What is Cataracts?
A cataract is a progressive, painless clouding of the natural lens of the eye, located below the iris and pupil. Cataracts form when proteins in the eye's lens begin to stick together, making your vision cloudy or blurry, much like looking through a foggy window.
Once you've been diagnosed, the only available treatment option is cataract surgery. Fear not, cataract removal is a quick, painless treatment that can be done as a day case. Cataract surgery is one of the most often performed surgery at NHS procedure.
Our team at Eagle Eye Care is one among the top service providers in cataract surgery as we provide the best cataract surgery using the latest technology to ensure fast recovery and long-lasting vision improvement. When your treatment is completed, your vision will return to how it was prior to the cataracts.
What is Cataract Surgery?
A tiny incision is made in the eye during cataract surgery to allow the surgeon to remove the clouded lens. A synthetic intraocular lens (IOL) is subsequently used to replace the clouded lens. To enhance eyesight, the surgeon removes this cloudy lens during cataract surgery and replaces it with a new artificial lens. If left untreated, it steadily worsens, begins to impair your eyesight, and could result in total blindness. Your eyesight is restored by the IOL replacement
Cataract surgery is a lifelong process as the artificial lens is permanent.
Who gets Cataracts?
Cataracts are a multifactorial condition primarily associated with aging but can also result from genetic, medical, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Cataracts in older people over the age of 60 are so common they can be regarded as a normal part of the aging process. Among the major conditions related to cataracts are diabetes or injury to the eye. Medications such as steroids can also cause cataract formation. Some cataracts are inherited.
In rare cases, congenital cataracts are present on infants. These cataracts can be due to genetic factors or infections, such as rubella, that occur during pregnancy.

Understanding the procedure
-
Incision: A small incision (about 2-3 mm) is made at the edge of the cornea using a microsurgical blade
-
Capsulorhexis: A circular opening is created in the front portion of the lens capsule using a fine needle or forceps. This step is crucial for accessing the natural lens and for stable placement of the IOL.
-
Phacoemulsification: An ultrasonic probe is inserted through the incision to break up (emulsify) the cloudy lens into small fragments which are then suctioned out of the eye.
-
Lens Removal: The emulsified lens material is completely removed, leaving the empty lens capsule in place
-
Insertion of the Intraocular Lens (IOL): The folded IOL is inserted through the small incision into the lens capsule using an injector. Once inside, the IOL unfolds and is positioned correctly within the capsule
-
Closing the Incision: The small incisions are usually self-sealing and may not require sutures. In some cases, tiny stitches may be used if necessary
