How is Cataract Diagnosed?

An ophthalmologist can diagnose cataracts through a detailed eye examination, which may include:

Visual acuity test to check clarity of vision
Slit-lamp examination to inspect the eye’s lens
Retinal exam using dilation drops to view the back of the eye
Tonometry to measure eye pressure
These tests help determine the type, size, and impact of the cataract on your vision.

Advanced Treatment Options for Cataract

Cataract surgery is the only effective treatment to restore vision. Modern procedures are quick, safe, and painless. Common techniques include:

Phacoemulsification (Phaco): Uses ultrasound to break and remove the cloudy lens before placing an artificial lens.
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS): Uses advanced laser technology for precise lens removal.
Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): Recommended for very advanced cataracts.

At Pristyn Care, surgeons primarily use laser-assisted methods to ensure faster recovery and improved visual outcomes.

Recovery Time

Most patients notice significant improvement in vision within a few days after surgery. Full recovery usually takes around 4 to 6 weeks, although daily activities can be resumed within 1 to 2 days in most cases.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before surgery, the doctor will perform a complete eye check-up, review your medical history, and suggest the best lens options.
During the procedure, local anesthesia will be applied, and the cataract will be removed using phaco or laser techniques. A new intraocular lens will be implanted.
After surgery, you will rest briefly at the clinic, and most patients can return home the same day.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First 24 hours: Rest and avoid rubbing the eyes
First week: Use prescribed eye drops, wear protective glasses
2 to 4 weeks: Resume normal activities, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercises
4 to 6 weeks: Complete healing with clear vision restored
Follow-up visits are crucial to monitor recovery and adjust medication if needed.

FAQs

Is cataract surgery painful?

No, cataract surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure.

How long does cataract surgery take?

Most surgeries take 15 to 30 minutes per eye.

Can cataracts come back after surgery?

The cataract itself cannot return, but sometimes the lens capsule can become cloudy, which is treatable with a quick laser procedure.

What is the ideal age for cataract surgery?

There is no specific age. Surgery is recommended when vision problems start affecting daily activities.

Can both eyes be treated at the same time?

Usually, each eye is operated on separately with a gap of a few days or weeks for better recovery.
