What is a Cataract?
The word “cataract” is derived from the Greek word cataracts which loosely translates to waterfall. It was believed that a congealed fluid from the brain had flowed in front of the lens of the eyes. Today, eye cataract is defined as the clouding of the lens of your eyes. When proteins present in the eye form clumps, it muddles the vision with a cloudy, hazy outline. It gradually develops and starts interfering with your vision and unless treated could lead to total blindness.

Treatments for Cataract
Surgical Options:
- Phacoemulsification: A most common and modern technique for cataract eye surgery. It involves using ultrasound energy to break up the cloudy lens into small fragments, which are suctioned out of the eye.
- Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE): In this traditional method, the surgeon removes the entire lens in one piece. Phacoemulsification is more common today due to its smaller incisions and faster recovery.
Intraocular Lens Options
- Monofocal IOL: This lens type provides clear vision at a single focal distance, typically for distance vision. Glasses may be needed for reading or other tasks.
- Multifocal IOL: These lenses are designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances, reducing the need for glasses after surgery.
- Toric IOL: Corrects astigmatism in addition to cataracts.
- Accommodative IOL: Mimics the natural lens' ability to shift focus between near and far distances.
Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgeons sometimes utilize advanced laser technology to assist with specific steps in eye cataract treatment, enhancing precision and efficiency in cataract operation.
A femtosecond laser creates precise incisions, fragments the cloudy lens, and facilitates its removal. This method offers improved accuracy, reduces the need for manual steps, and enhances overall surgical outcomes, leading to quicker recovery and improved visual results for patients undergoing cataract eye surgery.
