How to Plan Spectacle-Free Cataract Surgery?

by

Most people wearing spectacles wish to get rid of them for cosmetic reasons, disturbances during contact sports like football/cricket, difficulty during gym/swimming, and getting bored wearing the spectacle for half of their respective lives, etc. But the main question is – how can we get rid of it easily?

Yes, you can!

If you are diagnosed with cataracts, then cataract surgery is an effective way to get rid of the spectacle. This article will help you plan a spectacle-free cataract surgery seamlessly.

Overview of Cataract Surgery

A cataract is a condition that develops when a person’s natural crystalline lens becomes cloudy. In cataract surgery, an eye specialist, i.e., an Ophthalmologist, replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens, generally called an Intraocular lens (IOL). The selection of IOL will decide whether the dependency on glasses has reduced for distance only or both distance and near activities.

Characteristics of Intraocular Lens (IOL)

IOLs provide focusing power to the patient’s eye. Various existing and latest technology IOLs are available for cataract patients, such as Monofocal IOLs, Toric IOLs, Multifocal IOLs, Trifocal Lens, Extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses etc. The appropriate IOL (Intraocular lens) for a patient depends on multiple factors like lifestyle and visual needs. Even after cataract surgery, some patients might need to wear spectacles depending on their IOL selection. However, getting spectacle-independent cataract surgery is also possible in Mumbai. The Superspecialist team of doctors at Iksha Eye Care, Mumbai, can make things easier for IOL selection by detailed and professional guidance using the latest technologies to help you decide the best IOL for your eye.

Best Way to Get Rid of Spectacles Through Cataract Surgery:

There are two main categories of IOL

1) Basic Monofocal IOL’s  2) Premium Multifocal IOL’s
The primary difference between basic and premium IOLs is that basic IOLs do not correct the near vision problems of the cataract patient, while premium IOL can improve near vision significantly.

Iksha Eye Care, Mumbai, is one of the leading eye care hospitals that provide one of the best patient-centric guidance in easy-to-understand patients’ own language for cataract surgery in Mumbai. The centre is well equipped with a modern set-up and managed by a team of superspecialist experienced doctors and staff that focus on providing top-notch eye care services to their respective patients.

Types of Premium IOLs

There are mainly three types of premium IOLs.

1. Monofocal IOLs with Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) technology (Distance + Intermediate)

Patients who wish to reduce spectacle dependency for distance (watching television, etc.) + intermediate vision (use of laptops/ cooking etc.) but are okay to wear reading glasses can opt for this category of lenses.

2. Multifocal IOLs(Distance + Near)

Patients who wish to reduce spectacle dependency for distance (watching television, etc.) + near vision (use of mobile phones/reading books etc.) but do not have major laptop/desktop/cooking work can opt for this category of lenses.

3. Trifocal IOLs (Distance + Intermediate + Near)

Patients who wish to drastically reduce spectacle dependency for distance (watching television, etc.) + intermediate vision (use of laptops/ cooking etc.) + near vision (use of mobile phones/reading books etc.), and wish to have maximum freedom from the spectacle, can opt for Trifocal IOLs.

4. Toric IOLs

Due to the oval shape of their eyeball, some people have significant cylindrical power in their glasses, called astigmatism. Toric IOLs can correct the cylindrical power and significantly enhance the patient’s quality of vision.

Get Rid of Spectacles Now!

Steps to follow to get spectacle-free cataract surgery are as follows:

1. Understand the Available Options

A patient should first ask for a detailed brief that includes the in-depth procedure, pros and cons of the treatment, causes, etc., of all the available premium IOL options from the doctor.

2. Set the stage

With many IOLs technologies coming up, it is essential for a patient to know the cost of such high-technology and analyze it. They should set the expectation from a particular cataract surgery before surgery, have pre-operative counseling, and know which IOL will suit them the best rather than just going with the flow and regret later.

3. Forecast the Post-Operative Problems

The best way to avoid the pitfalls of the premium IOL is to predict, analyze and prevent them before the cataract surgery instead of letting the consequences surprise you later.

4. Go for a suitable Cataract Surgery

After analyzing all the aspects of cataract surgery, you are fully ready for cataract surgery with modern premium IOLs.

What is the Latest Technology in Cataract Surgery?

by

You would have heard about cataract surgery in your surroundings from your neighbor, friends, family, etc.

But what exactly is Cataract Surgery?
How is it performed?
Is it necessary to improve eyesight?
Which technology is used in Cataract Surgery?

To find out the answers to all such questions, read on.

What is a Cataract?

A cataract refers to the clouding of the eye lens. This condition develops over a period and slowly starts affecting vision and eyesight. By age 65, more than 90% of people have cataracts. Having a cataract is like looking through a frosty or fogged glass. Cataract surgery is indicated if impaired vision interferes with a person’s daily activities, symptoms of glare or double vision, frequent changes in glasses with dissatisfaction in vision with the new glass prescription, etc.

