CATARACT

Cataract is a clouding of the natural crystalline lens. Over 50% of the population over the age 65 have some cataract development. Diagnosis and grading of all types of cataract is done using 5 steps AIA 15S slit lamp. The patient and the dear ones can also visualize the stage of cataract through the digital imaging unit. The saved images can be refereed at a later date to monitor the progress of the condition.

Cataract and Other Causes of Blindness

The leading cause of blindness worldwide remains cataract. In most cases, this opacity of the eye lens is an age-related issue, but it can also form after accidents or infections. Some children are born with cataract. The opaque lens can be removed surgically and changed for a clear artificial one, a process that takes about 15 minutes and is done under local anaesthetic. It is one of the most efficient medical interventions and carries little risk. Cataract is responsible for the loss of sight of 20 million people worldwide.
It accounts for 51% of global blindness, followed by glaucoma (8%) and macular degeneration (5%). Blindness and visual impairment in children can have various causes, such as vitamin A deficiency, congenital or traumatic cataract and uncorrected refractive errors.
