Cataract : Nashik Doctors

Here is an online medical guide of Nashik providing a brief information on the Cataract including information like : causes, symptoms, treatment and more.

• A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens in your eye which affects your vision.
• Clouded vision can make it more difficult to read, drive a car, see at night or see the expression on someone’s face.
• Cataracts are very common in older people.
• Signs and symptoms of cataracts include: clouded, blurred or dim vision, difficulty in seeing at night, sensitivity to light, frequent changes in eyeglass, yellowing of colors, double vision in a single eye.
• Cataracts tend to develop symmetrically in both eyes and can form in any part of the lens.
• Cataracts occur in three types:
  Nuclear {one which occurs in the center of the lens},
  Cortical {one which begins as whitish, wedge-shaped opacity on the outer edge of the lens cortex},
  Sub-capsular {one which starts as a small, opaque area just under the capsule of the lens}.
• Factors that increase your risk of cataracts include: age, diabetes, family history, eye injury, smoking.
• The only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery to remove the clouded lens, which usually includes replacing the lens with a clear lens implant.