What is a Cataract Surgery?

Cataracts cannot be treated/removed with local eye drops, but surgery is the only option. Cataract surgery is one of the most widely performed surgeries in the world. Various eye care hospitals offer cataract surgery in Mumbai. In this surgery, an eye doctor called an Ophthalmologist replaces the natural crystalline lens with an artificial lens known as an Intraocular Lens (IOL) implant. Let’s see about it in detail.

Intraocular Lens (IOL)

Before performing cataract surgery, an ophthalmologist conducts non-contact optical biometry with the latest swept-source technology, which is incorporated with the most advanced IOL formulae, which the eye surgeon selects as per the size and shape of the eye scheduled for surgery. This helps the surgeon to plan the most suitable type of IOL implant with maximum correction of the power of the eye.
The IOL then gradually becomes a permanent part of the patient’s eye. Most of the IOLs are made up of acrylic material.

There are various types of Intraocular lenses (IOL), and they are as follows:

● Monofocal IOLs – It helps to give a better distance vision with the need for reading glasses.

● Multifocal IOLs – It is a premium IOL with good correction for both distance and near focus simultaneously (the need for near glasses is reduced by 60-70%)

● Toric IOLs – It is suitable for the correction of cylindrical power of the eye called Astigmatism.

● Trifocal IOLs – Latest technology. Better correction for distance (watching tv/outdoor activity etc.) + intermediate (laptop/cooking etc.) + near vision (reading/mobiles etc.) with the least dependency on glasses for most of the daily activities.

● Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs – Latest technology – Work by extending the range of vision and help the patient get a ‘Continuous Range of Vision’ for most daily activities.

Iksha Eye Care Centre (Mumbai, India) offers the best laser cataract surgery in Mumbai, wherein no injection, patch, or sutures are involved. It is a completely painless surgery of 15 minutes. It has all the latest technologies in cataract surgery and is performed by experienced, highly-skilled eye specialists providing hassle-free and patient-friendly services with utmost safety.

What Is the Reason for Irritation and Watering After Cataract Surgery?

by

Being able to see the world and people is indeed a privilege. While enjoying the privilege, it is essential to protect our eyes and our vision and ensure that our eyes are healthy.

What is a Cataract?

A cataract is defined as a clouding/whitening of the eye’s natural crystalline lens,resulting in difficulty in reading, driving a car, etc. A person cannot appreciate cataracts in their initial days as the cataract develops slowly. There are various causes of cataracts.

Causes of Cataract are as follows:

● Increasing age
● Diabetes Mellitus
● Excessive exposure to sunlight
● Smoking
● Excessive alcohol
● Genetics

Cataract is very common and can be treated easily. There are various cataract surgeons in Mumbai, it is even possible to have cataract surgery in Andheri, Mumbai. Iksha Eye Care has one of the best cataract surgeons in Mumbai with an experience of over a decade. During
surgery, the surgeon replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens called as Intraocular Lens (IOL) implant.

The most frequent problem which patients face even after a successful cataract surgery is irritation and watering in the operated eye.

Major Causes of Irritation and Watery Eyes are:

Cuts on Corneal Nerves

During cataract surgery, the cornea, i.e., the front transparent part of the eye, plays an important role. A cataract surgeon makes an incision over the cornea to enter inside the eye and replace the original lens with an artificial one. This can lead to temporary dryness and may be one of the reasons of ocular irritation. A 3-month course of lubricating eye drop can help in such cases.

Pre-existing Dry Eyes

If a patient had dry eyes before cataract surgery, there is a high possibility that they may continue to have dry eyes after cataract surgery which is quite normal. In such cases, a 6-month course of 1% carboxymethylcellulose or 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drop can help.

Medicines after Cataract Surgery

The use of medications after cataract surgery can irritate the eyes as they come in different formulations like suspensions etc. But all these
medications are utmost important for successful outcome of cataract surgery. Preservatives in eye drops can also cause discomfort in the eyes.

Pre-existing Eye Diseases

Majority of patients undergoing cataract surgery suffer from eyelid problems like meibomian gland dysfunction (oily eyelids) and is one of most common cause of irritation after cataract surgery. Patients with Diabetes Mellitus has a weak ocular tear film (dryness) and can increase the incidence of irritation and watering in the post operative period.

Things To Avoid After Cataract Surgery till 1 month

● Rubbing of eyes
● Driving, unless your doctor allows it
● Heavy lifting of weights
● Swimming and use of hot tubs
● Wearing eye makeup
● Forcible sneezing
● Going in crowdy and dusty places

How To Take Care of The Eyes Of Children?

by

As we all know, the eyes are one of the most sensitive and essential organs, and it is vital to take care of them. In contrast, children are the most innocent and mischievous ones. So, It is necessary to look after them and ensure they are not hurting themselves, especially their eyes. First eight years of life is critical for vision development and eye brain coordination.

