, allowing patients to return to their daily activities within a week.
