Cataract
Cataract ( Motibindu )
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye (the clear part of the eye that helps to focus light). This can make your vision cloudy. Surgery is the only way to get rid of cataracts.
Who Needs Cataract Surgery
Your eye doctor will probably suggest cataract surgery, if you have vision loss that gets in the way of everyday activities like reading, driving, or watching TV.
Your doctor might also recommend surgery even if your cataracts aren’t the main cause of your vision
problems.
You don’t need to rush to have surgery to get rid of cataracts. Ask your eye doctor about the risks
and benefits of cataract surgery to decide if it’s right for you.
Keep in mind that if you have cataracts in both eyes, you’ll need to have surgery on each eye at a
separate time.
Cataracts affect millions of people worldwide, causing vision loss and reducing independence. At Om Hospital, we understand the impact cataracts can have on your life, and we're here to help.