Before we move ahead, it is crucial to understand and remember the difference between a paediatrician and a paediatric ophthalmologist. A paediatrician is a child specialist who provides the overall medical care of the children, and a Paediatric Ophthalmologist is an eye specialist who has specialised in the care of children’s eyes. So, a paediatrician performs limited eye examinations whereas a Paediatric Ophthalmologist evaluate the child’s eye in detail with specialised equipments and several additional tests.

There are many decent Paediatric Ophthalmologist centres; Iksha Eye Care, Andheri (Mumbai) centre has one of the best Paediatric Ophthalmologists in Mumbai with experience of more than a decade. It provides extensive eye care services, has one of the finest child eye care infrastructures for safe and hassle-free services, and offers one of the best squint surgery in Mumbai.

Simple and Easy Ways to Protect Your Children’s Eye

Resting of Eyes

Children often indulge in numerous activities like playing online games, watching YouTube videos, reading, writing, etc. Such activities put a strain on the eyes. Therefore, it is our duty to make sure that children are not continuously engaging themselves in such eye-straining activities for a longer period. Taking at least 30-40 breaks between all such activities for a child is mandatory to maintain their proper eyesight.

Healthy Diet

Adopting a balanced diet that includes green leafy vegetables, carrots is essential to keep our eyes healthy, especially of children. One should avoid giving junk food to children. Fruits like papaya, orange are rich in vitamin A and C, berries and almonds are rich sources of vitamin E which acts as antioxidants, fish like salmon are rich sources of omega 3 fatty acids. All these are very important for maintaining good eyesight in children.

Regular Eye Check-ups

As a responsible parent, the most important thing to do is to ensure that the eyes of their children are developing properly with proper eyesight. One can schedule eye check-up according to vaccination schedule which is easy to remember. Always remember, at birth child can see things only close to face and gradually the vision develops and reach adult values by 6 to 8 years of life. Regular Eye check-up at 6 months,1 year, before preschool (3 years), before pre-primary (5 years) and then annually is important.

Outdoor Activities

In this world of digitalisation especially in the post-covid pandemic era, it is difficult to convince a child to leave online games, videos and engage in outdoor games and activities. But it is essential. If a child continues to engage in various digital screen activities, it will negatively affect their eyesight, leading to major long term eye related problems like dry eye, progressive myopia etc.

Sleep Schedule

Nowadays, children are usually on their phones/tablets, it has become imperative for them to have a proper sleep schedule; otherwise, it will affect their eyesight. It’s important to make a habit of no screen 2 hours before going to sleep for inducing sound sleep for your little one.

Avoid Eye Rubbing

Children unknowingly rub their eye which is usually noticed by parents but ignore it as just another child’s habit. It is essential to check on them and ensure they avoid rubbing their eyes. Eye rubbing can affect corneal development and can change spectacle number frequently and is an important cause for abnormal corneal shape like keratoconus etc.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

by

As the name suggests, diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes induced eye disease. Diabetes has many effects on the body. One of the prominent facts is that it affects the eye. This can lead to major eyesight problems. The high sugar levels cause damage to the retina in the eye. Moreover, a diabetes patient is medically advised to get a regular checkup as the problem can lead to gradual vision loss. The blood vessels swell and leak, blocking the eye. Moreover, this can lead to the development of abnormal retina growth in the blood vessels. These are one of the major issues that must be considered while seeking treatment for diabetic retinopathy. In this article, we are going to explore the details and aspects of this medical condition and the best retina treatment in Mumbai.

Stages of the diabetes eye disease

There are two main stages of diabetic eye disease. Below we have mentioned some of the details about the main stages of diabetic retinopathy.

NPDR (Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy)

This is the most common eye condition that diabetic patients go through. Many people who have diabetes are suffering from this medical condition. With NPDR, tiny blood vessels leak, and that makes the retina swell. This leads to the macula swell when the macula starts to swell. This medical problem is called macular ischemia. Due to this issue, the blood does not reach the macula. Moreover, some of the tiny particles can form in the retina called exudates. This can affect the vision too. Hence, the NPDR leads to blurry vision.

PDR (Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy)

This is a more advanced type of eyesight problem for medical patients. The PDR is considered to be a serious eyesight issue. It usually happens when the retina starts developing new vessels. This is called neovascularization. These newly formed vessels often bleed in the vitreous. Minor bleeding can blur out your vision, and severe bleeding might cause vision loss. These blood vessels can form scar tissue, which can lead to the problem of the macula or lead to detached vision. PDR is extremely severe and can result in losing central and peripheral (side) vision.

Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy

There are symptoms of diabetic retinopathy that indicate these problems. Below we are going to mention some of the prominent symptoms that you will gradually notice, such as:

  • Increasing number of floaters
  • Blurry vision
  • Fluctuating vision
  • Black and white vision
  • Having night vision
  • Colors appear faded or washed out
